Longevity & Aesthetics: A Clinical Conversation

​How do surgical decisions, body confidence, and longevity intersect over a lifetime?

​Join Sydenham Clinic for an educational afternoon in The Woodlands featuring two clinical leaders approaching health from complementary perspectives.

​Dr. Caroline Clarke, a board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon, will discuss surgical care through the lens of long-term wellbeing — including reconstructive and aesthetic considerations, patient expectations, recovery, and how thoughtful surgical planning can support both physical and psychological health.

​Dr. Rafael Lugo, Sydenham Clinic’s Medical Director in The Woodlands, will expand the conversation to longevity: how surgical decisions, metabolic health, inflammation, recovery capacity, and lifestyle factors influence healthspan over time. His focus is on helping patients understand how individual medical choices fit into a broader, sustainable longevity strategy.

​Together, they’ll offer a grounded, evidence-based discussion on making informed decisions about the body — without trends, hype, or oversimplification.
