Dr. Jessica West

Dr. Jessica West is the Medical Director for the Michigan Center for Cosmetic Services. She is known for her superior aesthetic results, strong attention to detail, artistic eye, and honest expert opinion in regards to both surgical and non-surgical cosmetic procedures. She specializes in minimally invasive and non-surgical treatments for facial rejuvenation and preventative aesthetic medicine. Patients seek her out for her exceptional credentials and consistent history of creating elegant, natural-looking results.

Dr. West believes in the power of providing her patients with a personalized approach to addressing their individual cosmetic needs. She strives to make patients feel comfortable throughout their entire aesthetic journey, by taking the time to answer questions, respond to concerns, and educate patients on all options available to achieve their best outcome. Dr. West’s philosophy towards rejuvenating cosmetic treatments: “Everyone who comes through my door is uniquely beautiful. I don’t want to drastically change anyone’s appearance. My job is to enhance their natural beauty and restore them to their former glory by turning back the hands of time. My focus is always to provide exceptional, natural and harmonious results.”

Dr. West is double board certified by the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery and by the American Board of Otolaryngology & Facial Plastic Surgery. She received the William K. Miles, MD Award for Highest Written Board Score from the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery.

During that time, she trained at several hospitals in the greater Detroit area, where she was exposed to full body cosmetic surgery and developed her passion for the field. She then decided to pursue a highly sought-after fellowship in general cosmetic surgery with Dr. Jacob Haiavy, past president of the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery, in the Greater Los Angeles area. She completed her extensive training in full body cosmetic surgery in southern California, where she was trained under some of the highest cosmetic standards in the country and learned the most up to date techniques in aesthetic surgery.
