Dr. Lakin is a board-certified plastic surgeon operating at his AAAA-accredited surgery center and has spent years perfecting his BBLs on thousands of patients in the greater Miami (South Florida) area prior to opening Illuum Cosmetic Surgery in Novi, Michigan. He also has spent years developing the Silhouetch℠ procedure, which is his signature technique of high-definition liposuction with abdominal etching to highlight the natural physique and give you a more toned, athletic look. He individualizes your treatment to artistically sculpt your entire body, buttock, and hips. His practice is not a chop shop where you come in for 10 minutes of liposuction on the front, 10 minutes of liposuction on your back, then 10 minutes of fat transfer to maybe see a result. He pays meticulous attention to detail and will remove all of your fat in an artistic manner while at the same time adding curves in the right areas. He will discuss your goals and expectations, review your inspirational photos, and come up with a custom plan for your body. His practice is the opposite of an assembly line. You will be treated like the only patient we have, like family. He will take his time operating on you, focusing on all of the details to give you the best version of yourself. His motto is to “Put the Patients First,” and it shows from the moment of consultation, throughout your operative experience, and continues throughout your postop care. In addition, the goal of the experienced staff at Illuum Cosmetic Surgery is to provide our patients with the highest level of quality, safety, and service possible.
