About Anthony S. Youn, MD
My name is Dr. Anthony Youn, and I’m a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, Award-Winning Author, and Anti-Aging Expert. As a successful plastic surgeon for twenty years who has performed tens of thousands of successful cosmetic procedures, I’ve come to realize that the key to true beauty lies in a holistic approach to youth. Surgery should be a last resort. This all started for me growing up a skinny, shy kid – the only Asian kid in a small town in the middle of Michigan. Growing up I always felt different from others and unattractive. I was skinny, wore huge, thick glasses, had braces, and worst of all a jaw that grew to enormous proportions. I remember having crushes on so many girls, and each one either laughed me off or told me that she wasn’t looking for a boyfriend right now. And invariably a week or two later she would be dating someone else. Someone better looking than me. So from an early age I’ve understood how your appearance, and how you feel about your appearance, can profoundly affect your self-esteem and how you feel about yourself. I know what it feels like to look at other people and wish you looked as good as them. I felt invisible. So after high school I ended up having surgery to set back my jaw. This surgery made me realize that you CAN control how you look and feel about yourself. Because of this surgery, I felt that I wasn’t destined to live in the shadows and be invisible to others. And this is one big reason why I became a plastic surgeon. I wanted to help others feel better about themselves and how they look just like I did. Flash forward many years and I’m a plastic surgeon in Metro Detroit. I’m one of the busiest plastic surgeons in the state of Michigan with patients flying in from all over the country to have facelifts, tummy tucks, breast lifts, and eyelid lifts done by me. I had reached the pinnacle of success as a plastic surgeon.
