Body Contouring Procedures
Liposuction Plastic Surgery
Targeted fat removal for stubborn areas resistant to diet and exercise.
Before & After Liposuction Gallery
These are real patients from Metro Detroit who chose targeted liposuction to address areas that wouldn’t respond to diet and exercise alone. From chin refinement that redefines your profile to back and abdominal contouring that restores proportion, Dr. Hardaway’s approach delivers natural-looking results—often visible within weeks. Every procedure is customized to your anatomy, your goals, and your timeline.
Before & After Tummy Tuck Gallery
Pregnancy changes your body in ways that diet and exercise can’t reverse—separated abdominal muscles, deflated breasts, stubborn fat deposits. A mommy makeover addresses it all in a single procedure, combining breast restoration (lift, augmentation, or both) with abdominal contouring and targeted liposuction. These Metro Detroit mothers chose to restore their pre-pregnancy confidence without sacrificing multiple recovery periods. Dr. Hardaway’s approach delivers natural, proportionate results that honor the body you have now while giving you back the silhouette you remember.

Mommy Makeover Michigan

Before & After Brazilian Butt Lift Gallery
A Brazilian Butt Lift doesn’t just add volume—it reshapes your entire silhouette. By removing unwanted fat from areas like the abdomen, flanks, and back, then strategically transferring it to enhance and lift your buttocks, Dr. Hardaway creates balanced, natural-looking curves that complement your frame. These Metro Detroit patients sought fuller, more proportionate figures without implants. From early results at 8 weeks to refined outcomes months later, these transformations show how precision fat transfer delivers lasting shape and symmetry.
Brazilian Butt Lift – BBL
Natural buttock enhancement using your own fat for beautiful, lasting curves.
Body Lift Surgery
Comprehensive contouring for post-weight-loss patients addressing excess skin across multiple areas.
Before & After Body Lift Gallery
Losing significant weight is an incredible achievement—but loose, sagging skin can prevent you from fully enjoying your transformation. A body lift removes excess skin and tightens underlying tissues across the abdomen, flanks, back, and pubic area, restoring comfort, mobility, and confidence. These patients worked hard to lose the weight; Dr. Hardaway helped them complete the journey with results that finally match their effort.
Before & After Panniculectomy Gallery
A panniculectomy removes the apron of excess skin and tissue that hangs over the lower abdomen—often the result of significant weight loss, pregnancy, or genetics. Unlike a tummy tuck, this procedure focuses on eliminating discomfort, rashes, and mobility limitations caused by the pannus. When combined with liposuction, Dr. Hardaway refines surrounding contours for a smoother, more functional result. These patients regained not just a better silhouette, but relief from daily physical challenges.

Real Results for Oakland County Patients
Dr. Hardaway’s practice has become a destination for patients throughout Oakland County seeking natural-looking body sculpting results. Recently, we treated a patient from the West Bloomfield area who, despite maintaining an active lifestyle and healthy diet, struggled with persistent abdominal laxity and separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti) following two pregnancies. After a thorough consultation at our Orchard Lake Road office, Dr. Hardaway performed a customized abdominoplasty that not only restored a flat, functional core but also addressed the patient’s concerns about maintaining a natural appearance that complemented her frame.
Another patient, a corporate professional working near the Farmington Hills business district, sought a solution for stubborn flank fat that wouldn’t respond to regular workouts at local gyms. Understanding the need for minimal disruption to a demanding work schedule, Dr. Hardaway recommended Vaser liposuction—a gentler, ultrasound-assisted technique that allowed for a faster recovery while achieving smooth, proportionate contouring.
Understanding Michigan’s Body Contouring Regulations
Michigan maintains rigorous standards for cosmetic surgery facilities and practitioners. Dr. Hardaway’s AAAASF accredited surgical suite adheres to all state and federal guidelines, including requirements set forth by the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA) for ambulatory surgical facilities. Our use of board-certified anesthesiologists, adherence to infection control protocols, and compliance with Michigan’s informed consent laws ensure that your safety is never compromised—standards that are often absent in non-accredited med-spa settings.
Frequently Asked Questions about Body Contouring in Farmington Hills
Is body contouring a weight loss solution?
No. Body contouring is a shaping procedure, not a weight loss method. The ideal candidate is already near their target weight—often someone who works out regularly at local gyms like Lifetime Fitness or Equinox—but has stubborn pockets of fat or loose skin that won’t respond to diet and exercise. If you have a BMI over 30, Dr. Hardaway may recommend a weight management plan prior to surgery to ensure the safest, most effective results.
How long is the recovery for a tummy tuck in Farmington Hills?
Most patients take approximately 2 weeks off work for initial recovery. However, if you work a desk job in the Farmington Hills corporate corridor, you may be able to return sooner with activity modifications (no heavy lifting, limited bending). Full activity—including intense cardio, heavy lifting, and high-impact exercise—typically resumes after 6 weeks. Dr. Hardaway provides personalized recovery timelines based on your procedure and lifestyle needs.
What is the difference between CoolSculpting and liposuction?
CoolSculpting is a non-invasive treatment with no downtime, but offers subtle, gradual results (typically 20-25% fat reduction in the treated area over 8-12 weeks). Liposuction is a surgical procedure that requires a few days of recovery but offers immediate, dramatic reshaping and can address larger volumes of fat. Dr. Hardaway will help you decide which approach—or combination of treatments—best fits your goals, anatomy, and schedule during your consultation.
Does Dr. Hardaway perform body contouring for men?
Absolutely. Dr. Hardaway has extensive experience with male body contouring, including gynecomastia correction, abdominal etching, and liposuction tailored to male anatomy and aesthetic goals.
