Plastic Surgeon Near Troy

“Board-certified plastic surgeon” means certification by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, which requires an accredited plastic surgery residency, written and oral board examinations, and ongoing continuing medical education. “Cosmetic surgeon” is not a protected title and has no equivalent training pathway. Abdominoplasty with diastasis recti repair involves structural muscle repair, so formal plastic surgery training matters; Dr. Hardaway is board-certified in Plastic Surgery and General Surgery and a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons.

QUAD A accreditation mandates documented emergency protocols, regular third-party facility inspections, credentialed surgical and anesthesia staff, and verified equipment standards. Non-accredited outpatient offices in Oakland County are not subject to these requirements, so the standard of care can vary significantly from one facility to the next.

From the Somerset Collection area, the drive to 27920 Orchard Lake Rd, Farmington Hills, MI 48334 takes approximately 15 to 20 minutes via I-75 South. Patients from Sylvan Glen and the West Long Lake / Crooks Road corridor typically find the commute straightforward.

A paid consultation is a clinical evaluation. Dr. Hardaway reviews your medical history, examines your anatomy, discusses realistic expectations and develops a customized treatment plan, and that takes more time than a complimentary 15-minute visit allows. Every patient receives a thorough, personalized assessment instead of a general overview of procedures.

The question is whether the laxity is mainly a skin problem or a structural one. A midline bulge, or a gap you can feel between the abdominal muscles when you contract your core, likely points to diastasis recti, which no external device can repair; skin-tightening treatments reach superficial skin layers only. At your paid consultation Dr. Hardaway evaluates your anatomy and explains what surgical and non-surgical options can and cannot achieve for you.

A Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist manages your anesthesia from pre-operative preparation through the recovery room, monitoring blood pressure, oxygenation, anesthetic depth and fluid balance. Patients who receive carefully titrated anesthesia from a dedicated CRNA typically experience less nausea, more stable hemodynamics during recovery and a smoother transition out of anesthesia than patients given twilight sedation by non-anesthesia staff.

Yes. Revision surgery, including correction of capsular contracture after breast augmentation and revision of previous body contouring results, is part of the practice’s scope. Revision cases call for a particularly thorough paid consultation, because the approach must account for existing scar tissue, altered anatomy and the original technique. Bring any prior operative reports or implant records to your first appointment.
