A Sterling Heights practice. A national perspective.
Better questions for your next consultation.
Sterling Heights City Hall introduces this Michigan edition. The professional profile focuses on Dr. Ramotsumi Makhene’s listed plastic and reconstructive surgery practice and hand-surgery background at the local DMC office. Choosing a surgeon also requires a discussion of training, treatment setting, alternatives and follow-up. National cost benchmarks and the consultation notebook below can help you prepare those questions.
01 / The professional profile
A plastic surgeon with a published Sterling Heights consulting address.
Detroit Medical Center lists Dr. Ramotsumi Makhene in plastic and reconstructive surgery, with education entries including Meharry Medical College, Harlem Hospital Center and Cleveland Clinic. The linked health-plan directory lists American Board of Plastic Surgery certification. Professional biography ↗
This profile concerns a plastic and reconstructive surgeon working within an orthopedic and sports medicine practice, with a hand-surgery background. Confirm the current services at the Sterling Heights office. The separate national cosmetic statistics and fee examples are educational context, not a description of this practice’s services. Practice information ↗
Appointment detail: DMC lists its Sterling Heights office at 33703 Van Dyke Avenue, MI 48312, with telephone (586) 558-2860. Specify the Sterling Heights location when booking because the physician also has other listed offices. Published contact information ↗
Ask who will perform each part of treatment, which facility will be used and how follow-up will work. Your consultation should establish whether a proposed treatment fits your health, goals and circumstances.
An editorial profile, not a ranking, clinical assessment or claim of celebrity patients. The surgeon is not presented as the author or medical reviewer of this edition.
02 / Before you book
Four checks to make before choosing a date or paying a deposit.
Use the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs’s physician profile search for licensure and the ABPS verification service for plastic surgery board certification. These checks answer different questions.
Michigan physician lookup ↗Ask about expected changes, limitations, alternatives and the important risks for you. Bring your medical history and a list of medicines and supplements; discuss them with the treating team.
ASPS patient safety ↗Ask where the procedure will take place, who provides anesthesia and how the team responds to complications. The consulting address may differ from the surgical facility.
Verify ABPS certification ↗Request written recovery instructions, scheduled follow-up and an urgent contact. If you are traveling to Sterling Heights, ask how long to stay locally and when travel is appropriate.
Preparation & safety resources ↗The consultation mindset
Describe the concern in your own words. Ask what the proposed approach would change, what it would leave unchanged and whether postponing treatment or doing nothing is a reasonable option. Use reference photographs to explain a preference, without treating another person’s result as a promise. Prepare your consultation →
03 / Procedure conversations

04 / Understanding costs
Separate national cosmetic context. These ASPS benchmarks are not this practice’s quotes or a list of services offered by the featured clinician.
| Procedure | Published average | Source and scope |
|---|---|---|
| Breast augmentation with implants | $4,875 | Implant-based augmentation · ASPS ↗ |
| Breast lift | $6,816 | Mastopexy · ASPS ↗ |

| Upper eyelid surgery | $3,359 | Upper blepharoplasty · ASPS ↗ |
| Facelift | $11,395 | Facelift · ASPS ↗ |
These published averages do not establish the price of a particular surgeon, location or individual case. Fees may change. Ask the practice for surgeon, facility, anesthesia, implant or device, aftercare and revision terms in writing. The table’s source year is separate from the 2025 procedure-count charts below.
Start with your personal written estimate, then check what is included before adding amounts to the worksheet. Do not count an anesthesia or facility charge twice if it is already included in a package. Ask whether consultation, prescriptions, garments and follow-up are extra. Read the CPS U.S. cost guide →
Ask DMC Orthopedics & Sports Medicine whether there is a consultation fee, how any deposit is applied and which charges are included in your written estimate. No clinic-specific treatment price is asserted here.
05 / The consultation notebook
Two simple planning tools for your Sterling Heights, MI consultation. Use them to organize a discussion and a written quote with your treating team.
Prepare your conversation
Tick a topic once you have a clear answer. Bring any unanswered questions to your clinician.
A discussion aid, not a medical assessment. No answers or personal health details are collected.
Read the whole quote
Enter amounts from your own quote or estimates. Every field starts empty; this worksheet does not suggest prices.
Confirm whether each amount includes taxes. This tool does not add taxes, estimate rebates or fill in missing costs. Enter a fee once; if a package already includes a category, avoid counting it twice.
Blank fields are unknown, not free. An entered subtotal is not a complete treatment quote. Ask what follow-up, revisions or unexpected care may cost.
Use non-negative amounts up to USD 1,000,000 per field, with no more than two decimal places. Figures and ticks remain only in this open page; nothing is sent or saved by these tools.
06 / The national perspective
ASPS 2025 statistics. U.S. national estimates provide context; they are not Sterling Heights procedure counts.
U.S. national estimates · number of procedures, 2025
Cosmetic surgery · % change, 2025 vs revised 2024
Source: ASPS 2025 report, printed page 9; methodology, page 40. These are statistically projected U.S. procedure counts based on data representing more than 3,000 board-certified surgeons. They are not unique-patient counts, Sterling Heights volumes or a measure of Dr. Makhene’s work or outcomes. ¹Breast augmentation includes primary and revision implant placement. The charts use different units and scales; growth uses the revised 2024 figures in the same report. Source: ASPS statistical report ↗

After your visit
Keep the treating team’s written instructions and urgent contact details. Confirm how concerns are handled after hours. The magazine’s enquiry channel is for editorial matters and cannot provide clinical follow-up.
