At Aesthetic Plastic Surgery & Laser Center, Dr. Michelle Hardaway employs advanced liposuction techniques to sculpt and refine body contours with precision and artistry. As a board-certified plastic surgeon with over three decades of experience, she understands that successful liposuction requires both technical skill and an aesthetic eye for proportion and balance.

Liposuction effectively removes stubborn fat deposits that resist diet and exercise, creating smoother, more defined contours in areas such as the abdomen, flanks, thighs, arms, and neck. Dr. Hardaway’s approach focuses not simply on fat removal but on body sculpting—strategically removing fat to enhance your natural proportions and create harmonious results.

The procedure begins with a comprehensive consultation where Dr. Hardaway assesses your anatomy and discusses your aesthetic goals. This personalized planning ensures that your liposuction procedure addresses your specific concerns while creating natural-looking results that complement your overall body shape.

Dr. Hardaway’s expertise includes various advanced liposuction techniques, allowing her to select the approach best suited to your unique needs. These techniques minimize trauma to surrounding tissues, reducing recovery time and optimizing results. Most patients can return to work within a few days and resume normal activities within 2-3 weeks, with final results becoming apparent as swelling subsides over several months.

Tummy tuck surgery (abdominoplasty) at Aesthetic Plastic Surgery & Laser Center addresses the common concern of excess abdominal skin and weakened muscles that often result from pregnancy, significant weight loss, or aging. Dr. Hardaway customizes each procedure to create a firmer, more defined midsection that looks natural and proportionate to your overall body shape.

During your consultation, Dr. Hardaway will evaluate your abdominal area and discuss your specific concerns. She offers several tummy tuck variations, from mini-abdominoplasty for concerns limited to the lower abdomen to full abdominoplasty that addresses the entire abdominal area. This range of options ensures that your surgery is precisely tailored to your needs.

The procedure typically involves removing excess skin, tightening weakened or separated abdominal muscles, and eliminating stubborn fat deposits. Dr. Hardaway places incisions strategically to minimize visible scarring, typically positioning them low enough to be concealed by underwear or swimwear. Her meticulous surgical technique ensures optimal healing and aesthetic results.

Recovery involves wearing a compression garment to reduce swelling and support your new contours as you heal. While recovery requires patience, patients consistently report that the results—a flatter, firmer abdomen and improved waistline—significantly enhance their confidence and quality of life. Many find that they can wear clothing styles previously avoided and enjoy activities without the physical and emotional discomfort of excess abdominal skin.

The Mommy Makeover at Aesthetic Plastic Surgery & Laser Center offers a customized combination of procedures designed specifically to address the physical changes that occur from pregnancy and breastfeeding. Dr. Hardaway understands that each woman’s body responds differently to motherhood, and she tailors each Mommy Makeover to address the individual patient’s unique concerns.

This comprehensive approach typically combines tummy tuck surgery to address abdominal changes, breast surgery to restore volume and position, and liposuction to refine body contours. During your consultation, Dr. Hardaway will discuss your specific concerns and goals, helping you determine which procedures will provide the best results for your body.

The procedures can be performed together or staged over time, depending on what’s safest and most appropriate for your situation. Dr. Hardaway’s surgical expertise allows her to combine procedures efficiently when appropriate, reducing overall recovery time while maintaining the highest standards of safety and results.

Recovery from a Mommy Makeover varies based on the specific procedures performed, but typically requires 2-3 weeks before returning to normal activities. Dr. Hardaway and her team provide comprehensive pre-operative guidance and post-operative support to ensure your comfort and optimal healing. Many patients report that their Mommy Makeover not only restored their pre-pregnancy figure but also renewed their confidence and improved their quality of life.

The Brazilian Butt Lift at Aesthetic Plastic Surgery & Laser Center uses your own fat to create fuller, more shapely buttocks and a more balanced silhouette. This innovative procedure combines the benefits of liposuction with fat transfer techniques to enhance your curves naturally, without implants.

The procedure begins with liposuction to harvest fat from areas where you have excess, such as the abdomen, flanks, or thighs. This step provides the added benefit of contouring these donor areas. Dr. Hardaway then carefully processes the harvested fat to isolate healthy fat cells before precisely injecting them into specific areas of the buttocks to create the desired shape and projection.

Dr. Hardaway’s approach focuses on creating results that look and feel natural while complementing your overall body proportions. During your consultation, she’ll discuss your aesthetic goals and evaluate your anatomy to determine if you have sufficient fat stores for the procedure and develop a customized surgical plan.

Recovery involves wearing a compression garment and avoiding sitting directly on your buttocks for a period to ensure optimal fat survival. While some of the transferred fat will naturally be reabsorbed by your body, the fat cells that establish a blood supply will remain permanently, providing long-lasting enhancement. Most patients can return to work within 1-2 weeks and resume normal activities, including exercise, within 4-6 weeks.

For patients who have achieved significant weight loss through bariatric surgery or lifestyle changes, excess skin can prevent them from fully enjoying their transformation. Body lift surgery at Aesthetic Plastic Surgery & Laser Center addresses this concern by removing redundant skin while tightening underlying tissues to reveal the slimmer contours you’ve worked so hard to achieve.

Dr. Hardaway’s comprehensive approach can address multiple areas in a single procedure or staged surgeries, depending on your specific needs and safety considerations. During your consultation, she will assess your concerns and develop a customized surgical plan that may include abdominoplasty, lateral thigh lift, buttock lift, and additional procedures as needed.

The surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia, with procedures strategically planned to minimize scarring while maximizing results. Dr. Hardaway places incisions in locations that can be concealed by clothing whenever possible, though some visible scarring is an inevitable part of body lift surgery.

Recovery involves wearing compression garments to reduce swelling and support your new contours as you heal. While recovery requires patience, patients consistently report that the results—a body that better reflects their healthier weight—are well worth the investment. Many experience not only improved appearance but also enhanced comfort, mobility, and quality of life after healing is complete.

Aesthetic Plastic Surgery & Laser Center offers specialized body contouring procedures designed specifically for men who want to enhance their masculine physique. Dr. Hardaway understands that men have unique anatomical considerations and aesthetic goals, and she tailors her surgical approach accordingly.

Male body contouring procedures focus on creating or restoring defined, athletic-looking contours. Liposuction targets stubborn fat deposits that are resistant to diet and exercise, particularly in areas like the abdomen, flanks (love handles), and chest. For men with excess breast tissue (gynecomastia), Dr. Hardaway performs specialized surgery to create a flatter, more masculine chest contour.

During your consultation, Dr. Hardaway will discuss your specific concerns and goals, creating a treatment plan tailored to your unique anatomy and desired outcome. She takes time to understand the look you want to achieve—whether it’s a more defined jawline, a flatter abdomen, or improved chest contours—and develops a surgical approach to meet those goals.

Many male patients appreciate Dr. Hardaway’s straightforward approach and attention to creating results that appear natural rather than obviously “worked on.” Recovery times vary by procedure, with most patients returning to work within 1-2 weeks and resuming full activities, including exercise, within 4-6 weeks. The result is a more defined, masculine physique that helps you look as fit and vital as you feel.
