Five years ago, two of Milwaukee’s most well-known cosmetic surgery clinics came together to form Illume Cosmetic Surgery & MedSpa, merging their expertise, experience, and passion to create the largest and longest-serving cosmetic surgery practice in the area. This pivotal moment marked the beginning of a new chapter in delivering exceptional care, and we are proud to reflect on our journey of growth, success, and advancements since that merger.
From Two Clinics to the Largest Cosmetic Surgery Practice in Milwaukee
In 2019, Dr. Mark F. Blake, Dr. Christopher J. Hussussian, and Dr. Thomas G. Korkos combined their clinics to form Illume. The goal was simple: to provide patients with the highest quality of care under one roof and to ensure their cosmetic needs were met with compassion and expertise. Reflecting on the merger, Dr. Blake shared that “We’re bringing the most advanced technology and most experienced providers into one premier cosmetic practice.” This vision has guided us ever since, shaping Illume into the trusted name it is today.
Fast forward five years, and we’ve not only maintained our commitment to excellence, but we have also expanded, adding new locations and additional physicians to bring our services even closer to you.
Expanding Our Reach with Advanced Care
Since the merger, Illume has continued to grow, adding new locations in Franklin and Menomonee Falls to better serve the larger Milwaukee community. This expansion allows us to offer a broader range of services, ensuring that patients in more areas have access to the highest quality care. With more convenient locations and a commitment to cutting-edge procedures, we’ve remained focused on delivering the best results in both surgical and non-surgical treatments.
Welcoming New Physicians to the Illume Family
In the past five years, Illume has also expanded its team of expert surgeons and medical professionals. We are proud to have added 3 new physicians—Dr. Bruce, Dr. Cusic, and most recently, Dr. Boehm—all of whom bring a wealth of experience and specialized expertise to our practice. Our physicians at Illume are board-certified and dedicated to delivering the highest level of care, ensuring that every patient receives treatment tailored to their individual goals.
This expansion of our team means that we can offer a broader range of services, including specialized procedures and personalized consultations, ensuring that every patient’s unique needs are met with precision and expertise. Meet our surgeons here!

One of our core goals at Illume has always been to remain at the forefront of the cosmetic surgery field, offering cutting-edge treatments that are safe, effective, and transformative. Over the past five years, we have introduced several advanced techniques and services, including:
- Innovative body contouring procedures like SafeLipo® and 360-degree liposuction

We remain committed to continuing our legacy of excellence and growth, with plans to expand our services even further in the years to come.
