Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck) Albany, NY | William F. DeLuca, Jr. MD

Understanding Tummy Tuck Surgery

An abdominoplasty, commonly known as a tummy tuck, is a surgical procedure designed to reduce excess skin and fat from the abdomen while tightening underlying abdominal wall muscles. The goal is to create a smoother, firmer abdominal profile tailored to each patient's unique body composition and aesthetic goals.

Four Primary Abdominoplasty Techniques

• Mini-Abdominoplasty:
• Standard Abdominoplasty:
• Extended Abdominoplasty:
• Liposuction Abdominoplasty:

Candidate Assessment for Tummy Tuck

DeLuca Plastic Surgery takes a personalized approach to determining candidacy. Surgeons thoroughly evaluate three key factors: muscle weakness, excess fat, and skin elasticity. This comprehensive assessment ensures the most appropriate surgical strategy for each patient.

Potential Surgical Options

• Patients with good skin elasticity might benefit from liposuction alone
• Minimal skin sagging may require a mini-tummy tuck
• Significant muscle weakness and skin excess typically suggest a full abdominoplasty

Surgical Consultation Process

The initial consultation involves a comprehensive medical history review and in-depth discussion of patient expectations. Surgeons provide detailed explanations, review comparable patient photographs, and collaboratively develop a customized surgical plan.

What to Expect During Consultation

• Thorough medical history assessment
• Detailed procedure explanation
• Review of surgical options
• Cost estimate and financial consultation
