Giving patients confidence
Illume MedSpa Team
As Milwaukee area’s largest cosmetic surgery and medspa practice, we offer the widest scope of treatment options and are able to utilize advanced technologies that are often out of reach for smaller practices. Our registered nurse injectors, licensed aestheticians, and lash technicians will recommend the best treatments and professional products to target your specific needs and give you the best results. Our Milwaukee and Waukesha Medspas are directed by our Board Certified Plastic Surgeons at Illume Cosmetic Surgery, who are on-site at all times.
Our Mission: Treat patients with the ultimate level of excellence in service and comprehensive care providing cosmetic and reconstructive outcomes that empower people with confidence and improve their quality of life.
Illume Cosmetic Surgery & MedSpa is founded by Milwaukee Plastic Surgeons Drs. Mark Blake, Thomas Korkos and Christopher Hussussian. The merger of practices provides an opportunity for our patients to see some of the Top Plastic Surgeons in the Milwaukee region at two office and two in-house ambulatory surgical locations in Glendale and Waukesha.

MORE ABOUT OUR MERGER
The new practice boasts two fully credentialed surgery centers and complete Medi-spas that feature aesthetic services, laser and light therapy, BOTOX Cosmetic, dermal fillers and more.
The size of the new group is one of the 25 largest Allergan BOTOX injectors in the country, and provides better pricing to patients and increased access for visits close to home. “We want to set the bar for the practice of cosmetic medicine in Milwaukee and make sure patients are seeing reputable and capable surgeons in modern and fully equipped facilities,” says Dr. Korkos.
Dr. Hussussian agrees, “Our merger allows both offices to provide their patients more convenience while maintaining the highest level of care and providing the best outcome possible. Our staff is dedicated to providing you with excellent care and friendly service in a confidential atmosphere. We pride ourselves on combining a professional consultation with realistic expectations of the changes that you would like to make to your appearance.
CERTIFIED SURGERY CENTERS
The American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery Facilities (AAAASF), the Accreditation on Association for Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC), and Medicare (CMS) all certify our centers according to rigorous national requirements on safety, emergency preparedness, staff credentials, and more. By obtaining and adhering to these standards, you can be assured you are having your procedure done at a surgical center that is qualified and capable.
CHOOSING A PLASTIC SURGEON
“Went to their Waukesha office and had a wonderful experience. The esthetician was so kind and guided me towards the service that was best for my skin, not just the most expensive option. I felt like she really wanted what was best for me.”
– Rebecca A.
“Highly highly recommend seeing Dr. Blake for any consultation! I have only had great experiences with him! He is a board certified plastic surgeon to say the least, highly intelligent, patient, very picky (I felt as though he was a perfectionist) and SO approachable. Overall, this clinic has such a caring staff and are very professional! 10/10.”
– Allison
“I had an amazing experience with Dr Hussussian. My results are exactly what we discussed. The consults, plastic surgery and follow-ups have all been 5 star. He is warm, friendly, professional and I highly recommend him.”
– Diane P.
