The Moderne Elevate Facelift
A Customizable Deep Plane Facelift Approach to Natural Rejuvenation
At Moderne Aesthetic, we are proud to offer the Modern Elevate Facelift—a modern evolution of the deep plane facelift technique that represents the gold standard in today’s facial rejuvenation. Developed by Dr. Paul Ray Clark during his dedicated aesthetic surgery fellowship in San Diego, and refined through early years of practice, this approach reflects both technical precision and an artistic eye.
Unlike traditional facelift methods that simply tighten the skin or adjust superficial layers, the Modern Elevate Facelift releases and repositions deeper facial structures—restoring youthful contour and volume from the foundation up. This results in more natural, longer-lasting outcomes with a smoother, lifted appearance that doesn’t look “pulled” or overdone.
Every face is unique, and so is every Modern Elevate procedure. This technique is fully customizable to match the patient's anatomy, concerns, and goals. It can be performed as a comprehensive midface and lower face lift or in a more focused, minimal-access version when appropriate. Patients with early signs of aging or refined facial features may be excellent candidates for a shorter incision, less extensive approach.
Complementary procedures—such as a lateral temporal brow lift, eyelid rejuvenation, lip lift, or chemical peel—are often incorporated to enhance balance and achieve complete facial harmony. Prior to surgery, advanced 3D simulation with the Vectra system allows patients to preview potential outcomes. After surgery, our patients recover with access to hyperbaric oxygen therapy and red light therapy—proven tools to reduce inflammation, speed healing, and improve results.
As the only dedicated deep plane facelift offering of its kind in the Tallahassee and Panhandle region, the Modern Elevate Facelift represents a major step forward in aesthetic care. This is modern facial rejuvenation—thoughtfully designed, evidence-based, and elevated.

The Moderne Elevate Breast Lift
A Sculpted, Supportive, and Modern Approach to Breast Rejuvenation
At Moderne Aesthetic, we are proud to offer the Moderne Elevate Breast Lift—a refined, next-generation procedure designed to restore youthful, feminine breast contours using a combination of advanced surgical technique and structural innovation. Developed by Dr. Paul Ray Clark and inspired by his aesthetic fellowship training in San Diego, this approach moves beyond traditional mastopexy to achieve longer-lasting, naturally beautiful results.
Unlike standard breast lifts that simply tighten skin or reposition the nipple, the Moderne Elevate Breast Lift reshapes and repositions your own natural tissue into a more youthful, aesthetic form—sculpting volume and lifting the breast to an ideal position. The newly elevated breast is then supported internally by an invisible, absorbable mesh "internal bra", which gradually dissolves while leaving behind a durable framework of your own natural collagen for added strength and support.
This approach is designed for aesthetic balance, structural integrity, and lasting beauty—ideal for women seeking a modern alternative to outdated techniques. Whether you desire a more lifted appearance, improved upper pole fullness, a modest reduction, or greater symmetry, the procedure is fully customizable to suit your anatomy and goals.
Additional enhancements such as braline liposculpting or fat transfer to the breast can be performed in combination to refine silhouette and volume, further personalizing your outcome. For the right patient, the Moderne Elevate Breast Lift may even be a standalone alternative to implants—restoring shape and projection using only your own tissue.
This is not a one-size-fits-all mastopexy. It is a modern breast rejuvenation procedure, tailored to your body, powered by advanced technique, and built to last.

A brow lift rejuvenates the upper face by elevating the brows and smoothing the forehead, creating a more rested and alert appearance. It’s ideal for patients with brow descent, upper eyelid heaviness, or deep forehead lines that contribute to a tired or stern look. Dr. Clark typically performs a lateral or temporal brow lift—a modern technique that uses smaller, hidden incisions at the hairline to lift the outer brow with minimal downtime and a naturally refreshed result.
Buccal fat reduction refines the lower face by gently removing excess fat from the cheeks to create a more sculpted, contoured appearance. Ideal for patients with naturally fuller or rounder faces, this procedure enhances cheekbone definition and slims the midface without appearing harsh or overdone. When performed with precision, it offers a subtle yet elegant enhancement to facial balance and profile.
Chin augmentation enhances the balance and definition of the lower face by improving chin projection and contour. This procedure is ideal for patients with a recessed or underdeveloped chin, or those seeking better facial harmony without changing their overall appearance. Dr. Clark performs chin enhancement using either a small implant or fat grafting, depending on your anatomy and aesthetic goals, for a result that is natural, refined, and proportional.
The deep plane facelift is the most advanced surgical technique for facial rejuvenation, lifting the deeper muscle and fat layers beneath the skin to restore youthful contour and volume. Unlike older methods that pull only the surface, this approach repositions facial structures from the foundation for results that are smooth, natural, and long-lasting. Dr. Clark’s signature Moderne Elevate Facelift builds on this technique to deliver tailored, artful outcomes for both early and more advanced signs of aging.
Facial fat grafting restores youthful volume and softens hollow or deflated areas of the face using your body’s own natural fat. Commonly targeted areas include the cheeks, under-eyes, temples, and jawline. Fat is gently harvested, purified, and strategically injected to enhance facial contour and longevity—often lasting years longer than traditional fillers. It’s an excellent option for patients seeking subtle rejuvenation with natural, biocompatible results.
A lip lift shortens the distance between the upper lip and the base of the nose, subtly enhancing lip shape, increasing visible pink lip show, and restoring youthful balance to the lower face. Ideal for patients with a long upper lip, decreased tooth show, or age-related elongation, this procedure provides a natural enhancement without fillers. The result is a more defined, elegant smile and improved facial harmony.
Lower eyelid surgery addresses under-eye bags, puffiness, and skin laxity that can create a tired or aged appearance. By removing or repositioning fat and tightening the lower lid, this procedure smooths the transition between the eyelid and cheek for a more rested, youthful look. It’s especially effective for patients with prominent under-eye shadows or volume irregularities, and can be combined with fat grafting or skin resurfacing for optimal results.
This is a less extensive variation of the deep plane facelift, ideal for patients with early signs of aging focused around the lower face and jawline. It uses shorter incisions and typically does not include a formal neck lift, depending on the patient’s anatomy and goals. By still addressing the deeper facial layers, this approach offers natural-looking lift and contour with reduced downtime—perfect for those seeking a subtle yet meaningful refresh without a full facial rejuvenation.
A neck lift restores definition and smoothness to the jawline, under-chin area, and neck by tightening loose skin, removing excess fat, and repositioning underlying muscle. It’s ideal for patients bothered by neck laxity, visible bands, or a “double chin” that doesn’t match the rest of their facial profile. Often performed in conjunction with a facelift, a neck lift can also be done as a standalone procedure to achieve a more sculpted, youthful neckline.
Otoplasty reshapes and repositions the ears to create a more balanced and natural appearance, often reducing prominence or asymmetry. It’s ideal for patients—adults or teens—who feel their ears stick out or are disproportionate to their facial features. The procedure is tailored to each individual's anatomy and aesthetic goals, resulting in ears that are more harmonious with the overall facial structure, without looking altered or overcorrected.
Upper eyelid surgery removes excess skin and, when needed, fat from the upper eyelids to restore a more open, refreshed appearance. It’s ideal for patients experiencing hooding, heaviness, or loss of definition in the upper lids—whether from aging or genetics. The result is a smoother, brighter eye area that looks naturally rejuvenated, without changing the character of your eyes.
For women who want both enhanced volume and a lifted, youthful shape, this combination procedure repositions the nipple and reshapes the breast while also placing an implant for improved fullness and projection. Dr. Clark customizes the technique to match each patient's anatomy and goals—achieving balanced, natural-looking results. In select cases, a variation known as Reductive Augmentation which also included implants may be used for patients needing more lift and tissue reduction while still achieving an enhanced shape.
A breast lift restores youthful shape and position by reshaping existing breast tissue, removing excess skin, and elevating the nipple-areola complex. It’s ideal for patients experiencing sagging or volume loss due to aging, pregnancy, or weight changes. Dr. Clark performs the Moderne Elevate Breast Lift, a modern technique that uses your own tissue and internal support for longer-lasting, sculpted results—designed to enhance aesthetics, symmetry, and confidence without implants.
Breast reduction removes excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to create a smaller, more lifted, and proportionate breast shape. It’s ideal for patients experiencing physical discomfort, postural issues, or lifestyle limitations due to overly large breasts. Beyond relief of symptoms, Dr. Clark approaches reduction with a focus on aesthetics—sculpting the breast for improved symmetry, projection, and a rejuvenated silhouette that feels lighter and more aligned with your body.
Breast revision surgery addresses complications or dissatisfaction from previous breast augmentation procedures. Common reasons include implant rupture, capsular contracture, asymmetry, or a desire to change implant size or type. Dr. Clark carefully evaluates each case to develop a personalized surgical plan—whether it involves implant exchange, capsulectomy, or reshaping of the breast tissue. His goal is to restore both form and confidence with results that are balanced, aesthetic, and long-lasting.
Fat transfer to the breasts enhances shape and volume using your body’s own fat, offering a natural alternative or complement to implants. Fat is gently harvested through liposuction, purified, and strategically grafted to the breasts to improve fullness, symmetry, and contour. This approach is ideal for patients seeking subtle enhancement, implant-free refinement, or additional shaping after augmentation or lift procedures. Results are soft, natural-feeling, and long-lasting.
Subfascial breast augmentation enhances volume and shape by placing the implant above the chest muscle but beneath the fascia—a thin, supportive layer overlying the muscle. This technique is Dr. Clark’s preferred approach, offering natural contour, improved cleavage, and less animation deformity compared to traditional under-the-muscle placement. While subfascial is ideal for most aesthetic patients, Dr. Clark also performs subpectoral augmentation when anatomy or goals indicate it’s the better option. The result is a tailored, balanced enhancement with a soft, natural look.
Abdominoplasty removes excess skin and fat from the midsection while tightening the abdominal muscles to create a flatter, firmer, and more contoured waistline. It’s ideal for patients with loose skin, diastasis recti (muscle separation), or stubborn lower belly fullness—often following pregnancy or weight loss. Dr. Clark customizes each tummy tuck to match body proportions and restore core strength, with incisions placed low for discreet healing and smooth, natural-looking results.
An arm lift removes excess skin and fat from the upper arms to create a more toned, contoured silhouette. It’s ideal for patients with significant laxity due to weight loss, aging, or genetics—often described as “bat wings.” Dr. Clark customizes the incision placement and extent of tightening based on the severity of skin excess, balancing scar concealment with optimal shaping. The result is a smoother, more defined arm contour that aligns with the rest of the upper body.
This procedure enhances the shape and volume of the buttocks by transferring fat from areas like the abdomen or flanks to the buttock region and hip dips. After liposuction, the harvested fat is purified and strategically grafted to improve contour and symmetry. Dr. Clark performs gluteal fat transfer under ultrasound guidance for maximum precision and safety, using techniques refined through specialized training. The result is a smoother, more balanced silhouette with natural-looking curves.
Liposuction removes unwanted fat deposits to sculpt and refine areas of the body that are resistant to diet and exercise. Common treatment zones include the abdomen, waist, flanks, back, arms, and thighs. This procedure is ideal for patients seeking targeted contouring to enhance their natural shape. Dr. Clark uses modern techniques to achieve smooth, balanced results with minimal downtime and long-lasting improvement in body proportions.
A mini tummy tuck targets the lower abdomen by removing excess skin and tightening the underlying muscles through a shorter incision—often similar in length to a C-section scar. While less extensive than a full abdominoplasty, modern tunneled techniques allow Dr. Clark to still address all key components, including muscle separation and mild fat excess, with reduced downtime and a smaller scar. It’s ideal for patients with localized laxity below the belly button and good upper abdominal tone.
A thigh lift removes excess skin and tightens the inner or posterior thigh to improve contour, reduce sagging, and enhance leg definition. Dr. Clark customizes the procedure to each patient’s anatomy and goals, often using hidden incisions along the upper inner thigh for discreet healing. In select cases, the lift may be extended to include a posterior component or buttock lift for a more comprehensive result. Dr. Clark also performs a specialized “thong lift”—a technique learned during his aesthetic fellowship—that targets posterior thigh and lower buttock laxity while preserving natural curves and contour.
Facial rejuvenation combines complementary procedures—such as facelift, neck lift, brow lift, eyelid surgery, and fat grafting—to restore a more youthful, refreshed appearance in a harmonious way. This approach allows for comprehensive enhancement of the face and neck while maintaining natural proportions and expression. Dr. Clark customizes each plan based on your unique features, offering tailored solutions that address volume loss, sagging, and signs of aging with precision and artistry.
A mommy makeover is a customized combination of procedures designed to restore and enhance the body after pregnancy, childbirth, or significant weight changes. Most commonly, it includes a tummy tuck and breast surgery—such as augmentation, lift, or reduction—but may also involve liposuction or fat transfer for more comprehensive contouring. Dr. Clark tailors each mommy makeover to your unique anatomy, goals, and recovery preferences, helping you reclaim confidence and proportion in a balanced, elegant way.

This advanced resurfacing treatment uses a trichloroacetic acid (TCA) peel performed under general anesthesia to dramatically improve skin texture, tone, and clarity. It’s ideal for patients with sun damage, fine lines, crepey skin, or pigment irregularities—especially around the eyes and mouth. By precisely removing damaged skin layers, this surgical-level peel stimulates collagen renewal for smoother, firmer, and more radiant skin.
Chin augmentation enhances the balance and definition of the lower face by improving chin projection and contour. This procedure is ideal for patients with a recessed or underdeveloped chin, or those seeking better facial harmony without changing their overall appearance.
