Some of our Michigan Plastic Surgery Procedures
Body Contouring Surgery
Body Contouring Plastic Surgery
Body contouring surgery covers a range of procedures that are designed to change the shape of the body. These plastic surgery procedures use both surgical and non-surgical methods to alter body contours. The goals are to remove excess fat, tighten loose skin, and enhance the overall shape of the body.
Common body contouring procedures include:
- Liposuction – Removes fat from specific areas of the body
- Body lifts – Tightens loose, sagging skin, often after major weight loss
- Tummy tucks – Flattens the abdomen and tightens abdominal muscles
- Mommy makeovers – A combination of procedures to reshape the body after pregnancy
- Brazilian butt lifts (BBLs) – Transfers fat to enhance the size and shape of the buttocks
There are also several non-surgical options for fat reduction and contouring.
Dr. Michelle Hardaway offers specialized body sculpting and contouring services for both men and women. Her surgical offerings include liposuction, mommy makeovers, body lifts and more. She also provides non-surgical fat reduction treatments. Dr. Hardaway helps patients regain confidence post-pregnancy or weight loss, reduce enlarged male breast tissue, or simple liposuction procedures.

Face and Neck Plastic Surgery
Face and Neck Plastic Surgery
Face and neck plastic surgery consists of various procedures to provide a more youthful facial appearance. These can include:
- Cheek augmentation
- Facelifts
- Fat transfers
- Combined procedures
Liposuction treats the double chin area by removing fat deposits under the chin and along the neck.
Lip Augmentation
Full, shapely lips with a defined border are often seen as beautiful and youthful. Lip augmentation enhances lip shape and volume for a plumper, younger look.
As we age, lips thin out, lose shape and the cupid’s bow flattens. This can be especially noticeable for those with naturally thin lips.
Surgical options for lip enhancement include:
- Fat grafting
- Gore-Tex or Alloderm implants – provide definition and border
Lip augmentation suits those seeking to:
- Enhance the lips they were born with
- Restore age-related lip changes
When consulting Michigan plastic surgeon Dr. Hardaway about lip augmentation, she presents both nonsurgical (injectable fillers like Juvederm) and surgical options.
Eyelid Lift (Blepharoplasty)
An eyelid lift (blepharoplasty) removes under eye bags and treats drooping eyelids.
Nose Surgery (Rhinoplasty)
Rhinoplasty reshapes the nose by altering size, bridge width, nostril size, humps and tip projection.
Brow Lift
A brow lift specifically tightens forehead skin, unlike a full facelift.
Neck Lift
A neck lift (lower rhytidectomy) tightens loose, sagging skin around the chin and neck.
Fat Grafting
Fat transfer to the face is commonly paired with a facelift. Following post-op instructions optimizes fat graft survival.
Ear Surgery (Otoplasty)
Otoplasty changes the shape, position or size of the ears, often to pin back protruding ears.
Facial Implants
Cheek, chin and jaw implants augment facial shape and structure.

Minimally Invasive Facial Rejuvenation
Minimally Invasive Plastic Surgery
Minimally invasive facial rejuvenation plastic surgery procedures enhance appearance without surgery. Small incisions or non-invasive treatments like microneedling or fillers alter the look of the face.
Non-Surgical Options
Non-surgical options improve facial appearance without major surgery. These include:
- Chemical peels
- Radio frequency skin tightening
- Laser skin resurfacing
- Dermal fillers
- Neurotoxin injections (Botox)
Profound RF Microneedling
Profound radiofrequency microneedling reduces fine lines, lifts sagging skin, and refreshes overall facial appearance. It boosts natural collagen, hyaluronic acid and elastin. One session can yield noticeable improvements within weeks, with final results at 6 months. Improvements are long-lasting.
Fraxel Laser Skin Resurfacing
Fraxel is a fractional laser that resurfaces skin and evens out tone and texture. It creates small wounds to stimulate collagen and cell renewal. It treats sun spots, scars, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation and has a 1-3 day recovery. Multiple sessions 2 weeks apart provide optimal improvements that can last years.
Botox for Wrinkles
Botox temporarily paralyzes facial muscles to smooth appearance of wrinkles. Regular touch-ups every 3 months maintain results. Botox also has medical uses like smoothing forehead lines or treating migraines.
Fillers for Facial Lines
As we age, losing facial elasticity causes wrinkles and sagging. Dermal fillers replace lost volume, filling in problem areas. They are ideal for fine lines that resist camouflage.
Laser Hair Removal
Laser hair removal targets follicles to prevent regrowth. It permanently removes unwanted hair on the body after several treatments. Safety and results depend on an individual’s skin tone and hair color.
Spider Vein Treatment
Small purple or red veins on the legs, called spider veins, often require treatment. Causes include pregnancy, weight changes or genetics. Lasers or sclerotherapy injections can remove them. Compression stockings and elevation help prevent more from developing.
Chemical Peels
Glycolic acid peels smooth skin by removing damaged outer layers. They treat wrinkles, acne, scars and discoloration on all skin tones. After application, some tightness and stinging is normal. Sun protection is vital afterwards.
Microdermabrasion vs Dermabrasion
Microdermabrasion uses crystals to gently polish skin, making it a good choice for treating acne scars and spots on darker skin. Dermabrasion sands away skin layers and works well for deep scars on fair skin. Both stimulate new collagen. Recovery takes about 24 hours.
Sublime Skin Tightening
Sublime’s bipolar radiofrequency and light energies boost natural collagen. Multiple sessions build a cumulative effect for younger looking skin. Discomfort is minimal. All skin tones can be effectively treated.
