DR. ALBIN PERFORMS LIPOSUCTION ON APPROXIMATELY 100 PATIENTS EACH YEAR   Liposuction is one of the most frequently performed cosmetic surgery procedure done in NON-accredited surgical facilities by NON ABPS-certified surgeons ignoring safety and the status of your health for speed and cost cutting. These shortcuts account for its“NOTORIETY”. In fact, it is a very safe cosmetic procedure when done properly.   Liposuction (Fat Suction) – removes extra fatty tissue to IMPROVE the CONTOUR of an area, including most commonly, hips, thighs, abdomen, waistline/love handles, arms, and neck. It is designed to re-contour an area by removing unwanted fat cells with a very thin cannula (tube) through a small incision placed in an inconspicuous area. It is NOT designed for weight loss and should be performed when you are at a REALISTIC weight that can be MAINTAINED.   New techniques minimize contour irregularities. Ultrasonic-assisted liposuction (UAL) is the newest modification, using ultrasound rather than mechanical force to break up and liquefy the fat. It is gentler with far less blood loss than traditional or tumescent liposuction and is very useful for large volume liposuction or areas having fibrous fatty tissue, such as a man’s love handles or a woman’s thighs and back. Dr. Albin is considered one of the pioneers of large-volume and ultrasonic liposuction.   People sometimes think they need a ‘tummy tuck’ while essentially all of the problems of a ‘bulging tummy’ generally can be improved with less invasive liposuction alone. If the goal is as flat a tummy as possible, liposuction usually is the proper procedure. A real tummy tuck involves a much longer scar and recovery and is appropriate if a significant amount of overhanging skin needs to be removed, as may occur when someone loses a large amount of weight.
