Why patients travel

Your Closest Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon

For West Bloomfield residents, this is effectively the local practice. The office sits on the same road — Orchard Lake Road — that runs through the township, about 12 minutes south of the lakes. What West Bloomfield patients get for that short drive is a surgeon who is dual board-certified in Plastic Surgery and General Surgery, and an operating room accredited by QUAD A.

Proximity is convenient, but it is not the reason patients choose the practice. Dr. Michelle Hardaway, M.D., F.A.C.S. has more than 20 years in practice, performs every procedure herself, and formerly served as Chief of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and Director of the Burn Center at Detroit Receiving Hospital. That reconstructive foundation informs a conservative approach to aesthetic surgery.

Being close also makes the practical side easier. Consultations, pre-operative appointments and post-operative follow-ups are all within a few minutes’ drive, which matters more during recovery than most patients expect it to.

She earned her B.S. from the University of Michigan and her M.D. from Wayne State University, giving her a foundational connection to this region that is not incidental.

She served as Former Chief of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and Director of the Burn Center at Detroit Receiving Hospital, a role that required managing some of the most complex reconstructive cases in Southeast Michigan, and currently holds an appointment as Assistant Clinical Professor of Surgery at Wayne State University. She is dual board-certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and the American Board of Surgery, and holds the F.A.C.S. designation from the American College of Surgeons.

Before you book

The Consultation, Financing, and What to Expect

Dr. Hardaway conducts thorough, private paid consultations at the Farmington Hills office, not rushed screenings. A paid consultation is required before any procedure. During the appointment she reviews your anatomy, discusses your goals, establishes realistic expectations, and builds a treatment plan tailored specifically to you.

The practice does not accept insurance. All cosmetic procedures are elective and priced transparently. CareCredit financing is available for qualified patients, and the team will walk you through the options during your consultation.

For patients considering facial rejuvenation or body contouring, the consultation is where candidacy is established, and where honest expectations replace speculation.

Questions

Frequently Asked by West Bloomfield Patients

Very close. The office is at 27920 Orchard Lake Rd, Farmington Hills, MI 48334 — on the same road that runs through West Bloomfield, about 5.2 miles and roughly 12 minutes south of Orchard Lake Village. For patients from Keego Harbor, Sylvan Lake, Walnut Lake and the Upper Straits area it is usually the nearest QUAD A accredited surgical facility with a board-certified plastic surgeon operating in it.

It is about 5.2 miles and roughly 12 minutes from Orchard Lake Village, straight down Orchard Lake Road. Because follow-up appointments are close by, recovery visits are easier to fit around work and family.

QUAD A accreditation requires the facility to meet rigorous standards for operating room equipment, emergency protocols, staff credentialing, anesthesia administration, and post-operative monitoring — standards that are independently inspected and not self-reported. At Aesthetic Plastic Surgery & Laser Center, a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA) manages anesthesia for every procedure. It is the clearest third-party signal that the facility meets ambulatory surgical center standards, not just cosmetic clinic minimums.

Dr. Hardaway’s dual board certification in both Plastic Surgery and General Surgery means she brings a level of anatomical precision to combined procedures that is uncommon among purely cosmetically trained providers. Rather than applying a standardized combination, she evaluates each patient’s tissue quality, abdominal wall integrity and breast anatomy during the paid consultation, then sequences and customizes the plan accordingly.

The SMAS — Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System — is the fibromuscular layer beneath the skin that gives the face its structural support. A skin-only or mini-lift tightens the overlying skin without addressing this deeper layer, so the result relaxes relatively quickly and can look pulled. An SMAS facelift elevates and repositions the structural layer, delivering greater longevity, more natural contour and better scar placement.

Graft viability depends on three variables: the gentleness of the harvest, the quality of purification (typically centrifugation, to isolate viable adipocytes from oil and cellular debris), and the precision of micro-droplet injection. When fat is injected in large boluses rather than micro-droplets, survival rates drop because the interior cells cannot reach a blood supply. The approach here prioritizes long-term graft survival over immediate volume that fades within months.

Revision surgery — for capsular contracture, implant malposition, or the correction of another surgeon’s work — requires a different kind of anatomical problem-solving than a primary augmentation. Dr. Hardaway’s dual board certification and reconstructive background position her to address the full spectrum of revision scenarios. During the paid consultation she reviews prior surgical records, assesses implant position and capsule integrity, and builds a correction plan using techniques such as dual-plane repositioning or total capsulectomy as indicated.
