Gregory Lakin, MD

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.

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.

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, and I am ecstatic with my results. I took pain meds for 2 days only!! He is such a gentle surgeon, and truly cares about your goals after surgery. I cannot say enough good things about the entire experience.

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 qualities that makes any patient feel comfortable and confident to do a procedure with him. He was realistic with his explanations and I loved his demeanor. I highly recommend that you at least schedule a consultation with him and I know you will leave with a solid decision after that. The staff are superb and professional, every single one of them. They make your experience more pleasant and smooth. If I could give seven stars, I would. I will be going back soon for my breast lift procedure with Dr. Laken.
Thank you Dr. Laken for helping me achieve this milestone in my aesthetic journey.
Best,

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 all my questions above and beyond my expectations. I scheduled to have it done.

The morning of surgery he put me at ease as he drew all his lines so incredibly like an artist to canvas. His staff were so attentive also. One thing is he is a perfectionist and takes multiple pictures. I am so glad as I cannot believe the results. The suture likes were so thin and I had zero bruises. That alone was unbelievable.

I am 3 months post op and I couldn’t be more pleased. I will be scheduling to have my revision done this year of my inner thigh. Thank you Dr. Lakin and staff. I give you above 5 stars!!

I had a great experience with Dr. Lakin. I have a smaller frame at 5’6 and 100 pounds. I wanted to increase my breast size significantly but get natural results with a slightly augmented look. I trusted him to select my size and profile and I am so happy with the results! Recovery was a breeze I got off the medication quickly and was able to drive in less than a week!

After losing weight, I had a lot of extra skin. Dr Lakin performed Lipo & brachioplasty surgery on me to remove the excess from my upper arms. I was immediately at ease and comfortable upon meeting him for my consultation. He has great bedside manner & his team has been amazing. I am so thrilled with my results. Definitely will be recommending him to all my friends & family & be going to see him again myself for any future procedures.

Amazing experience from initial consult to post surgical. I am still swollen, but my results are amazing! Even 2 month post op I could not be happier with my results. My lymphatic masseuse said its the best works she's seen.

Dr. Lakin and the entire staff at Illuum immediately made me feel safe and confident in my decision to get the procedure done I had been wanting! Dr. Lakin’s precision and attention to detail is incredible, what he does is truly an art form. Not only am I so happy with the way I look after surgery, but how I FEEL above all! I received a TT with hernia + muscle repair and I feel SO strong in my core again, it’s honestly been emotional in the best way after having 3 sweet boys. I feel like my workouts are actually effective again, and I can lift my disabled youngest + medical equipment without feeling like a noodle. Thank you thank you thank you, Dr. Lakin!

Dr. Lakin is by far the best! I had an upper eye blepharoplasty and a tummy tuck and I was extremely happy with the results of both procedures. He is very passionate about what he does and shows it in how meticulous he is. I felt comfortable with him right from the very start and his staff is beyond amazing in making you feel right at home. They treat you like family there! My experience was the best and I will definitely go back to him for any other procedures I decide to have in the future. His 5 star ratings are no joke!
