His full name is William Taylor DeBusk, MD, and he is professionally known to patients as Dr. Taylor DeBusk. This background in head and neck surgery informs the precision he brings to delicate facial procedures.
Dr. DeBusk completed his medical education at Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center in New Orleans. That foundation was followed by specialized training in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery.
He is listed as certified by the American Board of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery. This first certification reflects rigorous training in the anatomy of the face, throat, and skull base.
Dr. DeBusk is also listed as certified by the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. Holding two board certifications is a distinction that signals a concentrated commitment to the face.
The deep plane facelift is a technique that repositions the deeper facial tissues rather than simply tightening the skin. Dr. DeBusk focuses on this method because it tends to produce results that look natural and age gracefully over time.
A deep plane facelift works below the SMAS layer, the sheet of muscle and connective tissue beneath the skin that supports the cheeks and jawline. By releasing and lifting this layer, the procedure restores volume where the face has descended with facial aging.
Dr. DeBusk approaches each face as an individual study rather than a single fixed procedure. His goal is to balance rejuvenation with the preservation of a person's authentic expressions and features.
His experience in revision rhinoplasty speaks to a surgeon comfortable with complex, detail-driven work. Correcting a previous nasal surgery demands patience, anatomical mastery, and honest communication with patients.
Recovery is a subject Dr. DeBusk addresses candidly during the planning process. He guides patients through what to expect in the weeks following a deep plane facelift so they can plan their lives around a realistic timeline.
Nashville, a city known for its warmth, music heritage, and growing reputation as a Southern medical destination, offers a comfortable setting for facial surgery. Patients traveling here often appreciate the blend of hospitality and clinical sophistication the city provides.
Dr. DeBusk shares his work and educational content through his practice and on Instagram at @drtaylordebusk. This transparency allows prospective patients to become familiar with his aesthetic sensibility before they ever meet.
His practice, Basu Aesthetics + Plastic Surgery, is an established group offering a full range of facial and reconstructive services. Within that team, Dr. DeBusk concentrates specifically on surgery of the face.
For women considering facial rejuvenation in their fifties and sixties, Dr. Taylor DeBusk represents a surgeon whose entire training arc has pointed toward the face. His combination of ENT roots and facial plastic specialization defines the way he practices today.
What recent patients say
4.8 / 5 · 16 Google reviewsI just had my 12-month follow-up after my revision rhinoplasty with Dr. Taylor DeBusk, and I feel so incredibly grateful for him and his team. This journey meant a lot to me, and he truly exceeded every expectation I had. Dr. DeBusk has such a gift—not just technically, but artistically. He gave me results that feel so natural and truly me, just better. Nothing is overdone, and my profile is something I finally feel confident about. It’s hard to put into words how much that means. What also sets him apart is how much he genuinely cares. He listens, he’s thoughtful, and he makes you feel completely at ease through every step of the process. You never feel rushed or like “just another patient.” And the staff at Basu Plastic Surgery… they are absolutely amazing. Every single visit felt warm, welcoming, and supportive. You can tell they truly care about their patients. I’m beyond thankful I chose Dr. DeBusk. If you’re considering rhinoplasty, especially a revision, you will be in the best hands.
Dr. DeBusk performed my rhinoplasty this past December, and I truly cannot say enough good things about his work. From the very beginning, the consultation was extremely clear and thorough, which made me feel confident and well informed. On the day of surgery, he was kind, reassuring, and took the time to go over everything with me again right before I went in so we were completely on the same page. The results are amazing. He truly did wonders, and I absolutely love how everything turned out. Dr. DeBusk is someone who really listens and can deliver exactly what you want if you are clear about your goals. I couldn’t recommend him enough.👃✨💛
Dr. DeBusk gave me a rhinoplasty that gave me a beautiful new look and better breathing. I was a mouth breather with a bumpy, bulbous, and asymmetrical nose. Thanks to Dr. DeBusk’s artistry and craftsmanship, I can breathe easily through my nose which is smooth, slender, and symmetrical. It even has a cute little button to it! The “button” was an extra special wish I asked for and received. I’m in my 40’s and just had someone “boop” my nose for the first time. I think noses can get more bulbous with age, and mine was getting worse, so I look about 5 years younger now with my new nose. I’d regret not having it done sooner, which could have brought me more years of enjoyment, but this dramatic transformation in my mid-life is awesome. Life experience gives me a perspective and appreciation for this that I might not have had if I did it in my teens or twenties (not that I could have afforded it then.) It was very expensive, and the most money I’ve ever spent on my beauty by far, but it was truly an investment in myself that was worth every penny. Thank you, Dr. DeBusk!
The team here is amazing with getting your desired results and super encouraging 🙌🏾
