Dr. Steven Clark: A Trusted Name in Wellness & Transformation

For more than 25 years, Dr. Steven Clark has been more than just a board certified plastic surgeon—he’s been a guide, a confidant and a trusted expert for those seeking renewal, confidence and transformation–both physically and emotionally–here on our own Emerald Coast. His work isn’t just about aesthetics; he’s dedicated to helping people feel their best—inside and out. “I always strive to achieve safe results that enhance each person’s natural beauty while preserving individuality and uniqueness. I want my patients to still look like themselves—only better,” he says.

This philosophy has resonated deeply with the countless men and women who have walked through his doors, searching not just for cosmetic changes, but for a renewed sense of self, represented by 300, 5-star Google reviews.

A Legacy of Excellence & Dedication

A proud U.S. Air Force veteran, Dr. Clark was once stationed at Eglin AFB and Hurlburt Field, where he quickly gained recognition as one of the top plastic surgeons on the Gulf Coast. In 1999, he launched Bluewater Plastic Surgery in Niceville, later expanding to Santa Rosa Beach, and most recently Watersound, to welcome patients from throughout the country.

His expertise is unparalleled, with more than two decades of membership in the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) and the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS—which selects board certified plastic surgeons who have demonstrated advanced experience in cosmetic surgery)—ensuring he stays at the forefront of an ever-evolving field with sterling credentials. Most recently Dr. Clark was honored to be made a board member and serve the Florida Society of Plastic Surgeons

From facelifts and breast augmentations to liposuction and tummy tucks, along with their newest solution—UltraClear, a laser facial rejuvenation treatment that targets multiple skin layers to reduce the signs of aging—Dr. Clark’s approach blends technical precision with a deep understanding of his patients’ goals, addressing a full range of aesthetic needs. “There is no substitute for excellent surgical training and experience,” says Dr. Clark, “but having a warm, supportive staff is equally important. We want our patients to feel comfortable, confident and informed at every step.”

Compassion Meets Expertise

At Bluewater Plastic Surgery, that supportive environment starts with his dedicated team, including Board-Certified Nurse Practitioner Michelle Sasala (ARNP-BC). With 20 years of healthcare expertise, Michelle’s passion for helping patients feel their absolute best shines through in every consultation.

Dr. Clark also holds a deep respect for those who serve, offering military discounts for cosmetic procedures to current and former U.S. Armed Forces members. “It’s important to me that we give back,” he says, reflecting on his time in uniform and his admiration for military families.

Making Transformation Attainable

Understanding that cost can be a hurdle, Bluewater Plastic Surgery partners with CareCredit to offer flexible financing, making procedures more accessible than ever.

One patient’s heartfelt words sum up Dr. Clark’s impact: “He is a master of his craft. His staff is wonderful and kind, and I have nothing but good things to say about the overall experience. I couldn’t be happier!”

Confidence Begins Here

For those looking for a trusted local wellness pro, the search ends here. Whether you’re considering a full facelift, subtle refresh or body contouring, Dr. Steven Clark and his caring, expert team are ready to help you feel strong, confident and whole in your own skin.
