Medical Miracles

Dr. Michael Byun (pronounced bye-OON) is a plastic surgeon, specializing in reconstructive surgery at Advocate Lutheran General Hospital in Park Ridge, Illinois. Byun helped oversee the treatment of Teri’s multiple traumatic injuries (injuries requiring a small team of doctors). Advocate Lutheran General is a Level-1 trauma center.

After the trauma team stabilized Teri’s early condition, Byun began treatment on her head, face, legs, and feet, and performed the important reconstructive surgery on her crushed skull. Working with the members of his medical team, Byun assessed the extent of Teri’s frostbite and made key decisions on what needed to be amputated. Byun also applied delicate skin grafts to Teri’s most seriously affected areas: the lower extremities from her ankles down, where frostbite literally killed living tissue, and the area where her toes were amputated.

Byun is a graduate of Northwestern University Medical School and a board-certified plastic surgeon, a specialized area of the medical field requiring seven additional years of study after medical school. He, as much as anyone who helped to save Teri’s life, understands how dangerously close she was to dying from her injuries, and the miraculous nature of her recovery.
