Amazing Experience with Dr.Lakin and His Team

I always knew I wanted a rhinoplasty, but I took my time researching and meeting with several plastic surgeons in Michigan before making a decision. After reading reviews, looking through before and after photos, and watching Dr. Lakin’s videos online, I could tell how talented and passionate he is about his work. After my consultation and meeting him in person, I felt completely confident that I had found the right surgeon. Dr. Lakin truly listened to what I wanted and made me

5 Stars Aren't Enough

Words can not express how elated I am with my results. Dr. Lakin is a consummate professional. I spent 2 years reading every comment in fb groups to find the best surgeon in Michigan or if I should travel to Miami. Dr. Lakin's name came up a several times. Illuum staff is extremely professional. From the very beginning first phone call & all the way through. I had to call back with questions I didnt think of during pre op appointment, they answered my questions cheerfully.

Dr. Lakin…The Greatest in the World at Abs?

I’m 61 and very fit but never quite could get my abs to a true 6 pack level.So when I said to myself..what the hell…you only live once..why not have great abs?…I did my research. I’m in the advertising business and travel often to plastic surgery meccas like LA and Miami..so I see some of the best examples of enhancing the human physique. When I really dug into researching the best of the best at abdominal etching/lipo I found Dr. Lakin online. His transparency of sharing results

Response from Dr. Gregory Lakin, MDDear 61 Abs, thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience. Your abs have definitely popped even at the early postop time point of 1 month. As discussed, they will continue to improve over the next few months as the swelling goes down and you have the opportunity to get back to your workout routines. You have always looked fit and athletic - now with even more visible natural appearing 6-pack abs already at just 1 month postop! It was very nice working with you throughout the process. So happy this was possible for you and you got such nice early results! Please keep me posted if you have any questions in the future! Thanks again for making the trip to Illuum Cosmetic Surgery in Novi, Michigan and placing your trust in our hands! Warm regards, Dr Lakin

What an UPLIFTING Experience!

Huge thank you to Dr. Lakin and his entire surgical and nurse team and office staff who made me feel amazing during my breast lift with auto-augmentation. I had many consultations and I wanted to go with the best, most meticulous surgeon I could find. That is absolutely Dr. Lakin. My breasts look even better than I could have imagined and the care and precision that Dr. Lakin and his team showed throughout the whole process proves that he was the right choice for my procedure.

10/10 Experience

I had lipo 360 and a bbl by Dr lakin and he did an incredible job! My self confidence has increased tremendously and I’m finally at a place where I feel comfortable and confident wearing a bathing suit and tight clothing in public. I also want to say how wonderful the entire staff is at Illuum Cosmetics! They were incredible to work with and I would absolutely refer all friends and family to Dr Lakin and team.

Loved Everything Here

If you look at before-and-after photos, you will see why he has all five-star reviews. Dr. Lakin did an amazing job; I could not have asked for better. I have finally found a plastic surgeon who performs miracles. I had a tummy tuck and muscle repair done, and he removed 13 pounds of extra skin. Like I said, miracles! The whole office is great; it's an amazing environment to walk into. I'm so glad I was able to find Dr. Lakin. Thank you so much for the amazing job you did.

Amazing Results with Tummy Tuck

I had a full tummy tuck and liposuction with Doctor Lakin 4 weeks ago and I am loving my results. He has completely transformed me. His work is impeccable and I am so glad I chose him for my procedure. Doctor Lakin and his staff are absolutely amazing. They always made me feel comfortable and answered any and every question I had before and after surgery. They are professional, kind, and compassionate.

Exceptional Surgeon, and Staff.

When I began my search for a surgeon, with each search, Dr. Lakin was always in the top 10. I had narrowed my search down to a surgeon in Mexico City, Los Angeles, Calgary Alberta, Toronto Ontario, and Novi Michigan. Dr Lakins before and after photos won it for me. And then I met his staff. All very professional, and caring. Stop your search if you are looking to have work done. I am 5 days post op, I have had very little pain since waking from my surgery, my incisions are clean,

Dr. Laken Deserves Seven Stars

Where do I start? I had heard great things about Dr. Larkin’s skills and expertise, but I have to say he exceeded my expectations at every level. I had a tummy tuck procedure done with him in Jan of 2025 and I am 6 weeks out today. My journey with him and his staff has been more than five stars from the beginning to end. I had consulted with several surgeons before discovering Dr. Laken, and right from the consultation day I knew he is the one to do my surgery. Dr Laken has surgeon

Lower Body Lift After 135lb Weight Loss

I would first like to say I’m not new to plastics. I had used a previous surgeon to do many procedures and I would say 75% needed to be redone. I had lost over 135lbs and had a lot of excess skin to be lifted. I did a lot of research as the last surgery I needed was a lower butt lift. Not all surgeons do this procedure properly and the photos and reviews of Dr Lakin were impressive. I made an appointment for a consult and he took his time to explain the procedure and answered
