I am incredibly grateful for choosing them to help me rebuild my confidence. Their support has made a significant difference in my journey. -Tania

Dr. Lakin is an incredibly talented surgeon - an artist who has excelled at his craft. I'm a little over a year since my liposuction and tummy tuck and hands down it was the best decision I have ever made. He has truly changed my life. I have confidence in my body that I never knew I could have, and am able to do things physically I never could have imagined. I would recommend him to anyone. From my first consultation to my one-year post op visit, he and his staff have been the most professional, caring, and compassionate. Especially right after surgery when you're struggling with recovery and wondering "What did I do??" they were there whenever I needed them (physically and emotionally). And for that I am forever grateful to them.

I can not express how fabulous Dr. Lakin is. Being in my late 50’s, post breastfeeding, weight fluctuations, and then losing 40+pounds my breasts were two empty sacks hanging down my front. I didn’t feel attractive anymore and I was embarrassed to be naked in front of my husband. I finally decided to look into a breast lift. Having lived in Los Angeles for 50 years I started looking for doctors there. Then as a fluke I found Dr Lakin’s site. I met with four doctors and after meeting Dr. Lakin and learning about all of his education and training, I felt he was the right doctor. I can’t believe how amazing the entire process has been. Dr. Lakin is a perfectionist and I now have the most beautiful lifted and natural looking augmented breasts I have ever seen! I smile everyday seeing my amazing breasts. Thank you Dr. Lakin and his amazing team of nurses and staff.

I chose Dr.Lakin as my surgeon based off the before and after results I found on his page. His before and after photos were the most natural looking results I could find in Michigan. After reading his reviews I then read through a few where people even flew from other states to use him as their surgeon and that’s when I knew he would be the one for me. He charges a bit more than some of the other places I consulted with but that is mostly because he takes extra times and precautions to make sure the placement of the breast implants are perfect and that everything is sterile going in you to minimize risks of capsular contracture. I went with a peri areolar incision and don’t even have a noticeable scar, you’d never know I got them done. My recovery was not bad at all, I barely took any of the pain pills they prescribed me and was fine with extra strength Tylenol. I was back to work less than a week after I got them done. I get compliments and stares everywhere I go and they have boosted my confidence so much.

I am writing this review to express my profound gratitude for Dr. Lakin, who performed a tummy tuck and lower body lift on me after an unfortunate experience with a previous surgeon in Turkey. My experience with the first surgeon was nothing short of a nightmare, leaving me with an inadequate result and what are commonly referred to as “dog ears” on both sides of my hips. This experience left me feeling disheartened and frustrated, as I had hoped for a successful transformation but was instead left with a botched procedure that did not achieve even half the desired result. Dr. Lakin stepped in to correct the mess left by the first surgeon and did an amazing job. From the moment I walked into his office, I was impressed by the professionalism and warmth of his entire team. His surgical staff made me feel at ease, and I could tell immediately that I was in capable and caring hands. Dr. Lakin's expertise and attention to detail are unparalleled; he took the time to understand my concerns and expectations, and he delivered beautifully. I cannot stress enough how important it is to choose a qualified and experienced surgeon. My experience in Turkey taught me a hard lesson: cheaper does not mean better. It’s my sincere recommendation to anyone considering surgery abroad to think critically and prioritize quality over cost. Dr. Lakin proved that investing in the best care will save you from the need for additional corrective surgeries down the line. After my procedure with Dr. Lakin, I saw a remarkable transformation. He eliminated the dog ears and excess skin, providing me with the results I had initially sought. I now feel more confident and satisfied with my body than ever before. If you are considering surgery, I urge you to reach out to Dr. Lakin. Traveling from abroad to see him would be worth every mile. His work speaks for itself; the before and after pictures tell a thousand words, and I am more than willing to share my own journey with anyone seeking reassurance about their decision. In closing, I want to emphasize how grateful I am to Dr. Lakin for restoring not just my body, but also my confidence. You deserve the best, and Dr. Lakin truly is among the best in the field. Don’t risk your health and well-being; trust in a skilled and reputable surgeon like Dr. Lakin. Thank you, Dr. Lakin, for your incredible work and dedication!
