Dr. Mariano Busso is a Diplomate of the American Board of Dermatology and a Fellow of the American Academy of Dermatology. He is recognized as one of the world’s leading experts in cosmetic fillers as acknowledged in the prestigious Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology (JAAD) by the president of the American Academy of Dermatology Dr. C. William Hanke 1. Dr. Mariano Busso was honored to be a part of the FDA advisory panel developing national guidelines for the use of cosmetic fillers 2-5. Over the past three decades, Dr. Busso has developed one of the largest cosmetic practices in the U.S. based in Miami, FL. Dr. Busso has now expanded his practice to Beverly Hills, CA to better serve his celebrity clientele.
Dr. Mariano Busso was born and raised in Buenos Aires, Argentina. He received his medical degree from the University of Buenos Aires School of Medicine where he graduated top of his class with Honoris Diploma, the highest academic honor. In order to expand his knowledge, he studied molecular biology for 3 years in the Department of Dermatology at Mount Saini Medical Center in Miami while making major contributions in the field of AIDS6-17. He went on to complete his Internship in General Surgery and then completed his Fellowship in Dermatology at the University of Miami. As a Dermatology resident, Dr. Busso received the highest awards a resident can receive, the George Ioannides Teaching Award and the Upjohn Research Award. He then became a Voluntary Assistant Clinical Professor in the Department of Dermatology at the University of Miami. Dr. Busso was then made Chief of Dermatology at Mercy Hospital in Miami, FL and currently remains a Senior Medical Attending.
Dr. Mariano Busso has made many breakthrough discoveries throughout his career with multiple contributions in the research field. Dr. Busso is viewed as a thought leader in his specialty. His views are always sought-after industry leaders like Allergan, Merz, Galderma, BTL and NovaThreads. Dr. Busso developed multiple original published techniques for filler injections in the cheeks, temples, forehead and hands 18-21. As a matter of fact, the scale to evaluate volume loss in the hands is called the Busso Hand Volume Severity Scale20. Dr. Busso also developed a worldwide used technique to add lidocaine to fillers as well as adjust their viscosity to the treated area 22. This discovery revolutionized the industry. Dr. Busso has also made major contributions in the field of energy devices. He helped develop treatment protocols for Ultherapy, Vanquish ME and EMSCULPT. He participated in multiple clinical trials as a Clinical Investigator for Artefill (Bellafill), Radiesse, Luminex, EMSCULPT and EMTONE.
Today, Dr. Mariano Busso continues to investigate the development of new cosmetic procedures and develop new techniques. Physicians from all over the US and the world have been trained by Dr. Busso in fillers and Botox techniques. After years of experience working with threads and fillers, he has developed the BussoLyft. The BussoLyft removes dark circles and can be combined with threads to reduce jowls using a unique technique developed using his decades of experience with threads and fillers. His technique is a game changer in rejuvenation.
Outside of his practice, Dr. Busso maintains his curiosity splitting his time between playing guitar, tennis, AIDS related charity work and his family.
