FEATURED PROCEDURES
At the Quatela Center, a comprehensive range of surgical options is available for the face, breast, and body—each performed by a specialist whose training and experience are matched to your procedure.
Facelift: Advanced techniques restore definition and harmony to the lower face and neck, delivering naturally refreshed results. Mini facelift options offer meaningful refinement with a shorter recovery.
Deep Neck Contouring: A specialized procedure exclusive to surgeons with deep anatomical expertise, it sculpts the jawline and neck for long-lasting, beautifully defined results.
Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery): By addressing excess skin and fat around the eyes, blepharoplasty restores a brighter, more rested appearance.
Rhinoplasty: Among the most technically demanding procedures in cosmetic surgery, rhinoplasty refines the shape and structure of the nose to create lasting facial balance.
Breast Augmentation: Using implants or fat transfer, our board-certified breast specialists bring exceptional artistry to every breast augmentation, tailored precisely to your anatomy, proportions, and goals.
Breast Reduction: Reducing breast size for comfort, proportion, and quality of life is among the most life-changing procedures available.
Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty): Tummy tuck surgery restores a firmer, flatter abdomen by removing excess skin and repairing separated abdominal muscles.
Mommy Makeover: A fully customized combination of procedures performed in a single surgery, the mommy makeover delivers comprehensive results.

OUR PATIENTS
SAY IT BEST
"Life-changing - I would never consider going anywhere else. I had a neck lift on May 1st. I reviewed Dr. Quatela extensively, because let’s face it, your face is the first thing people see. The staff was phenomenal. Dr. Q is soft spoken, sweet, and he KNOWS what he’s doing. I would never consider going anywhere else. I look in the mirror now, and I’m happy and grateful. It changed my life!"

How do I know which procedure is right for me?
Can procedures be combined?
What is recovery like?
What happens after I request a consultation?
Your consultation is where that conversation begins. Your surgeon will take time to understand your goals, assess your anatomy, and walk you through the options that make sense for you—so your decision is informed, considered, and entirely your own.
Many patients choose to combine procedures for comprehensive results with a single recovery period. Your surgeon will advise what combinations are safe, effective, and aligned with your goals.
Recovery experiences vary by procedure and patient, but most people can expect temporary swelling and discomfort after surgery. Every Quatela Center patient receives clear, detailed guidance at every stage, so there are no surprises. Your comfort is never an afterthought.
A member of our patient consultant team will reach out within 1 business day to discuss your goals, answer your questions about cosmetic surgery, and schedule your in-person or virtual consultation.

"Dr Montague is an amazing plastic surgeon. He performed a deep plane lift, a lower eyelid blepharoplasty and a skin resurfacing procedure on me. I am extremely satisfied with the outcome and would be happy to discuss my experience regarding the practice and Dr Montague’s skills. I drove from Buffalo to seek him out and it was worth the distance. I cannot begin to describe my satisfaction with the outcome."
– Shluffie, 5-Star Real Self Review
"I was a desperate woman who had a baby at 43. My self-esteem was terrible. I had just gone to a consult with another plastic surgeon who took one look at me, said "you'll never have a flat tummy". Well — that's because he wasn't Dr. Peter Krasniak. The skill, the bedside manner, the professionalism and confidence … at one of the most prestigious surgical centers on the east coast."
