Dr. Bueno is passionate about using a patient-centered approach, taking time to understand what matters most to each patient, so every treatment plan feels thoughtful, natural, and right for you.

Patients come here because they want help looking as young as they feel. Dr. Bueno’s goal is always to help you feel more confident in your own skin.
Creating a well-balanced profile takes more than surface-level adjustments—it requires a deep understanding of facial anatomy.
Dr. Scott Bueno is board-certified in maxillofacial surgery and fellowship-trained in facial cosmetic surgery, giving him a unique foundation in both the structure and aesthetics of the face. As a specialist in profile balancing procedures like chin surgery, rhinoplasty, and neck lift, Dr. Bueno approaches each case with precision and artistry. He considers the relationship between every facial feature—how the chin supports the neck, how the nose complements the lips, how the jawline frames the entire face. Each plan is tailored to your natural proportions, to enhance symmetry and restore harmony. Whether you’re seeking subtle refinement or a more noticeable change, Dr. Bueno’s training in facial structure allows him to make adjustments that feel cohesive and natural.
Dr. Scott Bueno specializes exclusively in facial surgery, offering advanced techniques that enhance harmony and preserve your individuality.
Each procedure is carefully planned and performed with a deep understanding of facial structure, balance, and aging—so you can feel more like yourself, not someone else. These are the most-requested treatments at the practice, chosen for their ability to create subtle, powerful changes that last.
Dr. Bueno trained directly under expert facial plastic surgeon, Dr. Kate O’Connor, in the extended deep plane facelift– a modern technique honed by her world-renowned mentor, Dr. Andrew Jacono.
A deep plane facelift minimizes scarring and avoids the windblown appearance associated with traditional superficial facelifts. By working beneath the SMAS layer (facial supportive structure) to lift and support the skin and muscles of the face together, Dr. Bueno is able to restore youthful contours in the cheeks, jawline, and midface without a pulled or tight look.
A deep neck lift smooths loose skin, removes excess fat, and tightens muscles under the chin and jawline for a more sculpted neck. Dr. Bueno uses advanced techniques to go beyond surface tension and enhance the underlying structure. His background in maxillofacial and facial cosmetic surgery gives him a precise understanding of the lower face. Whether done alone or with a facelift or chin procedure, the neck lift creates clean, natural definition without a pulled or hollow look.
Dr. Bueno approaches rhinoplasty with balance and restraint, shaping a nose that fits your unique facial features and proportions. His specialization in cosmetic facial surgery gives him exceptional insight into both the aesthetics and function of the nose, delivering an impeccably harmonious appearance throughout the face. Whether you’re reducing a hump, refining the tip, or are interested in just a small change, every result is tailored to your needs. Many patients combine rhinoplasty with chin surgery for complete profile alignment.
Blepharoplasty removes excess skin and puffiness from the upper and lower eyelids to reveal a more rested, alert appearance. Dr. Bueno’s fellowship training under Dr. Amerson Pegram, one of Nashville’s top oculoplastic surgeons, allows him to treat this delicate area with exceptional precision, avoiding hollowing or drastic changes. Blepharoplasty can be applied to the upper or lower lids, or combined for complete eye contour rejuvenation. This is a popular option for patients seeking a significant and low-downtime solution to tired eyes.
With age, the brow often begins to lower, contributing to a worn or even grumpy appearance. A brow lift (or forehead lift) can ease heaviness in the upper face, opening the eyes and softening expressions without making you look surprised or overdone. Dr. Bueno uses minimally invasive techniques to lift the forehead while preserving natural movement. It’s ideal for patients who notice a tired or stern look across the forehead, and can be combined with eyelid surgery or a facelift for a comprehensive upper-face refresh.
A small or large chin can throw off the balance of the entire face. Dr. Bueno offers both chin implants and genioplasty to improve profile proportion based on your anatomy and goals. With dual certification in both oral & maxillofacial and facial cosmetic surgery, he brings advanced structural knowledge to each case. Chin surgery is often combined with rhinoplasty, neck liposuction, or a neck lift for full-profile refinement, but it can also be performed as a subtle, high-impact change on its own.
Not every aesthetic procedure requires an operation. At Bueno MD Facial Aesthetic Surgery, we also offer a curated selection of non-surgical treatments designed to refresh, smooth, and restore with little to no downtime.
These options are ideal for patients who want to maintain youthful skin, enhance surgical results, or make small refinements over time. From Botox for wrinkle relaxation to dermal fillers that restore volume and contour, our injectors use advanced techniques to create natural improvements without looking “frozen” or overfilled.
Chemical peels, laser resurfacing, and scar revision help renew skin texture and tone, while PRP treatments harness your body’s own healing power for healthier, more radiant skin. Every treatment plan is customized to your needs and performed with the same care and precision as surgery. These subtle enhancements keep your results looking just right, whether on their own or as part of a larger aesthetic plan.
