Whether you’re preparing for an evening at Meadowbrook Country Club, strolling through historic Downtown Northville, or maintaining your active lifestyle around Maybury State Park, you deserve to feel like the most confident version of yourself—without looking “overdone” or “pulled.”At Aesthetic Plastic Surgery & Laser Center, Dr. Michelle Hardaway, M.D., F.A.C.S., offers what Northville residents in the 48167 and 48168 zip codes value most: conservative, natural-looking results delivered by a board-certified plastic surgeon with over 20 years of experience. Our Farmington Hills surgical center is a short, convenient drive from Northville via the I-275/M-5 corridor—and patients consistently tell us the quality of care is worth every mile.
Proudly Serving Northville Residents from Steeplechase, Stonewater, and Historic Downtown Northville
We understand the unique demands of life in Northville. From the affluent, established neighborhoods of Steeplechase and Stonewater to the charming walkability of Mill Race Historical Village, our patients lead active, visible lifestyles. You’re attending fundraisers, entertaining clients, and moving through a visible, active social life daily—and you want results that look effortlessly refreshed, never artificial.
Dr. Hardaway also knows that the harsh freeze-thaw cycles of Southeast Michigan winters accelerate volume loss and skin dehydration in ways that diet, exercise, and even premium skincare cannot reverse. When radiofrequency treatments and injectables stop delivering the results you need, surgical intervention becomes the gold standard for lasting facial harmony and body confidence.

Easy highway access: A straight shot via I-275 and M-5—typically 12-15 minutes from central Northville

Why Dr. Michelle Hardaway is Worth the Short Drive from Northville
Local Convenience vs. Specialized Expertise
Northville has excellent healthcare providers, but when it comes to aesthetic plastic surgery—procedures that require deep anatomical knowledge, meticulous surgical technique, and a conservative approach to natural results—specialization matters.
Here’s what sets Dr. Hardaway apart from generalist practices:
1. Over 20 Years of Board-Certified Surgical Expertise
Dr. Hardaway is a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons (F.A.C.S.), board-certified in both Plastic Surgery and General Surgery, with additional fellowship training in burn reconstruction. This rigorous background gives her an unmatched understanding of complex wound healing, tissue biomechanics, and surgical precision.
2. Conservative, Natural-Looking Philosophy
We’ve never pushed unnecessary procedures. Dr. Hardaway’s approach is built on enhancing—not changing—your unique anatomy. If you’ve ever worried about looking “plastic” or “windblown,” you’ll appreciate her focus on structural, deep-layer techniques (like SMAS facelift manipulation) rather than aggressive skin-pulling.
3. Personalized Treatment Plans, Not Assembly-Line Care
Every consultation is paid and appointment-based to ensure you receive dedicated time and a personalized plan. Dr. Hardaway conducts thorough medical history reviews, physical exams, and candid discussions about recovery timelines, safety protocols, and realistic expectations. You’ll never feel rushed.
4. State-of-the-Art, Private Surgical Center
Our Farmington Hills facility is a QUAD A-accredited surgical center with onsite operating rooms and a dedicated CRNA team. This isn’t a multi-specialty clinic where you’re one of dozens—this is a boutique practice designed exclusively for aesthetic surgery and advanced skin rejuvenation.
5. Financing Options for Qualified Patients
We offer financing through CareCredit with no upfront costs, no prepayment penalties, and no annual fees, making transformative care accessible to discerning patients who prioritize quality over proximity.

COMPREHENSIVE SURGICAL & NON-SURGICAL SERVICES
Advanced Body Contouring for the Active Northville Lifestyle
For residents who value physical comfort and natural-looking contours, our surgical body procedures are designed with advanced biomechanics in mind.
Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck) & Mommy Makeovers
Pregnancy and weight fluctuations change your body in ways that diet and exercise cannot fix. Dr. Hardaway goes beyond simply removing excess skin—she performs meticulous muscle wall repair to restore core strength and function. We carefully stage Mommy Makeovers according to strict safety protocols, ensuring your recovery timeline is predictable and manageable.
High-Definition Liposuction
Our advanced liposuction techniques prioritize preservation of the Superficial Fascial System (SFS), the connective tissue matrix that supports skin elasticity. By maintaining this layer during fat removal, we prevent post-procedure laxity and ensure smooth, natural-looking contour retraction that complements your frame.
Breast Augmentation, Lift & Reduction
Dr. Hardaway takes the time to understand your anatomy and lifestyle goals. Whether you’re seeking breast augmentation with precise implant pocket selection (submuscular vs. subglandular placement to minimize capsular contracture risk), a breast lift (mastopexy) to restore youthful profile elevation, or a breast reduction for physical comfort, every plan is tailored specifically to your proportions.
Facial Rejuvenation: Defying the Harsh Michigan Climate
The extreme freeze-thaw cycles of Southeast Michigan winters accelerate facial volume loss and skin laxity. When non-surgical interventions stop delivering results, surgical rejuvenation becomes the gold standard.
SMAS Facelift (Rhytidectomy)
The secret to avoiding a “windblown” or overdone appearance? Deep anatomical manipulation. Dr. Hardaway addresses the Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System (SMAS) layer beneath the skin, creating structural support that lasts for years. This approach ensures your results look entirely natural and discreet—never “pulled.”
Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery)
Whether you need upper eyelid surgery for functional vision improvement or lower blepharoplasty to address under-eye bags, Dr. Hardaway places incisions discreetly so scars fade beautifully. The goal is always a refreshed, alert appearance—not a drastically altered look.
Rhinoplasty
Dr. Hardaway utilizes advanced structural grafting techniques to refine nasal contours while preserving airway function. If you’ve ever worried about breathing complications after rhinoplasty, her dual board-certification in General Surgery and Plastic Surgery ensures both aesthetic harmony and functional integrity.
Non-Surgical & Minimally Invasive Treatments
Not every aesthetic goal requires surgery. Our spa-like facility offers a full spectrum of advanced, minimally invasive treatments to combat the dry Michigan air and restore your youthful glow:
Injectable Neurotoxins & Dermal Fillers
To address dynamic wrinkles and volume loss.
Radiofrequency Skin Tightening
To stimulate collagen remodeling.
Micro-needling & Chemical Peels
To improve skin texture and tone.
Advanced Laser Treatments
For pigmentation correction and resurfacing.
