Restoring physical attributes and one’s inner confidence
Dear Dr. DeLuca,
I just wanted to take a minute to express my deepest gratitude for the work you do. I know I can speak for all of your patients when I tell you that you are not just a plastic surgeon restoring physical attributes, but a surgeon restoring one’s inner confidence which allows them to emerge into the world without fear and humility. You are restoring a vital piece of your patients’ lives every single day, their soul. We must love who we are to be what we want to be. Your professionalism and character allow those with any hesitation to feel comfortable and safe. You are the catalyst to many people’s transformations physically, psychologically, and emotionally.
Not everyone wants to be someone else. Many of us love who we are and loved who we were. I thought you should know that you touch the lives of your patients not just once, but forever. That is quite impressive.
Thank you for the spectacular work you do.

Patient testimonial to Dr. DeLuca
Dr. DeLuca defines the word ‘gentleman’
As a surgical scrub, I have had the privilege of working side by side with Dr. DeLuca for the past nine years and have seen first hand the kind of Doctor and person that he is. Simply put, Dr. DeLuca, defines the word “gentleman”. As a physician, he is impeccable in his care and concern for his patients. He is meticulous and gifted in his skills as a surgeon and was easily my choice when I myself, had plastic surgery. His professionalism, attention to detail and exceptional skills in the operating room surpasses all others. As a patient and professional co-worker I would recommend all of my family and friends to him.

My #1 choice of plastic surgeons in Albany N.Y.
I have had the pleasure of working closely in the operating room as a or tech with Dr. DeLuca for 13 years. I feel honored to be a part of his excellent outcomes on every procedure Dr. DeLuca performs. After working so closely with Dr. DeLuca I felt very comfortable myself choosing him as my plastic surgeon. I’ll never forget my first post-op visit… when he took my dressings off I actually had tears in my eyes. He helped me to feel the best I’ve ever felt about myself. Dr. DeLuca was by far my #1 choice of plastic surgeons in Albany N.Y.

All should know about Dr. DeLuca as he is the plastic surgeon to go to for not only medical procedures pertaining to medically necessary plastic surgeries but also plastic surgery of a cosmetic nature if someone wants to look and feel better about themselves.

I highly recommend Dr. DeLuca
I have been a patient of Dr. DeLuca’s for over ten years. Not only have I received excellent results from any surgery I have had, but I feel confident that I am having a competent surgeon with many years experience perform such surgery. He has always conducted himself in a professional, competent manner. I highly recommend him and have only to find the patient always satisfied!

Progressive, not aggressive
Historically, when someone finds an amazing Plastic Surgeon they tend to keep him/her to themselves. That is not the case with me. I searched for a very long time, both in and out of the Capital District to find a physician who was compassionate, honest, progressive, not aggressive and someone who had amazing surgical techniques and an artful eye for creating the appearance of natural beauty.
I have been a patient of Dr. DeLuca’s for many years and I have continued to be pleased with everything he has helped me with. Over the years I have made many referrals to Dr. DeLuca. Each and everyone one of those referrals felt that Dr. DeLuca far exceeded their expectations. I don’t think it gets much better than that!!

I couldn’t imagine trusting another cosmetic surgeon in Albany
I would like to extend my sincere congratulations to Dr. DeLuca and staff on his new private practice.
I speak for myself, my daughter and several friends in saying without a doubt will continue seeking Dr. DeLuca’s expertise in the world of plastic surgery.
There isn’t a day that goes by that I am not thrilled with the outcome performed by Dr. DeLuca. He is truly a master of his craft. I couldn’t imagine trusting another surgeon should I need future procedures.
I would also like to thank Dr. DeLuca and his staff for always conducting themselves in a professional caring manner. Regardless of the nature of the procedure, anxiety is always a factor. I was always reassured and tended to meet and console my comfort level.

Dr. DeLuca has always had complete integrity as a doctor
For the past 15 years, I have been a patient of Dr. William DeLuca. Over the years, Dr. DeLuca has personally performed cosmetic work on me, including both major and minor out patient procedures and maintenance Botox injections.
I have always found Dr. DeLuca to be very professional, honest and caring. I feel he has always been upfront about everything with me as a patient, particularly if I inquired about a certain procedure where he would tell me “you do not need it (yet)”.
Not only have I been Dr. DeLuca’s patient, but my mother and my 21 year old son have had surgery performed by him as well. He has also performed out-patient procedures on my 18 year old son too.
I feel Dr. DeLuca has always had complete integrity as a doctor and I have always completed trusted him, literally with my life. Not only have I trusted him with my life, but my mother’s and most of all my son’s lives as well.

All it took was one call to DeLuca Plastic Surgery
This is a long over-due “Thank you” letter! I had tortured myself for years with the idea of exploring plastic surgery to correct a physical characteristic that bothered me on a daily basis. I was so self conscious that I didnt even want to admit I was self conscious! All it took was one call to your office and speaking with Gloria, who is AMAZING, and I stopped by for a free consultation. Not only did I feel comfortable speaking with you, I felt completely confident in your abilities to help me. You showed me a whole book of before-and-after photos and you also made me feel like there were no wrong questions to ask. You were straight forward and honest about your expectations for my surgery, and I have to say it has been 6 months already and I have never been more confident or gotten more compliments. I enjoy seeing photos of myself for the first time in a decade, and wish I had gotten your help years ago!
The entire process was smooth and simple from start to finish. Everything was made so simple, even the surgery center staff was amazing and sweet. I healed and recovered faster than I ever imagined and now recommend you to any and everyone. Thank you for what you do, I am certain your new private practice will soar!

With Dr. DeLuca its all about the best end results
Dr. DeLuca gave me my life back and now I am more confident than I have ever been.
I had my first consultation in 2006 but instead of jumping for the money he told me to come back when I was done having a family because with him its all about the best end results – which is why mine were the best they were for me and better than I had ever envisioned. On my last consultation he gave me a packet on what to expect and do before and after surgery after explaining in detail what he was going to do explained all the different types of implants and what would suit my body better and that I should call if I thought of anything else and call I did, especially after surgery. It did not matter what time or that it was a weekend – he was there to answer my questions, reassure me and talk me through the tough times with no trace of impatience. Just knowing he was a telephone call away put me at ease and the recovery that much easier. Now I look in the mirror every morning and go wow! That’s me! I went from a size 10 to a size 6 and that Little red dress I loved so much and have saved for so long looks even better on me now that i have fabulous cleavage to go with it. And this is all thanks to Dr D. You gave me my confidence back. Thank you and I love you!

I would recommend Dr. DeLuca without hesitation
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 and uneven). I was pleased at Dr. DeLuca’s listening skills, honesty and patience with me that I chose to have the surgery again. This was almost seven years ago and the results were excellent. Since then I have returned to Dr. DeLuca for a couple of other “non-breast” procedures with incredible results. I would recommend Dr. DeLuca to other friends (which I have) without hesitation.

No more pain. No more hiding in large clothes.
Thank you Dr. DeLuca!!!
Dr. DeLuca accomplished in 2 hours what should have been done 4 years ago after a mastectomy. Over 6 surgeries with horrific outcomes, I finally went to Dr. DeLuca when several friends told me what a wonderful surgeon he was. He rebuilt my breast to look like my other breast. No more pain. No more hiding in large clothes. It looks beautiful. I feel like a new woman!! Great job Dr. DeLuca

The best plastic surgeon in the Albany, NY area
To anyone who is contemplating getting a breast reduction , do not be scared. From start to finish there is nothing to worry about. From the moment I entered the office and was greeted by Dr. DeLuca’s secretary Gloria, I was totally at ease. Dr. DeLuca has such a great bedside manner and I felt comfortable talking to him. He gave me great advice on how much breast tissue I should have removed to fit my body proportions. It has been several years now and my only regret is not getting this surgery sooner. It has truly changed my life in many different ways. Dr. DeLuca is the best plastic surgeon in the area in my opinion. I have referred many of my friends and business associates to him and they all have been very happy with their results.

I feel great and look great — thanks Dr. DeLuca.
I have always had large breast; my gynecologist has hinted for several years to me regarding a breast reduction; until the suggestion I never gave it a thought. Over the last three years the thought of a breast reduction has always been in the back of my mind. When I look at myself in pictures/mirror I see large and hanging breasts with large indentations in my shoulders and back pain. A friend recently underwent a breast reduction and when I saw her was amazed at how great she looked.
I have never had surgery but knew I was unhappy with my size DD breasts; I decided to make an appointment with Dr. DeLuca just to discuss the process and procedure keeping in the back of my mind I’m just talking to the Doctor no decisions have to be made.
I was a little nervous on appointment day; will I be able to do this, have surgery? When I met Dr. DeLuca he made me very comfortable, he showed me pictures of other women’s breasts before and after their surgery – my breasts looked just as large and saggy as these women’s but the after pictures were amazing. Dr. DeLuca explained what the procedures would be; however, I was still nervous but decided to go for it.
On surgery day I was not nervous because I knew this is what I wanted. The surgery went great; I didn’t need the pain medication Tylenol worked for me. I had surgery on Tuesday and went back to work on the following Monday.
I feel great, no back pain and the indentations in my shoulders are starting to fade. I have never worn a shirt with buttons – they always gape in the front – now I own button up shirts. I enjoy shopping for clothes. I can buy pretty colored bras; I now own a sports bra – they never fit – always looked like I had one big boob. The most amazing thing is I don’t have to wear a bra if I don’t want to – they look great.
I would recommend anyone to Dr. DeLuca, he did a wonderful job, and made me feel comfortable, and I liked him immediately. Dr. DeLuca answered all my questions and I had a list – he sat down and answered each and every one – I am very happy with my new size and wish I had this done sooner. I feel great and look great thanks Dr. DeLuca.

I did not hesitate; I called Dr. DeLuca and made my appointment.
I met Dr. DeLuca back in 2003, when a family member needed a breast reduction. He was highly recommended by a co-worker and the family member was very happy with the results. I thought about having a breast reduction this year when I saw my pictures from a vacation and was not happy with what I saw. Then I ran into an old friend who always had a larger chest than me she looked wonderful! I said to her you look great and she told me about her breast reduction surgery.
At this point I was not happy with my body and more thought had me ask myself why am I dealing with back pain, bra straps dig in into my shoulder, my clothing not fitting me correctly, and always being self conscious of my breast size.
I did not hesitate; I called Dr. DeLuca and made my appointment. Doctor explained everything about the surgery and confirmed that I was a candidate for breast reduction surgery.
After my surgery I noticed immediately relief of my back pain and my shoulders did not hurt me. I have more confidence in myself and feel 10 years younger now. Shopping is a pleasure – I can put on a blouse without worry if the blouse will pop open! I can wear anything now from a suit to a bathing suit & be comfortable about myself.
Dr. DeLuca did a wonderful job with my large and saggy breasts, now I have a perfect breast size and shape. I would recommend Dr. DeLuca to anyone who needs a surgery. Dr. DeLuca makes you feel very comfortable to talk to, and he answers all your questions, shows you picture so you are clear on how you may look. I just recommended Dr. DeLuca to one of my friends about two months ago and she had the surgery too… She looks and feels great! Thank You Dr. DeLuca.

Could not have asked for a better outcome
I just wanted to thank you for truly changing my life and making me feel more like a woman. This experience has been life changing in so many positive ways. After nursing my second child I was left with minimal breast tissue. This made me feel embarrassed, unattractive and not very womanly. The first time I called your office Gloria was extremely helpful in answering my questions. She promptly called me back to schedule my first initial appointment. After meeting with you, your experience and confidence in meeting my expectations was my deciding factor in scheduling the procedure with you. Within 2 weeks your staff was able to schedule me for the procedure. Now, 2 months later, I have resumed all normal activities just as you said I would. My incision scar is unbelievable, it’s barely noticeable! I could not have asked for a better outcome. Your advice and guidance truly helped meet my goals of looking proportioned to my body shape and not overdone. This procedure has boosted my self esteem and confidence. Finally, those dreadful days of bathing suit shopping are over. For the first time I look and feel absolutely amazing.

I would recommend Dr. DeLuca in a heart beat.
It has been 6 months since my breast augmentation and I am still on cloud nine. From my initial visit with Dr. DeLuca 2 years ago to my last most recent visit, my experience has been nothing short of amazing. The staff makes you feel comfortable and at ease right away and Dr. DeLuca will take the time to listen to your concerns and offer wonderful, spot on advice. Having a breast augmentation was a big decision for me. I had breast fed both of my children and had lost most of the breast tissue and I was barely an A cup. One of my biggest fears was going too big and Dr. DeLuca and I had many conversations about what size I should be. I finally gave him the trust he deserved and went with what he said, a small C. He was right in every way! I am so happy with the results and would recommend Dr. DeLuca in a heart beat.

He is simply THE BEST!
Dr. DeLuca is an amazing surgeon. Not only is he a plastic surgeon, he is an artist. The work I’ve seen by him, not only on myself, but on other people as well is truly a work of art. He has an eye for beauty and knows how to tastefully make changes that look incredible, yet still keeps you looking like yourself, not completely fake and unrecognizable. I had my breast augmentation in March of 2011 and already look and feel amazing. He made this experience for me an absolute breeze. I had little to no anxiety about the procedure due to his care, knowledge and compassion. I wouldn’t recommend anyone else in the area. He is simply THE BEST!
Thank you for everything Dr.D! You made the breasts I had better and my confidence is through the roof! Your work does just as much good on the inside as it does on the outside!

I’m sure I’ll be seeing Dr. DeLuca again when the fear of getting older hits me.
I met Dr. DeLuca in 2004. I had been contemplating breast augmentation for years and just kept talking myself out of it. A friend of mine told me that her sister had been to see Dr DeLuca and had an augmentation. She went on and on about how real they look & how they fit her perfectly. I had some money put away and decided to, at the very least, check the logistics of it out. I had a consultation along with my friend and we both decided to go for it.
Everything about him sets you at ease. Nothing feels strange about the consultation. It’s very clinical and very informative. I let him decide where I should be with regard to breast size, he IS the expert. The surgery was a breeze and everyone who works with him is just amazing.
The result: I actually feel like a woman now. I feel sexy and I enjoy clothing so much more. I honestly thought that I looks so boyish before. Dr DeLuca fixed that and I can never express how grateful I am. My confidence and self body image is so improved. A went from an A-small B to a D immediately. It was amazing. Now I’ve put a little weight on, more to grow into my beautiful breasts than for any other reason. Now I have curves and am a perfect DD.
I went to a little lingerie shop this summer to be properly fitted & buy some sexy bras. The women in the shop kept going on and on about what beautiful breasts I have.
Thank you so much Dr. DeLuca. I’m sure I’ll be seeing you again when the fear of getting older hits me.

I cannot say enough about Dr. DeLuca!
I cannot say enough about Dr. DeLuca! After having three children, I found myself not feeling good about my body and for almost two years considered having a breast augmentation. Upon my first meeting with Dr. DeLuca, I felt so comfortable and immediately scheduled the procedure. I was extremly nervous and he took a lot of time explaining the procedure and giving me a great idea as to what would happen surgery day.
It has been just three months and my results are amazing. I highly recommend Dr. DeLuca and his staff. I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. DeLuca and I truly feel there is no better doctor!

Because of my positive experience, my Mom contacted Dr. DeLuca
After many years of considering breast augmentation, I made the decision to contact Dr. DeLuca. I immediately felt comfortable with his professionalism and was reassured that my procedure would be successful. I also had liposuction to my abdominal area and I am so glad that both surgeries were done at the same time. I was truly in minimal pain and the recovery time was approximately four weeks. It has been four years and I am very pleased with the results and feel confident that I made the right choice.
I have also consulted Dr. DeLuca for Botox treatments two times and have been very pleased with the natural results. Each treatment actually lasted approximately six months and had no discomfort.
Because of my positive experience, my Mom contacted Dr. DeLuca for a face lift and brow lift. She was sixty eight at the time and also felt very comfortable with his professionalism and expertise in both areas. It has been three years for my Mom and she is also very pleased with the results. Dr. DeLuca’s work was very natural looking and gave my Mom a rested look. Her recovery time was approximately six weeks and had minimal pain during recovery.
I would highly recommend Dr. DeLuca and feel confident with his expertise in all of the above areas I mentioned. He is a very compassionate and knowledgeable physician.

I have recommended Dr. DeLuca to over 15 people
I have been a client of Dr DeLuca’s for 20 years. I am also in the medical profession. The skill with which Dr DeLuca performs surgery is artistic, aesthetic, and by far the most natural I have seen. I have had several surgeries over the twenty year span, facial as well as breast augmentation. After each recovery people ask what I am doing differently, why do I look so good? No one can place surgery as the reason which is the greatest complement to a plastic surgeon in my mind.
Dr DeLuca has an amazing way with his patients. He really pays attention to what is important to each individual. He has refused to perform procedures that I had inquired about because he felt they weren’t necessary. His commitment to his patients best interests is unmatched.
I have recommended Dr DeLuca to over 15 people, both friends and family, all of whom have undergone surgery with him with phenomenal results and more referrals.
Words can’t express the difference Dr DeLuca has made in my life on so many levels. Increased confidence being the most important.
Whether someone is seeking a plastic surgeon for elective or medically necessary reasons, there is no one I would trust or recommend more then Dr DeLuca.

Dr. DeLuca has positively changed my life forever!
Dr. DeLuca has positively changed my life forever!
I was educated and mentally ready for my challenge to have weight loss surgery, but I was not prepared for what it did to my body and my self-esteem once I got to my goal weight.
From the very first time meeting with Dr. DeLuca I was completely at ease with him. I loved his demeanor, professionalism and complete dedication to his work. I might add a perfectionist… which I admire! My first surgery with him was a breast correction with implants and a full tummy tuck at the same time. The results were beyond my expectation. My breasts are now the same size prior to surgery but they are fuller, lifted and positioned perfectly. They do not look “fake” and they look so natural as if they were like this my whole life. My full tummy tuck which is absolutely amazing… allows me to now buy the right size clothes. My second surgery was liposuction, which reshaped my lower back and upper buttocks area. I had fat deposits that I could not get rid of by diet and exercise. The bruising was a bit scary but it all went away very quickly.
Dr. DeLuca has incredible talent and he really puts you at ease with explaining the entire process. His staff is very caring and professional. Words cannot express how much he changed my life and my self-esteem. I would certainly do this all over again with Dr. DeLuca without any hesitation.

My breasts are amazing and have been life altering for me.
Dr. DeLuca has positively changed my life forever!
My name is Valerie and I am a 45 year old single mother with three daughters. After breast feeding all three infants for a period of one year my breast size decreased two sizes. I sought out three opinions for breast augmentation. The first two opinions I received wanted to do a full breast lift and breast implants which required a higher fee and a lot more surgery.
Dr. DeLuca was the last opinion I received and was feeling frustrated knowing that the expense was great and the surgery more complicated than I thought. Dr. DeLuca was able to do a less complicated surgery at a lower cost. My breasts are amazing and have been life altering for me. Dr. DeLuca was very thorough with a wonderful bedside manner and an incredible talent for breast augmentation. I highly recommend him for breast lift and/or augmentation and continue to refer him to all my friends.

I love the way I look thanks to Dr. DeLuca’s magical hands.
I had my consultation with Dr. DeLuca on August 9, 2010. I was very anxious to have my surgery and Dr. DeLuca was able to do my surgery on August 13, 2010. I was very specific in the look that I wanted and Dr. DeLuca did exactly what I asked for. Considering the amount of work Dr. DeLuca had to do on me my end result was exactly what I wanted. I love the way I look thanks to Dr. DeLuca’s magical hands. I would highly recommend him for any type of plastic surgery. The staff in the office is just as considerate and helpful as Dr. DeLuca himself.
Thank you Dr. DeLuca for making me feel beautiful again. God Bless.

I felt he really made the process as comfortable as possible.
I am very pleased with the work that Dr. DeLuca performed on me. I had neck liposuction and breast augmentation done simultaneously. Going into this I had two major concerns, the first being neck bruising. A couple of days after the surgery I only had slight bruising at the base of my neck and after the first week, all of the bruising was gone. The second concern I had was having my breast augmentation be too noticeable. I was originally a B cup and since breast feeding two children and climbing towards 40 years old, I became a saggy B cup. I wanted more fullness and to be more proportionate. Dr. DeLuca helped me to decide that a C cup would meet my goals. I am very happy with the size and the fact that clever clothing planning disguises my surgery. I highly recommend Dr. DeLuca to anyone that has any hesitation about plastic surgery, as I felt he really listened to me and made the process as comfortable as possible.

‘Memes, your face is brand new again.’
I am writing to thank you and your team for your assistance in making an extremely important decision in my life with regards to my recent surgery. This is something that I have considered for many years. Your clear and concise explanation of the processes, procedures, and overall expectations were paramount in my making my final decision.
Each stage and post operation visits, in my opinion, were excellent experiences. I was surprised to experience no pain from this surgical procedure and followed your post op directions without deviation. The transformation and final outcome was more than I expected and I am thrilled with moving forward having made this decision in my life.
I spent time away with my daughter who assisted me with the post operation directions which was of great help, and I did not see my grandchildren during this time frame. The largest compliment, other than my sincere thanks would be from my grandchild, who when he first saw me surprisingly stated, “Memes, your face is brand new again.”
In closing, I again thank you for such diligent work and exceeding my expectations. I would certainly do it all over again without question!

A fabulous cosmetic surgeon and a caring doctor
I have been a patient of Dr. DeLuca for 20 years and would highly recommend him. As a young woman, I came to him for rhinoplasty which I had always wanted. He not only corrected my nose functionally but sculpted it to look natural and perfect. I could not have imagined a better result!!
In the years that followed, a family history of melanoma put me at risk. Dr. DeLuca has removed a number of moles with minimal, if any, scarring. His office is always very accommodating and timely. I have referred many friends and family members to him because he is not only a fabulous surgeon but is a caring doctor who takes the time to listen to his patients.

I feel like I have the most perfect nose now!
My experience with Dr. DeLuca from start to finish was a pleasant and successful journey. I was very unhappy with the bump in the bridge of my nose and I also felt it could be taken in a bit as well. I have a slender nose already, I just wanted it to be shaped correctly. I was very pleased with the professionalism and care that i have recieved. He explained the procedure and recovery very well and answered any questions. I am extremly happy with the result and it has only been about 2 and a half months!! I feel like i have the most perfect nose now! I also had a septoplasty in addition to the rhinoplasty. It has resolved my breathing issues while sleeping, entirely. The difference is night and day! I could not be happier and I am so very grateful to have found such a wonderful Doctor to do my surgery! Thank you Dr. DeLuca!

Now as a Grandmother when my little granddaughter fell on the ice and broke open her chin—-Who do you think I told my daughter to call—–RIGHT—–DR.DELUCA.

I felt safe with his ability
Why I decided to have a full face lift,eye lids neck, cheeks: I was ageing and I didnt like the umbrella of ageing… you know, covering your face with make up, hats, hair in your face, oh and the magical face creams, of which none worked despite costing mega bucks! They don’t, wont and cant give you back your youthfulness and former looks. Our face is the first part of us that people notice and they quickly make an assessment on our age and appearance. The younger generations don’t realize that they will soon reach our age as well. I am sure I have done the same when I see older people. Thanks to my surgery, I now feel more confident in my facial looks…I notice on-lookers seeing me with a pleasantness and acceptance now… instead of “look at that old woman”. The discomfort of surgery was minimal and I healed quickly . Dr DeLuca is a pleasant gentleman & an articulate surgeon who knows his work well. He gives of himself to his patients. I am thankful I met him and thankful for the surgical services he gave me. I felt safe with his ability and I thank you very much Dr. DeLuca.

Cannot say enough about Dr. Deluca’s kind manner
My daughter, Liza had breast reduction surgery by Dr. DeLuca when she was 19 years old in 1996. She had very large breasts much out of proportion with the rest of her body. She was very impressed and so was I with Dr. DeLuca’s very kind bedside manner. She was so pleased with her “new” breasts that she wanted to show everyone, even her father (who declined of course).
Liza is no longer on this earth, she is in heaven after being murdered by her husband in 2004. However she was always proud of how she looked and how she felt after the surgery. I too had liposuction done by Dr. DeLuca in February 2004 and I too was very pleased with the results. He is a very kind and personable man and I cannot say enough about his kind manner. I also must commend his staff for their professionalism and kindness.

Dear Dr. DeLuca, please post these pictures
I am a 52 year old woman. As a dark skinned “Mediterranean” woman, I have been plagued with very dark circles under my eyes whether I am tired or not. As such, I have been applying concealer on my circles for the last 40 years. Not being the gentle-touch kind of person, I inadvertently created a lot of unsightly damage. In addition to this (and perhaps hereditary), my eyelids were drooping such that in the late afternoon, I had trouble seeing (anything but half of an eyelid). My friends recommended that I consider having a procedure known as a blepharoplasty and Dr. DeLuca was the most frequently recommended surgeon. After doing extensive research, I decided to proceed. Dr. DeLuca informed me that he could solve the issue with the incredibly excessive skin above and below my eyes, but he indicated that I would, by heritage, still have the dark circles. I truly appreciated his honesty, and proceeded anyway.
The surgery was a “piece of cake” just like the Dr. said it would be. I am a whimp, and did not believe him, but he was right!
So many of my friends that knew that I was having this done, raved about how good I looked. Being a skeptic, I reserved comment. Then when Dr. DeLuca showed me the before and after pictures, I was blown away!! Dear Dr. DeLuca, please post these pictures. I think that other women/men might benefit from this visual. I would be happy to speak to anyone via Dr. DeLuca if they are considering this surgery and have any questions. I am sorry that I waited so long!!
PS – My circles are actually less dark, so I guess I got lucky in that regard!

You are a professional individual and I applaud you for that.
My procedure with Dr. DeLuca was eyelid surgery, both upper & lower lids. I had experienced thyroid cancer in 2006 and the entire ordeal took a toll on me both emotionally and (as I saw it) cosmetically – especially when I would see myself appearing very tired. And yes, age too was a factor in my needing this procedure. I had not one but two consultations with Dr. DeLuca and decided that he was the perfect person to help me. It has been a few years now since the procedure and I remain certain that he was the best plastic surgeon I could have had perform this procedure on myself. I would do it all over again. I searched for and found his new website and decided to share my story for anyone else who might currently feel as I once did. I was searching for his information to give to a friend of mine who constantly compliments me on my eyes and wants to have a procedure done by Dr. Deluca also.
Dr. DeLuca, I cannot thank you enough. You are a professional individual and I applaud you for that. The level of comfort and confidence you bestow on your patients is simply amazing – thank you for all that you have done for me.

I was not treated like a number, but rather like a person.
I was extremely unhappy with the way my upper eyelids were starting to droop, and the puffiness and bags under my eyes made me look 10 years older. Nothing fixed the problem, no matter how many creams and potions I tried. I was very skeptical of plastic surgery at first, but my experience with Dr. Deluca and his highly competent staff was enough to set me at ease. Any question I had was answered promptly and professionally. I feel I received the total care that one comes to expect from the beginning to the end of my surgery. I was especially surprised how I was not treated like a number, but rather like a person. The staff were concerned and checked on me even after I had went home. They truly care! I have had such a positive experience that I have recommended him to others and will be back again myself.
