ART+SCIENCE Combining aesthetic expertise with hightech treatments and state-of-the-art patient education, Dr. Clifford Clark and Orlando Aesthetic Institute set new standards of excellence in cosmetic procedures.

The Future at Your Fingertips TouchMD: An Integrated Approach Looking into the future just got easier – and even more beautiful. Now, with the help of TouchMD technology, Dr. Clark’s patients can not only visualize their desired aesthetic outcome before surgery – they can also access these images from virtually anywhere.

TouchMD links with the VECTRA simulation tool, which harnesses recent advances in 3-D photography to give patients a preview of the look they’ll achieve through breast augmentation and facial procedures. Dr. Clark’s experienced clinical staff creates a model based on each person’s measurements and body type – then simulates the expected results of each procedure. Patients can virtually “try on” various breast implants, see the benefit of combining a breast lift and augmentation, or determine which type of rhinoplasty will best enhance their face.

The model can be rotated to any viewpoint to showcase how a finished procedure will appear from all angles. With TouchMD’s advanced drawing tools, Dr. Clark can illustrate the possibilities in the exam room.

TouchMD takes VECTRA’s capabilities a step further – allowing patients to access this information from the Internet. Patients can

There, they can view personalized content, such as the information from their appointments and sideby-side comparisons of how each procedure will look on their bodies. They can also upload their own images to the gallery.

As an educational tool, TouchMD offers the chance to delve into all aspects of a procedure at any point during the process.

Patients can watch videos outlining what to expect before, during and after their treatments. Back in the office, they consult with Dr. Clark regarding any desired changes.

Convenience, Accessibility, Privacy VECTRA and TouchMD are constantly evolving with the industry. As manufacturers update their products, those changes are reflected within the interface. As just one example, breast augmentation options have expanded beyond traditional silicone and saline implants, now coming in many different shapes and dimensions. VECTRA can visualize these variations for each patient.

TouchMD further enhances this experience by providing maximum convenience, accessibility and security. “Within the privacy and comfort of their own homes, patients can review all options and seek opinions from loved ones before deciding on a course of action,” says Dr. Clark. “TouchMD is bringing even more ease and personalization to the beauty experience. Our patients appreciate the chance to weigh all the relevant factors in their cosmetic procedure, and no technology on the market is more helpful than TouchMD and VECTRA. We’re proud to offer the most advanced tools to help patients select and achieve a beautiful outcome.”

“I wasn’t sure what size to choose for my breast implants. Using VECTRA and TouchMD, Dr. Clark showed me various sizes from all angles. The imaging was clear and realistic, and being able to take the photos home made me more confident in my decision. I’m thrilled with the results!”

Stunning Results – Minus the Surgery Dr. Clark’s patients continue to rave about the results they’ve achieved through two revolutionary procedures – the VanquishTM body-sculpting laser and the Sciton® HaloTM. Trim Down with No Downtime Vanquish makes it possible to get a slim physique with a painless, non-surgical, noninvasive procedure. Using “focused-field” radio waves to heat and eliminate fat cells deep within the tissue, this procedure targets problem areas such as the abdomen, love handles and back fat – zeroing in on the stubborn fat cells that don’t respond to diet and exercise…and delivering a long-lasting result. Best of all, Vanquish requires no downtime – so it’s easy to fit into a busy schedule.

In one study of 25 patients, all had visible results after the first treatment. After the full course of four sessions, 59% of abdominal fat was destroyed, on average – resulting in a two- to three-inch reduction in waist size.

Dr. Clark’s experience with Vanquish has been excellent, and he is pleased to offer a safe, effective choice for fat reduction.

“After turning 40, I noticed my belly fat was increasing gradually, despite my best efforts to work out and eat healthy. By my fourth Vanquish treatment, I had lost 4 inches. I feel much more comfortable in my body.

I have a waistline again!”

Erasing the Effects of Aging Orlando Aesthetic Institute is among the first practices in the country offering the Sciton Halo.

This hybrid fractional laser can eliminate years’ worth of spots, fine lines and wrinkles – as well as enlarged pores and scars from acne and chicken pox – while causing less pain and downtime.

The Halo uniquely targets microscopic treatment zones of the skin at different “I love the results of my Halo wavelengths in a single pass. One wavelength treatment!

Caring for Patients Across the Dr. Clark and OAI offer a wide range of services, tailored perfectly to individual needs.

Cosmetic concerns change over time.

With that in mind, Dr. Clark provides a seamless continuum of care designed to meet the needs of each patient…at any stage of their lives.

While there are many surgical procedures and approaches to plastic surgery, finding the one that is right for you takes time, knowledge and expertise. To get to know each individual’s goals, Dr. Clark maintains a collaborative dialogue from the first appointment on. Patients are

educated about the latest available technology, guided through the process of their enhancements and treated with exceptional care afterward.

From there, they can choose from a comprehensive menu for both surgical and non-surgical cosmetic enhancement. From experienced aestheticians doing superficial peels and clinical skin care … to nurse practitioners performing laser resurfacing, Botox® and injections…to Dr. Clark’s surgical expertise in the operating room, the practice offers a variety of options to help you age beautifully.

“Some patients come to us for relatively simple procedures, such as smoothing out fine lines or eliminating sun spots, and they’re so happy with the results that they decide to undergo a more dramatic procedure such as rhinoplasty,” says Dr. Clark. “We are dedicated to helping each individual uncover the beauty within – no matter where they are on the cosmetic spectrum.”

This approach – and a commitment to fostering relationships – has earned Dr. Clark a host of long-term patients. “Many return to us year after year as their cosmetic needs evolve and they reach significant life milestones,” says Dr. Clark. “It’s rewarding to stay involved in their lives and partner with them to achieve beautiful results.”

Beauty Spectrum In addition to Dr. Clark’s office in the heart of downtown Winter Park, the practice offers a sister facility: its state-ofthe-art surgical center, Orlando Aesthetic Institute (OAI). OAI is designed to provide a personalized, seamless and discreet cosmetic surgery experience.

Centrally located and nestled in the quiet College Park area of Orlando, OAI features two operating rooms, two private recovery suites for overnight stays and a separate entrance for enhanced privacy. Like the Winter Park location, every aspect of OAI is designed with comfort in mind, providing a serene, spa-like environment.

The Highest Level of Quality

On the Leading Edge State-of-the-art surgical center provides personalized cosmetic procedures.

“As a patient, you feel like you are Dr. Clark’s utmost concern. He and his staff make sure you’re comfortable and fully aware of every step of the process. Everyone is so kind and helpful that you feel like family. I am very happy with my results!”

– Linda

Accredited by the American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery Facilities, OAI uses only board-certified anesthesiologists.

As medical director of OAI, Dr. Clark works alongside three other cosmetic surgeons, each certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. Dr. James L. Baker, Jr.; Dr. Brian P. Joseph; and Dr. D. Scott Rotatori all hold extensive credentials in their field.

Under the surgeons’ supervision, OAI’s licensed surgical team includes the following staff, who deliver the highest standard of care, safety and comfort: n Terri Aplin, ARNP, has extensive experience with multiple laser platforms for skin rejuvenation, hair removal and vein treatments, with knowledge ranging from laser treatments to injectables.

n Colleen Fitch, ARNP, specializes in the latest techniques in injectables for the treatment of unwanted lines, wrinkles and lost facial volume. She integrates patient education and a nurturing approach. n Holly Rosvik, ARNP, brings compassion, technical excellence and an artistic eye. She has developed a dedicated following by customizing programs for each patient’s aesthetic needs. n Amy Taylor, LE, CLT, provides a straightforward approach to skin care that combines the right products and services to optimize overall skin wellness and health.

A Center of Excellence In addition, OAI contributes to advances in the field of cosmetic surgery as a regional center of excellence. As an assistant clinical professor at the University of South Florida, Dr. Clark invites doctors to observe carefully selected surgeries at OAI as part of their residency training.

Dr. Clark has participated in numerous FDA studies for facial fillers, including a recent one that evaluated a hyaluronic acid filler to reduce “smile lines.” As one of only four practices in the U.S. participating in the study, Dr. Clark was selected for his superior clinical reputation. Study results will be released in early 2016.

“We strive to make OAI a center of excellence in the cosmetic surgery field, from offering state-of-the-art procedures to continually advancing research and knowledge in our profession,” says Dr. Clark. “Our patients benefit from this future-oriented focus on quality care.”

Enhance and Refresh with Subtly Effective Procedures No one is immune to the effects of aging, but natural facial rejuvenation can erase the signs of gravity, sun exposure and daily stress.

Because each face ages differently, Dr. Clark customizes his approach to achieve a natural-looking result. Not everyone needs or is ready to commit to a full facelift, so patients can opt to have just their eyes or neck lifted. Dr. Clark offers multiple procedures to create facial harmony and maximize a patient’s beauty potential.

Elegant, Natural Facial

Rejuvenation Facelift, Eyelids and Brows One of the most elegant ways to address facial aging is to elevate the cheeks and jowls by use of a rhytidectomy, or facelift.

This procedure addresses the underlying structure of the face, also known as the superficial musculo-aponeurotic system (SMAS), which tends to weaken and sag with age. Dr. Clark completes the procedure via an artistic, almost invisible incision around the ear.

For others, sagging brows and eyelids are the primary concern. As eyebrows become lax, especially toward the outside of the eye, it can result in a tired, sad look.

Dr. Clark makes an incision of less than one inch in the hairline – and, using an endoscope, he re-suspends the brow in a minimally invasive fashion.

Compare Credentials The upper and lower eyelids can also be refreshed. Removal of a pinch of skin from the upper eyelids is a simple technique with striking results. The lower eyelids are more complex, but a minimally invasive technique combined with lasering of the skin can typically restore a youthful appearance.

When Choosing a Plastic Surgeon

Fat Transfer Often, the addition of volume to the eyelid-cheek junction is also necessary. In this case, fat provides an ideal substance for a long-term result – allowing for “re-inflation” of the face around the lips and chin. The fat is gently removed from unwanted areas, purified and then precisely placed using injection techniques.

Rhinoplasty Rhinoplasty involves changing the contour or size of the nose. The procedure can adjust the shape of the bridge, tip or nostrils, as well as correct crookedness, injuries and breathing abnormalities. It can even correct problems with previous rhinoplasties.

Dr. Clark has trained with several worldrenowned rhinoplasty surgeons and has published numerous scientific articles on the topic. One of the most recent exciting innovations is the use of a nonsurgical injection technique to improve even the most challenged nose.

“Before my rhinoplasty, I never wanted people to see my profile. It really affected my self-esteem. Dr. Clark eased my mind and gave me a full understanding of what to expect from my procedure. My nose was not an easy one, but Dr. Clark is a true sculptor. I’m so happy with the results.”

Experience, Board Certification Should Top the List of “Must-Haves” When considering plastic surgery, it’s critical to do thorough research before selecting a surgeon, because not all are equally experienced or credentialed.

Throughout his 20 years of clinical experience, Dr. Clark has set the bar for surgical excellence in Central Florida. He has been consistently recognized by patients, peers and readers of Orlando Magazine and Orlando Business Journal as a “Top Doctor” in Central Florida. He has also been featured on the elite list of “Best Doctors” by U.S. News & World Report.

While state law permits any licensed physicians to call themselves cosmetic or plastic surgeons, there is no guarantee they have received surgical training. By contrast, board-certified plastic surgeons like Dr. Clark have completed five to seven years of surgical training following medical school. Dr. Clark’s credentials include a general surgery residency, laboratory research and a plastic surgery fellowship.

This extensive training develops surgeons’ technical skills and aesthetic judgement and enables them to offer patients a comprehensive range of potential – and sometimes complex – procedures.

During his career, Dr. Clark has helped advance the specialty through leading clinical research, training the next generation of aesthetic surgeons, and continually refining surgical and non-surgical techniques.

Many individuals want quick, simple fixes for their cosmetic needs, and in many cases, Dr. Clark’s practice can offer that. However, sometimes the solution is more complex. “Patients should select a surgeon who employs a customized approach and is willing to have an honest, realistic evaluation and ongoing dialogue about their individual goals,” says Dr. Clark.
