Dr. Albert Losken is a self-described perfectionist with an artistic eye. His beautiful, natural outcomes have created a busy practice and excellent reputation with both patients and other physicians. He was voted, by his peers, one of Atlanta’s Top Doctors. And he was named Teacher of the Year at Emory three times.
Inspired by his father, Dr. Losken exudes the same love and dedication for his work. He says that what drives him is seeing how his work impacts each patient’s confidence and entire life. In fact, he says “I’m only happy when they’re happy.” And, for Dr. Losken, that also goes for informing and supporting the families of his patients as well.
Dr. Losken says it is important that he work together with the patient to make sure they get the result they want. He has a low-key but highly caring demeanor and says, “It’s not just the procedure; I treat the patient as a whole – both mind and body.”
Particularly in the case of breast reconstruction or body contouring after weight loss, Dr. Losken takes special care to create beautiful results and, as importantly, to make sure that the patient is comfortable in their own body.
Being part of the larger Emory family means the world to Dr. Losken. He is proud to work with such talented and compassionate surgeons and to carry on the reputation of excellence that Emory enjoys worldwide.
As Dr. Losken says, “Times change. Looks change. Desires change. We, as surgeons, have to change with them. Being a professor gives us the opportunity to learn what is on the forefront of surgical and non-surgical procedures and to be inspired by our students. It keeps us young and motivated.”
Dr. Losken enjoys spending time with his family, works out, plays sports and keeps himself in physical as well as mental shape which is necessary for his demanding work. One of his interests is drawing which helps him focus and pay attention to proportions and the intricate detail which he feels contributes to his ability to understand and transform patients.
