About Your Breast Enhancement Specialist – Dr. William DeLuca

Dr. William DeLuca has specialized in breast augmentation for over 26 years. This focus has lead to a level of technical expertise and case experience that very few others in the field of cosmetic surgery can equal. His breast augmentation patients choose him not only because of his reputation for consistently superlative results, but also because:

• For Dr. DeLuca, practice & experience = 26 years of cosmetic surgery training and over 1,500 breast augmentation & breast lift surgeries.
• His is vast experience augmenting every type of breast and many just like theirs means there won’t be any surprises in terms of the shape, size and appearance of their breasts post-operation.
• His technical expertise and artist’s eye for proportion, line and form.
• His post-operative complication and revision rate is substantially lower than the national average and he makes himself available 24/7 to his patients both before and after their procedure.

I originally went to Dr. William DeLuca at a referral from a girlfriend after another Albany plastic surgeon did an unsatisfactory job of altering my breasts (too large & uneven). I was so pleased at Dr. DeLuca’s listening skills, honesty and patience with me that I chose to have the surgery again. This was almost 7 years ago and the results were excellent. Since then I have returned to Dr. DeLuca for a few other “cosmetic” procedures with incredible results. I would (and do) recommend Dr. DeLuca to other friends without hesitation.

Is Breast Enlargement Surgery The Right Procedure For You?

Self-improvement is a natural desire. Breast augmentation isn’t just a step toward changing your look — it represents a transformation in how you feel about yourself, as well. Breast enhancement may be ideal if you would like to:

• Enlarge your breasts to achieve a more aesthetically pleasing bust.
• Balance asymmetrical breasts that differ in size or shape (i.e. breast asymmetry correction).
• Reshape and/or re-enlarge breasts that have lost their shape, firmness, perkiness or volume due to pregnancy or weight change.
• Combine with a tummy tuck or “mommy makeover” so that there is perfect consistency and harmony between both the breasts and body.

Growing up I always wished that I had bigger breasts. I have never been the kind of woman that wanted huge boobs. I just wanted to actually fill out more than an A cup. I am a mother of two children both of which I breast fed for the first half of each of their lives. As a result, the small breasts I did have were lifeless and heading south. Over the last few years I have worked really hard to get back the body I had before having my children. Once I was satisfied with the way the rest of my body looked, I knew I was finally at a place in my life where getting breasts was something that would make me feel the best I could possibly feel. I did a lot of research and chose to have a consultation with Dr. DeLuca because of the outstanding testimonials I read on his website, as well as his ranking on a website I was referred to in order to find the best possible doctor. After meeting Dr. DeLuca, I knew I wanted him to do my surgery. He was personable, caring, knowledgeable, and realistic. He helped me determine a breast size that fit not only my body but my lifestyle. It has been about two months since my surgery, and I absolutely love my new breasts. Since I had my surgery, my sister and my best friend also chose to have Dr. DeLuca perform their breast augmentation in Albany. I highly recommend Dr. DeLuca, and I could not be happier with my decision!

By the way, the pain was minimal. If you have given birth, getting your breasts done is a walk in the park!

The Breast Augmentation Procedure

After speaking in depth about your decision, you and Dr. Deluca will then discuss specific matters such as the location of your incision, as well as the shape, size and type of the implant itself and the location in which it will be placed. Most incisions are typically made beneath the breast’s areola (the divide of light and dark skin in the nipple area) or in the lower crease below the breast. Placing the incision below the chest, or pectoralis, muscle offers many benefits such as the most natural appearance and reduced scarring. For patients with special conditions such as asymmetry, drooping or atypically-shaped breasts, placing the implant under the breast glad or partially between the breast gland and pectoralis muscle may be a viable option as well. You will undergo this procedure at the state-of-the-art surgery facilities in St. Peter’s Hospital. General anesthesia is required, which is administered by a board-certified and accredited anesthesiologist. The procedure usually does not take very long, with an average duration of one and a half to three hours.

After Your Breast Augmentation in Albany NY

A licensed and registered nurse will provide immediate post-surgical care. When you are fully awake from the surgery, it is possible for you to go home under the care of a family member or friend. While it is possible to return to light (i.e. no heavy lifting) work as early as four or five days after the procedure, Dr. DeLuca generally recommends taking seven days for recovery if possible. The immediate post-surgical appearance of your breasts will be full and firm, while side effects such as swelling and bruising may appear for up to two weeks. You will be provided with a special supportive bra, which should be worn for the first three to five days and replaced with a sports bra after that. After about two weeks, it is possible to wear normal bras and bikini tops. Light exercise (ellipticals, treadmill, stationary bicycle) may be performed as early as five days after the procedure, while more physically demanding activity can be gotten back to around three weeks after (excluding chest exercise, which is resumed at six weeks). Your breasts will have “settled” and attained their final feel and appearance around two months after your breast augmentation in Albany NY procedure.

The Importance of Post-Operative Care

After your procedure, you won’t be saying goodbye to Dr. DeLuca and his friendly staff. During your recovery period, the entirety of our staff and resources will be open to you in order to help you recover with a minimum of pain and downtime.

Dr. DeLuca’s professional opinion can help give you the peace of mind and stability of knowing that there’s an expert on your side.
