From the reviews

I don't know Dr. Lakin in his current role so I don't feel qualified to speak on it. However in 2014 at University Hospital in Cleveland Ohio this man rebuilt my 1 year old son's entire skull in a grueling 10-12 hour surgery and forever, whether either of them knows it or not, changed my son's life.

★★★★★ — Ray, Jul 2021

I cannot recommend Dr. Lakin and his exceptional team highly enough! As a Canadian traveling to Novi, Michigan for surgery, I was initially quite nervous. However, the in-person consultation with Dr. Lakin upon my arrival was instrumental in alleviating all my anxieties.

★★★★★ — Lee, Aug 2024

Dr. Lakin and his staff are professional, efficient, kind and supportive. Any and all concerns and questions were addressed. Every step of the way during the procedure they communicated with me. Dr. Lakin gave me my confidence back and truly changed my life.

★★★★★ — Brenda, Aug 2021

I am so happy with my procedure! Dr. Lakin is phenomenal and truly knows what he is doing! I love the atmosphere and the way the entire staff makes you feel like you belong. Dr. Lakin is down to earth and kept my nerves calm as I went through my mini tummy tuck and lipo (awake).

Researching a tummy tuck?

A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) is major surgery with real risks and a recovery that usually runs several weeks — this page is a starting point for finding a surgeon, not medical advice. The most useful next step is a consultation, where a surgeon reviews your health history, examines you, talks through your options, and gives a personal quote. Bring questions and don't rush the decision.

Questions worth asking: Are you board-certified in plastic surgery (and can I verify it)? Where would you operate, and is the facility accredited? Can I see before-and-after photos of your own patients? What are the risks and the realistic recovery timeline for me? What's your revision policy if something needs adjusting? Whatever a listing says, always verify certification directly with the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS) at abplasticsurgery.org, and discuss your candidacy, risks, and recovery with the surgeon.
