Illume Cosmetic Surgery & Medspa
Dr. Kayla E. Adkins

Dr. Kayla Adkins is a board-eligible plastic surgeon and fellowship-trained microsurgeon, proud to return to her home state of Wisconsin to join the team at Illume.
She provides comprehensive care in general plastic and aesthetic surgery of the face and body, with advanced expertise in microvascular reconstruction for patients with cancer, trauma, and complex wounds.
A native of Auburndale, Wisconsin, Dr. Adkins’ early exposure to construction and natural eye for artistry sparked a lifelong appreciation for craftsmanship and detail. She combined this creative foundation with a passion for the biological sciences while earning both her undergraduate and medical degrees from the University of Wisconsin, graduating with honors in research for her work in wound healing modulation.
She completed a six-year integrated residency in plastic and reconstructive surgery at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Montefiore Medical Center in New York City, which included distinctive training in cosmetic surgery with premier aesthetic surgeons known for shaping the standards of beauty in New York and beyond. She then completed a specialized fellowship in microvascular reconstructive surgery with the renowned team of reconstructive surgeons at the prestigious University of Pennsylvania.
Dr. Adkins has dedicated her career to training at the highest level in plastic surgery with the goal of offering expert technical skill, cutting-edge surgical technique, and comprehensive surgical care to the patients of the community that she calls home. She believes that aesthetic and reconstructive principles are deeply interconnected – each enhancing the other – and that truly exceptional care can be delivered with both clinical excellence and a neighborly touch.

There is no fee for medspa consultations, including Botox, filler, and skincare. There is also no fee for any weight loss consultations.

This $100 is fully refundable if the appointment is cancelled or rescheduled with at least a 24-hour notice. Your $100 deposit can be applied towards the cost of your surgical procedure provided that surgery is scheduled within 6 months from the time of the consultation. Surgery beyond 6 months from the time of the initial consultation or for procedures not discussed in the original consultation would require another consultation and a $100 deposit.

More About Illume Cosmetic Surgery & Medspa
About Illume Cosmetic Surgery & Medspa
Illume Cosmetic Surgery & MedSpa was founded by local Milwaukee Plastic Surgeons Drs. Mark F. Blake, Thomas G. Korkos, and Christopher J. Hussussian in 2019. The merger of the two local practices provided an opportunity for our patients to see some of the top plastic surgeons in the Milwaukee region and have the widest scope of treatment options available.
Since the merger, we have grown to become the Milwaukee area’s largest cosmetic surgery and medspa practice, with offices in Franklin, Milwaukee, and Waukesha. We are also this market’s only cosmetic surgery practice equipped with three operating rooms. Our Waukesha clinic features a Medicare-certified operating room, and our Milwaukee clinic provides two operating rooms for added convenience for our patients. Whether our patients are at our in-house surgical suites, clinic rooms, or physician-supervised medpas, we are able to offer them the highest quality of care and the utmost comfort and privacy.
Our mission is to 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.
