Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

The Face Extraordinaire
This board certified plastic surgeon is also an artist. Trust no one else with your FACE but the very best at his craft.

Honest, won't do the work just to take $$

Dr. Michael Byun is by far THE BEST Plastic Surgeon in all of Chicago. I have trusted him on the little things (injections) where he does beautiful, beautiful work and I have trusted him on big things (a facelift, nose job, chin reduction surgery).I look better now —in my 50’s than I EVER did in my 20’s! And TOTALLY NATURAL, SUBTLE, FEMININE!!! No one would ever suspect that I’ve ever had any “work” done.. They just think I’ve aged gracefully & I have amazing genes. A true Artists—5 stars!

About 1 1/2 years ago I made the best decision in my life by choosing Dr. Byun to perform his proprietary mid face lift procedure on me. After interviewing 15 plastic surgeons I was convinced he was the one I can trust to transform me from looking 60 to 40 years old.

It is a privilege to write about dr. Byun’s expertise and his incredible approach to his patients. If you are considering a cosmetic procedure, you might be wondering if you should see a plastic surgeon or a dermatologist, the answer is go see dr. Byun. A typical plastic surgeon’s formal training in dermatology is limited. His knowledge, practice and expertise go beyond the cosmetic problems of the skin. He is an expert in facial anatomy, plastic reconstructive surgery, invasive and non invasiv.
