D. Byun’s Midface Lift

Dr. Byun’s Midface Technique was presented at the national meeting of Plastic Surgery.

The technique was featured as a video at the American College of Surgeons at the Orlando meeting May 1998.

The delicate aging process of the midface involves the relationships between the lower eye, the cheek area, and the corner of the mouth. Thus, the process of one area affects the other.

The concept of Dr Byun’s face lift is to restore the natural youthful disposition of the cheek by elevating the descended malar cheek pad through very small incisions therefore helping to reshape the central face and achieving a revitalized look.

• Patient: female
• Procedures: Midface lift, lower eye/bleph lift, lateral brow lift
• Photos were taken 9 months after the surgery.

This patient sought out Dr. Byun to improve her facial features. Dr. Byun endoscopically performed a mid-face muscle lift, neck lift, jowl lift, and brow lift. To prevent further upper lid hood hovering and drooping, Dr. Byun performed upper blepharoplasty and lower blepharoplasty to remove bags under the eyes. The results show a tighter jawline.

Procedures

• Midface Lift
• Muscle Facelift (orbicularis oculi (eye muscle) tightening, zygomaticus major (cheek muscle) lifting and firming, buccinator tightening (droopy lower cheek next to mouth), platysmal (neck muscle) tightening
• Jowl Lift
• Neck Lift
• Lower & Upper Blepharoplasty
• Brow Lift

All of the above procedures are performed through multiple small incisions using endoscopes. The facial muscles are lifted right above the bone called the periosteal layer. The lifted muscles are anchored to the bone, periosteum (tough thick membrane that lines the outer surface of all bones).

• Patient: female
• Procedures: Midface muscle lift, jowl lift, neck lift with liposuction, brow lift, and lower blepharoplasty
• Photos were taken 2 months after surgery.

This patient had a tired, puffy look. After only 2 months shown in the above photos, you can see a dramatic difference in bulging fat pockets and lines from aging. The patient is shown in the after-photos during the early stages of healing, without makeup. She continues to observe progress toward her optimal results.

Procedures:

• Endoscopic-assisted browlift with facelift
• Facial muscle lift; buccinator tightening (droopy lower cheek next to mouth),
• Jowl lift
• Neck lift and neck lipsuction
• Lower lid canthopexy (the tightening of lower lid margin)
• Upper lid blepharoplasty (the removal of skin and tightening of eye muscle)
• Rhinoplasty with septoplasty (to straighten the septum dividing left and right nostrils) and turbinectomy (reduction or removal of an enlarged turbinate from inside the nose to improve breathing); correction of the malrotated lower lateral cartilage, reduction of the hump, and to improve nasal airway

This patient is a professional singer that was looking to restore a youthful and natural appearance that she once remembered having. With being in the entertainment industry since the age of fourteen and performing in front of hundreds of audience members regularly, Dr. Byun understood patient’s desire to bring back a young and lively stage presence.

• The patient is a healthy female who would like to improve excess lines. She does not want to obtain drastic changes at this point. She has quite significant ripples on the central face from the lower eye cheek to the mouth area that will improve with the muscle lift and face lift from the side and superiorly to be lifted. Patient does not want to change the eye shape at this point. She is lacking slight volume from the cheek area
• Procedure: Patient had the endoscopic-assisted face and jowl lift and muscle lift, fat graft from the abdomen to the face, cheek and nasolabial fold.
• Photos taken 3-1/2 month after.

• Patient: Male who would like to improve the facial aging, also he want to look similar a younger version of himself without pulling the skin too much.
• Procedures: Endoscopic-assisted brow lift, Midface lift, Jowl/Neck lift, Lower and Upper eye blepharoplasty, Liposuction chin

The ear lobe cannot be cut and replaced; the skin and muscle inferior to the ear lobe have to be lifted to reduce tension along the ear lobe. This is the reason why quick skin based facelift will always cause a bad appearance of the ear lobe.

Dr. Byun has been the pioneer and one of the very first to work on mid facelift or muscle lift of the face since 1997. As a matter of fact Dr. Byun was the first to perform the surgery at Northwestern University in 1998 and his video of ‘ VECS’ was first presented to the American College of Surgery in 1998. His presentation of Vertical lift, Endoscopic assisted, Composite muscle flap Suspension technique ( VECS) was its first at Chicago plastic surgery meeting in 1998. Since then, he has been perfecting his method of face muscle lift for almost 20 years.
