Why patients travel
Why Northville Residents Make the 12-Minute Drive
Whether your week includes an evening at Meadowbrook Country Club, a walk through historic Downtown Northville or time outdoors around Maybury State Park, you can look refreshed without looking overdone or pulled. Patients from the 48167 and 48168 zip codes come to Aesthetic Plastic Surgery & Laser Center for conservative, natural-looking results from Dr. Michelle Hardaway, M.D., F.A.C.S., a board-certified plastic surgeon with over 20 years of experience.
Steeplechase, Stonewater and historic Downtown Northville
From established neighborhoods like Steeplechase and Stonewater to the walkable streets around Mill Race Historical Village, Northville patients lead active, visible lives. Fundraisers, client dinners and a busy social calendar mean they want results that look effortlessly refreshed, never artificial.
Dr. Hardaway also sees how Southeast Michigan’s freeze-thaw winters speed up volume loss and skin dehydration in ways diet, exercise and premium skincare cannot reverse. When radiofrequency treatments and injectables stop giving the result a patient wants, surgery becomes a reasonable option to discuss at consultation.
Why Northville patients choose the Farmington Hills office
- Easy highway access — a direct route via I-275 and M-5, typically 12 to 15 minutes from central Northville.
- Free parking — ample spaces directly in front of the private entrance.
- A private, spa-like setting — no corporate waiting rooms or assembly-line consultations.
- An onsite surgical center — QUAD A accredited, with a dedicated Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA) team.

Your surgeon
Meet Dr. Michelle Hardaway
Dr. Hardaway is a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons (F.A.C.S.) and board-certified in both Plastic Surgery and General Surgery, with additional fellowship training in burn reconstruction. That background gives her close familiarity with complex wound healing, tissue biomechanics and precise surgical technique.
Her philosophy is conservative. She works to enhance your own anatomy, favors structural, deep-layer techniques such as SMAS manipulation over aggressive skin pulling, and has never pushed procedures a patient does not need.
