Dr. Ashley Amalfi, a plastic surgeon who was born and raised in Rochester, NY, joined the Quatela Center in 2019. She graduated in three years Summa Cum Laude from the George Washington University with a B.A. in Fine Arts and Art History, after which she pursued her Doctorate of Medicine from the University of Rochester’s School of Medicine and Dentistry. After graduation, she matched into a competitive integrated residency in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at Southern Illinois University in Springfield, Illinois. She is a Diplomate of the American Board of Plastic Surgery, and scored in the 93rd percentile overall amongst her peers on her Board Certification Exam.

Dr. Amalfi’s practice is comprised of cosmetic surgery of the breast and body. As a mother herself, Dr. Amalfi finds mommy makeovers to be one of the most rewarding procedures she can offer new mothers. Dr. Amalfi has experience caring for many different congenital breast differences and asymmetries, as well as patients who are unhappy with their outcomes from previous surgery and are looking for revision surgery. Dr. Amalfi’s education in fine arts complements the skills and attention to detail that translate into her cosmetic surgical outcomes. She recognizes that each of her patient’s goals and desires are unique, and tailors her surgical plan and techniques to help her patients look and feel their best.

Passionate about education and mentorship, Dr. Amalfi has founded local chapters for Women in Plastic Surgery (WIPS), Association for Women Surgeons (AWS), and UR Women in Surgery. She has been recognized for these efforts on multiple levels, receiving a mentorship award from the URMC Surgical Interest Group, a Mentorship Award from the URMC Plastic Surgery Residency, and the Women of Excellence Award from the Italian American Community Center.
