Her career began as a licensed Cosmetologist and Teacher of Cosmetology, specializing in skin care, she was the youngest to be offered the position of the east coast educator for a major skin care corporation. She was then presented with the most coveted opportunity to study and teach at the world-renowned Intercoiffure in Paris, France. While her natural aesthetic talent was recognized, she decided to continue her education. Earning a degree in Psychology and a minor in Cognitive Neuroscience, she added to her undergraduate academic endeavors her Pre-Medical requisites for her Bachelor’s degree. She then went on to earn two Master of Science degrees at Thomas Jefferson University, one in Biomedical Chemistry and the second in Public Health-Clinical Trials; she defended her second thesis while completing her medical degree at the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine. Dr. Buono arrived in Chicago where she completed a 5 year of General Surgery Residency which included Trauma Surgery and Burn surgery at the well-reputed Stroger Cook County Hospital over which time her mentors witnessed and promoted her natural talent in aesthetics. Dr. Buono was then accepted into the highly competitive American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery Fellowship program. Dr. Buono is licensed in the states of Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana, and Ohio.
