Mid Facelift
The mid facelift procedure rejuvenates the middle portion of the face (the area immediately below the lower lid and above frown lines). Similar to a traditional facelift procedure, the mid facelift helps patients, who come from Rochester and surrounding areas such as Syracuse and Buffalo, NY, address concerns associated with the aging face including loose, drooping, and sagging skin that can cause wrinkles and creases. The mid facelift utilizes small incisions and can create dramatic results, lifting through the middle portion of the face for a refreshed look.
To discuss which facelift procedure is right for you, request your consultation with one of our facial plastic surgeons using our online form or call our office at (585) 244-1000 to have a member of our staff schedule your appointment.
Keep in mind that each patient is unique and your results may vary. Keep in mind that each patient is unique and your results may vary.

Benefits of a Mid Facelift
The mid facelift procedure helps patients achieve a more youthful look. It addresses many areas that a traditional facelift cannot alone, including the lower eyelids, corrugator muscles (located between the eyes), and cheeks. Firmer skin, tighter muscle supports, smoothed creases and wrinkles, and a slight lift can combine for dramatic and noticeable results. It is important to know that a mid facelift is generally not done as an independent procedure, but is usually always performed in conjunction with a brow lift and/or a lower eyelid lift.
The Mid Facelift Consultation
During a mid facelift consultation, your surgeon will meet with you to discuss the procedure, its benefits and side effects, the potential results, and your eligibility for surgery. Your medical history, previous surgeries, and current medications and supplements will also be discussed at the appointment.
After listening to your aesthetic goals, your surgeon will take the time to assess the tone and elasticity of your skin and facial tissue, determine the areas for rejuvenation, and make a recommendation for your treatment. He or she will offer their experience and expertise about facial surgery and suggest the procedure best suited to achieving your optimum results.

Ideal Candidates for Mid Facelift Surgery
All candidates for mid facelift surgery must be in good physical health, not smoke, and have realistic expectations for their potential results. This procedure is most often recommended for women and men as young as their mid-30’s and into their 40’s and 50’s, based on the specific types of aging that have affected their appearance. Prospective patients have complaints about hollowed eyes, deep smile lines, and sunken cheeks. Through discussion with your surgeon, you can learn more about the mid facelift procedure and if you are a good candidate for surgery.
The Mid Facelift Procedure
To perform a mid facelift surgery, the surgeon places incisions hidden within the hairline, top of the head and temporal area. Through these incisions, the sugeon accesses the facial muscles and fat at a deeper level to tighten and firm the supports of the mid-facial region. Excess fat and skin will be removed to create a smoother appearance as well. The skin will be overlaid more firmly and the sutures will be closed to complete the surgery.
Recovery After Mid Facelift Surgery
Mid facelift surgery is performed as an outpatient procedure so patients return home on the same day. Following any facelift surgery, swelling, bruising, and moderate discomfort are expected side effects, along with a feeling of tightness through the mid-face and cheeks. This pain and discomfort will begin to fade as the patient heals. In the meantime, they can be managed with proper care, including pain medication, elevating the head, applying cold compresses as directed, and getting plenty of rest at home.
Most patients are able to return to work within a couple of weeks after mid facelift surgery, although exercise and strenuous activities are usually restricted until three weeks post-operatively. Discuss the specifics of your own recovery with your surgeon before returning to work, exercise, and other physical activities.

I've been visiting Quatela Center for several years. I adore their services because of the qualify of work from not just Dr. Quatela, but from all the staff. They are dedicated, friendly and knowledgeable. I won't go anywhere else.

I have had an amazing experience with Dr. Amalfi. I have wanted labiaplasty for a very long time. It wasn't until I had a consultation with Dr. Amalfi that I knew she was my surgeon. I felt very comfortable and confident in her. She answered all my questions and took her time and explained the whole procedure/process with me. I was nervous on surgery day but thanks to the amazing nurses (Margy, Kaylee, and Taylor) they made me very comfortable. Iam three weeks post surgery and feel amazing. You will wish you have done it sooner!! Thanks to Melissa for making this process very smooth. I highly recommend Dr. Amalfi!!

It's been a little over 2 months since my breast reduction surgery performed by Dr. Amalfi and I am LITERALLY jumping for joy! I live in Boulder, CO and had consultations with surgeons in Denver, San Francisco and Portland and was about to just put it off after not feeling the right fit.. In one last attempt I looked at places around my hometown in NY and after a virtual consultation with Dr. Amalfi I was sold! Knowledgable, professional, and such an authentic human offering a relaxed comfortable space for me to be nervous and giggle and be blunt and so on. I've never had any surgery done before and was expecting to feel more anxiety the morning going in but her and every single person on her staff made me feel so relaxed. Healing was swift and smooth. The Quatela staff was also so quick to answer any question I had at anytime. I am soooo grateful and stoked on the results, already feeling less tension in my neck and can finally feel good wearing button ups woohoo!! I would highly recommend her and this center to anyone considering plastic surgery!!

After having cancer and chemotherapy, year after year I lost more hair. I was very upset and started asking all my friends, and professionals that I knew about who would do a good job on hair restoration. Everyone I talked to said go to Dr. Quatela. I did and I received a FUT and followed up with PRP treatments. Wow what a difference. I am no longer embarrassed. Working with the patient consultant Brooke, I knew what to expect and when. Upon my final one year check up for my hair with Dr. Quatela I ventured to ask him what he thought about me doing a facelift and lots of questions. I was so shocked at the time he took to explain his suggestions and listen to his thoughts. Once he left the room Brooke and I went over details. I went home and talked to my husband, and he said, just book it! I waited until the day and in between made many calls to Brooke to ask this and that, she always answered my calls very quickly and answered all my questions. She made great recommendations, including have me stay the night of surgery in the carriage house. She was spot on, I could have never gone home and managed the first night and have to come back the net morning to be checked. I stayed and my nurse, Emily was so caring and attentive. I got up, and saw the doctor and then went home to start the healing. It is now only 8 weeks and I have a lot more healing to do but I am so very happy and everyday i look better. A friend I saw yesterday told me I lost 15 years! Every experience from the nurses to the reception, to Dr. Quatela is so outstanding! He assures me when I question different parts of the healing and I am enjoying this entire process completely. Being sent to the spa and the care that Karen gives me, which is part of your lift, is amazing! I am so happy I did this and look out when I am 6 or months out!! I could not be happier and would never go anywhere or recommend anyone or anywhere else. Oh and by the way, Dr. Quatela did so much more than I ever expected. He is a perfectionist and I just know there is nobody who will ever do anything more to me or my family! Thank you Dr. Quatela, Brooke, Karen, Jamie and all the team at the Lindsay House. I will tell anyone interested in getting work done, and an uplifting experience there is no place else to go! Thank you again!

I had always hated the shape of my nose but was too afraid of surgery to ever do anything about it. Finally, at almost 40, I looked into rhinoplasty with Dr Quatela and I can’t believe I did not do this sooner. Every staff member from the office personnel to the surgical staff to Dr Quatela himself made me feel so comfortable at every step of the process; I had never had any type of surgery before but this experience went so well I am actually considering other potential procedures down the road! My nose looks incredible, I still look like me but with a nose that now matches how I always pictured myself. Dr Quatela has helped me feel like myself finally! I would recommend Dr Quatela without question to anyone considering facial surgery, any fears or concerns you may have will be alleviated after your first consult knowing you are in the best hands for the job!
Mar 25, 2021
I’ve only been here for Botox injections so far but every single staff member I spoke with during my visit was incredibly friendly and helpful. I will definitely be returning!
Mar 25, 2021
Dr. Quatela has the skills and expertise to help me achieve my goals. He listens to my concerns and takes the time to evaluate and choose the appropriate procedure to achieve desired results. He explains the differences in the products he ultimately thinks I would benefit from. I also love the blogs he posts frequently on latest products or procedures. Keep those coming!

Excellent services throughout the entire process. Dr Koenig is an amazing professional. I will strongly recommend The Quatela Center for your aesthetic needs.
Mar 13, 2021
Dr Koenig did my breast augmentation (implants) back in 2016/2017 and I cant say enough about how comfortable the Staff made me, from beginning to end ill stay astounded by how amazing that experience was. i took his suggestions and I am so glad I did. He did amazing work and they still look incredible. More recently dr Koenig did some injections for me and again....wonderful service. Very gentle, great bedside manner, and amazing results. I know that I can go to Dr Koenig and say, "this is what I'm thinking...do whatever you think" and I'll leave looking amazing and not over done. I'll never go anywhere else. all the doctors and staff are incredible. highly recommended.
Mar 9, 2021
Two years ago I had a breast reduction surgery performed by Dr. Koenig. Every part of my experience was wonderful. My insurance made it difficult to get the surgery covered, but Melissa was so helpful and kind and took care of all it. Every staff member I interacted with was so nice. I get very anxious and stressed when it comes to medical procedures but this experience was stress free. Dr. Koenig did an amazing job on my surgery and my quality of life has improved so much! I cannot recommend the Quatela Center enough.
Mar 6, 2021
I am only 10 days post op from my rhinoplasty with Dr. Quatela and I’m already obsessed with the results. I can’t say enough how comfortable every nurse had made me feel throughout this whole process, especially during the first week of recovery. Being a perfectionist myself, the minute I walked into Quatela I knew I couldn’t of been in better hands. Thank you Dr. Quatela for my perfect new nose, I can’t wait to show it off!!
Mar 5, 2021
From start to finish, I felt I was with in the best hands possible of a caring yet highly professional atmosphere. Dr. Amalfi is a true artist, in her surgery as well as her actual artworks. She and her staff took such good care of me, always put me at ease, and the results are more than I could have asked for (even after just a week!). I can't wait to see the results after all the swelling goes down. In the time of COVID, the sterile but warm atmosphere of the surgical center was very reassuring. I can't recommend Dr. Amalfi and Quatela Center for Plastic Surgery more highly.
Feb 23, 2021
The staff is extremely welcoming. They answer any questions you have and make you feel comfortable. Dr. Lee is amazing. I highly recommend!
Feb 23, 2021
From the moment you walk in until you leave you are treated so wonderfully but every single person that works there. You really feel like Dr. Lee is your friend, she's personal, comforting and answers all the questions you have without an ounce of judgement. I highly recommend Quatela Center!
Feb 18, 2021
I live in New York Upstate and began looking for corrective surgery on my lips from a childhood screwup with scar tissue and loss of size. Interested in going anywhere in the country, I found the Quatela Center to be the most skilled and experienced for the work I wanted to do. Then, I connected with Dr. Lee and she developed a rapport and trust within me to bring health and balance back to my mouth, an area that I was insecure with for 25 years. Most doctors like to tell you what to do, not allow you to decide and she was the one who let me be the guide to my final look and comfort zone. The entire process was full of kindness and compassion for my concerns, traveling distance, and all during COVID-19 which didn’t seem to interfere at all. I would recommend the Quatela Center to anyone interested in corrective surgery, and 100% satisfaction in the end. I will be back if anything else needs to be done.
Feb 17, 2021
Absolutely LOVE Dr. Lee and the entire staff at Quatela Center! They are my go-to for everything!
Feb 16, 2021
I recently had upper eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) done by Dr. Heather Lee. I cannot tell you how pleased I am with the results. I was significantly healed within 5 days and there was very little swelling. Dr. Lee was patient and answered all my questions. The staff has been excellent and are very good at making you feel comfortable and welcome. My eyes look incredible and I'm so happy I chose Dr. Lee and the Quatela Center to have this procedure done!!
Feb 10, 2021
I had an amazing experience everytime I have been there. Dr Almafi an her team are professional friendly an always welcoming. I have never had a Dr spend such much time paying attention to details! Thank you guys such for making me feel normal again! Brenda Kunkel

I am a healthy 23 year old who has always had disproportionate fat around my stomach region. I decided to go with Dr. Amalfi, who performed liposuction on my abdomen, love handles, and lower back. First of all, the Quatela Center made me feel extremely cared for, as their staff and facilities are amazing. Dr. Amalfi is EXTREMLY talented and made me feel very comfortable trusting her with this process. It was really important for me to trust my surgeon completely , as with past surgeries, I wasn't entirely satisfied. I wanted someone who understood exactly the look I was going for. Dr. Amalfi understood me, and added even more of her expertise to bring my results to the next level. Dr. Amalfi made me feel like a friend - she was always cool, calm, and collected, and open to hearing all of my questions and concerns. Her excitement towards me and the surgery is what calmed my nerves the most, and her continued support and enthusiasm afterwards made me feel amazing. The incisions were so small and are barely noticeable, and my results are unlike anything I could have ever imagined. Dr. Amafli not only transformed my body, but literally transformed my entire life. Every time I look in the mirror I am reminded of what an incredible surgeon she is. I couldn't be any happier, and I am SO glad I chose Dr. Amalfi
Feb 2, 2021
Quatela is an amazing place. From the moment I schedule my consultation to every appointment I went to every one was SUPER NICE. Dr. Koenig was my surgeon & he did an FANTASTIC JOB ON MY MOMMY MAKEOVER!!! He has rebuilt my confidence. I love my new body. Thanks to the receptionist Jamie. Thanks to Lauren patient consultant, Nicole Lauren( Nurse) & everyone. 5 stars all around.

Amazing experience with Dr. Quatela and the entire staff. I first encounter Dr. Q and the staff at one of their free seminars on rhinoplasty. With my attendance came a free consultation. I took them up on the offer and met Brooke. She walked me through the process and even showed potential 'after' photos. After a very brief time, I decided to go with the surgery. Finding a time and recovery period was going to be tough for my busy schedule. They called and said they had a cancellation and could I do it next week! The staff at the Lindsay House went above and beyond making sure everything was in place for me to get the surgery with less than a weeks notice. I process that usually takes much longer. The surgery went well. Dr. Q and the staff in the surgery center made me very relaxed and comfortable. I took advantage of spending the night at the Carriage House. The next day I was home by 10am! I healed very well with barely any bruising or swelling. I could see results right away. Over the next year, my nose got better and better looking. Dr. Q followed up with many appointments. At the end of the year, the doctor was sure I was not at my final look and continued to use his talents to make it the best it could be. Now, I am done and could not be any happier!! I felt in good hands with Dr. Q and staff. They all cared and felt like family when I went in for visits. I will actually miss going in!! DO yourself the favor, if you are unhappy with your look, go visit the fantastic team at the Lindsay House!
Jan 21, 2021
Dr. Almalfi and the staff at Quatela are very patient and encouraging. From the initial consultation, Dr. Almalfi made me feel like a queen. She removed all of my doubts about having a procedure. She did a wonderful job and made me look like a queen!!!
Jan 19, 2021
I recently had lip injections with Dr. Lee and the process was truly amazing. The staff are so sweet and very professional. Dr. Lee was just as amazing and made me feel 100% comfortable. 10/10 for Quatela! ❤️
Jan 19, 2021
Dr. Amalfi was wonderful! I had a breast lift and brachioplasty after losing 70 lbs. She did a beautiful job. Everyone from the office staff to surgery center was a pleaseure to deal with. Very friendly, professional and top notch! Highly recommend. No more bat wings!!!
Jan 18, 2021
I recently had a rhinoplasty about 6 months ago and I could not be happier with the results. Dr. Quatela and his staff were so amazing and made the entire process stress free, even at only 18 years old. Every part of the experience was positive and I love everything about my new nose and Dr. Quatela’s work. I am so thankful for this amazing experience and highly recommend Quatela Center for Plastic Surgery!
Jan 15, 2021
I had a consultation with Dr.Koenig and he recommended that I wait due to some personal life issues going on. His recommendation just showed me that he is extremely considerate of his patients' lives in all aspects. I am excited to move forward with him for my surgery. Everyone at Quatela has been very nice this far.
Jan 9, 2021
My experience with Dr. Lee was phenomenal. I felt confident in her surgical skills, well informed, and nurtured by the Quatela team. The office runs like clockwork and your questions are always answered.Highly recommend..
Jan 8, 2021
I received a cosmetic surgery consultation at Quatela recently and Dr Heather Lee was fantastic at addressing my concerns as well as pointing out other aspects that had not occurred to me relating to my motor vehicle accident injuries. The staff is great and their historic facility is just amazing to see. Overall, a great experience...!
Jan 6, 2021
Ever since I was a teenager I’ve always felt self conscious about the way I have looked. I knew I always wanted a breast augmentation and I am 100% confident I chose the right place at the Quatela Center. Dr. Amalfi fulfilled my vision on what I wanted and what to expect. Her knowledge and passion in this field shows, without question. Every staff member I have encountered with treated me with the upmost respect. They went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable during my process and procedure. I trusted Dr. Amalfi and would definitely go back to see her if I need another surgery in the future. I highly recommend the Quatela Center for Plastic Surgery!
Dec 28, 2020
I recently had breast reconstruction done by Doctor Amalfi and I could not be happier I had breast cancer and had reconstruction approximately 5 years ago and was not happy I had lumps and bumps it just looked misshapen but since I've had reconstruction done by doctor Amalfi I feel more confident and it looks great I would recommend this for anybody she did a wonderful job and I couldn't be happier.
Dec 27, 2020
Dr. Koenig was amazing along with his exceptional staff. I was taken care of from start to finish. I recently had my one year follow up appointment and everyone was so happy for me at how outstanding my results were. Dr. Koenig and the staff supported me through the entire process. I would recommend the Quatela Center and Dr. Koenig to anyone considering plastic surgery. They take the time to educate and inform you about the procedures and a realistic expectation on what to expect. Thank you to you all!!!
Dec 7, 2020
Choosing a doctor is something I do not take lightly, let alone a plastic surgeon. After weeks of research, I chose Dr. Ashley Amalfi and I could not be happier with my decision. She walked in the room for the first time, was so warm and welcoming that I genuinely felt like we had been friends for years. This was huge in my first impression of her as she was someone I was trusting my physical appearance to! She talked me though all my questions and fears leaving me feeling comfortable and confident with my decision. One year ago, I had a breast reduction and am kicking myself that I didn’t find her sooner to have it done! I suffered from horrible neck, back and shoulder pain for years, where most nights I cried it hurt so badly. I can honestly say from day 1 post-op, I have felt like a complete weight has been lifted off of me and I haven’t had a bit of that pain anymore. I have her to thank for that! She is an incredible surgeon and artist who takes pride in everything she does! Dr. Amalfi is a Godsend and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone!
Nov 17, 2020
I highly recommend Dr. Koenig at the Quatela Center for Plastic Surgery. Always a very welcoming experience, I've had two surgeries now and have booked my third. I appreciate their recommendations as they care, but also care about safety and put that into the highest priority. My husband likes that I'm in good hands as well 🙂
Nov 17, 2020
I recently went to Quatela to see Dr. Amalfi to have some injectibles put in under my eyes. I could not be happier with my experience. First off, they are taking every precaution with covid and things felt safe and clean. Second, everyone I dealt with was helpful and friendly. Dr. Amalfi is warm, experienced and did a wonderful job. She explained exactly what she would do, how it would feel, and what might happen in the days after. Which was all correct. The needle isn't bad, a little strange. One eye did water a bit, but painful it was not. I did bruise under one eye for about four days after and the other eye was perfect from day two. The first day I could see the slight change of having the fillers, but I didn't see the results I was looking for until day two. Day two I woke up, and as I said one eye was perfect! It looked lighter and brighter and I immediately felt I had the youthful appearance I was hoping for. The second eye got better and better each day and was a small price to pay. I was told this procedure can last up to a year and I'd say $525 a year is worth every penny. I will be back. I did feel a bit of soreness the first night, and I used the cold compress they gave me before bedtime. Just thought I'd mention. So if you are considering anything like this definitely go see Dr. Amalfi.
Nov 9, 2020
Dr. Quatela and his staff provide excellent patient care and expertise. I had an eyebrow transplant completed with Dr. Quatela. He was very professional and took the time to explain everything in detail. He really listened to what I was looking for in my eyebrows. Dr. Quatela really understood how much this procedure meant to me and my self esteem. I am beyond happy with the outcome and would recommend him to anyone!
Nov 4, 2020
I am 2 weeks post op from a breast augmentation with Dr. Koenig & I am very pleased with how professional he has been, along with the staff at the Quatela center during the whole process & I am extremely pleased with my results! 10/10 will recommend to anyone looking for any procedure to see Dr. Koenig for a consultation!
Nov 4, 2020
I can’t say enough about my experience with the staff at Quatela, and especially Dr. Amalfi. She is an exceptionally talented surgeon to say the least. What stands out is her genuine care and compassion shown towards her patients. Her authenticity shines through. I am beyond pleased with the results.
Nov 3, 2020
I had an exceptional experience with Dr. Ashley Amalfi and the staff at the Quatela Center for Plastic Surgery. I was recently diagnosed with breast cancer and have had two breast reconstruction surgeries with Dr. Amalfi, which included breast expander placement, followed by exchange of the expanders for implants with lipografting. From the very beginning, Dr. Amalfi approached my case with such care, compassion, and truly listened to my concerns and questions about the reconstruction process. She has a wonderful bedside manner, unlike any surgeon that I have previously met. She reviewed surgical options available, and recommendations which would give me the most desired results. She is a very talented surgeon at the forefront of her field, and uses the most up-to-date techniques which led to wonderful results. Every staff member that I interacted with at the Quatela Center was kind, compassionate, made me feel incredibly comfortable and I always felt I was in excellent hands. For my second surgery with Dr. Amalfi I had the opportunity to have my surgery at the Lindsey House Surgery Center, which was also an outstanding part of my experience. The center is beautiful, clean, and has the most technologically up-to-date equipment. I had a great experience with Margaret Brown, CRNA, who listened to all my concerns with my previous anesthesia experiences, and was able to control my pain, while preventing several post-op issues I've had in the past. After being given the diagnosis of breast cancer this past year, my surgical experience with Dr. Amalfi and her team has been an incredibly healing part of my journey, allowing me to regain dignity and confidence. I am beyond grateful for everything Dr. Amalfi and her team have done for me and would highly recommend her to anyone facing breast surgery.
Oct 27, 2020
Dr Amalfi is wonderful, she is kind, caring and made me feel comfortable right away! The entire staff at Quatela is outstanding and I would recommend them to everyone.
Oct 20, 2020
I have been going to Quatela for the past 8 years and they are by far the most professional and client friendly place. Dr Koenig is wonderful he is always honest and explains everything thoroughly before any procedure. Every time I go I am treated so goodby all the staff. I always refer friends and family to dr Koenig because he is simply the best!
Oct 17, 2020
I had done my homework and interviewed a number of surgeons before selecting Dr. Koenig, I knew immediately I wanted him to be my doctor. His depth of knowledge and breadth of experience was unmatched in the Dr.’s I had met with. I had the “mommy makeover” surgery and leading up to the procedures the staff was excellent and incredibly supportive. I hate hospitals and being in the setting of the Lindsay house was actually comforting. The day of my procedure the surgical team was excellent, they introduced themselves and took the time to answer my questions. Dr. Koenig has an exceptional bedside manner and I felt completely comfortable in his care. After the procedure I stayed at the carriage house, which I highly recommend if you are getting the mommy makeover. The nurse that was there was incredibly helpful. From the first day after through all of my follow ups the staff and Dr. Koenig were great. If you are looking for an exceptional surgeon and experience, you can trust Dr. Koenig and his staff.
Oct 13, 2020
I cannot thank Dr. Lee and the fantastic staff of nurses at the Quatela Center, for blessing me with a new lower eye lid after MOHS surgery. Dr. Lee reconstructed my entire left lower eye lid, by grafting part of my right lower eye lid over. She is an angel in facial reconstruction. It is difficult to put into words the excellence of her talent, professionalism and personal patient care. Both my eyes look and function normally after just seven weeks. She was even able to transplant some eyelashes! I'll be wearing mascara again soon! Dr. Lee is an artist in facial reconstruction. I will forever be grateful! Thank you Dr. Lee.:) 🙂

I had my nose done last year by Dr. Quatela and I am obsessed! No need to consult anyone else when it comes to your face. He gave me the exact look I wanted and it is so natural. I look like myself, but better! My experience was flawless. Every time I called the office I was met with friendly, helpful, polite and well-spoken staff members. The secretaries are always dolls. His patient coordinator/consultant Brooke is beyond knowledgeable and does an amazing job at your first appointment to make you informed, answer all questions and give you a computerized image of what your “after” results will likely be. The nurses in office and in surgery were all top knotch. The NP who did my pre-surgical visit was thorough, kind and professional. My anesthesiologist took great care to go over my medical history and make sure I would have a safe experience. Dr. Quatela himself is extremely talented and his confidence in his work makes you feel confident in his hands! He clearly takes pride in his work and the results he gets are phenomenal! (Keep in mind with the nose job pics on the site that some are taken very early on in the healing process. Mine is personally at week 6 when it’s a full 52 weeks to heal. My results got better and better!!) I highly recommend a visit to the Quatela Center. Couldn’t be happier. Thank you to all of you!
Oct 8, 2020
Dr. Quatela and the staff members continue to provide excellent care, customer service and expertise. My six hour surgery started at 6 am and I was greeted by Dr. Quatela in a suit. This is a true testament to his professionalism and ability to create trust with his patients. It has been four years since my initial surgery and Dr. Quatela continues to provide follow up services to ensure I am happy with the procedure results. Thank you for doing so much more than changing my appearance. I will continue to recommend Dr. Quatela to anyone, near and far!!
Oct 2, 2020
Dr. Amalfi is highly-skilled, compassionate and caring. She spends the time necessary to fully discuss care options and makes herself readily available via cell phone. I had an unusual situation and she contacted other doctors and did additional research to better understand the issue. I have the upmost confidence and trust she will do what is best for me. I highly recommend her!

I recently underwent abdominoplasty with Dr. Koenig after having lost a significant amount of weight over the past 5 years. My results have been incredible and I am thrilled with how I now look. I had very minor complications after my surgery but was always put at ease by Dr. Koenig and staff and was scheduled for multiple follow-up appointments in order to ensure healing. I was never made to wait over 5 minutes for my appointments and the surgical center runs like a well- oiled machine. I am now 8 weeks post-op and can't believe what I see. Every day gets a little better as swelling continues to subside and I have bought my first ever bikini. I cannot recommend Dr. Koenig and the Quatela Center enough; my expectations have been exceeded in every way possible and I rave to everyone about my experience. THANK YOU to everyone at Quatela but most of all to Dr. Koenig- he is truly an artist and has perfected his craft while maintaining a warm, comforting bedside manner. I am so grateful and finally have the body I've always worked for!

Exceptionally kind, caring, and skilled staff and practitioners. They always take time to address all of my questions and provide excellent instructions for after care. This is a top notch practice.

The Quatela Center provided exceptional care throughout my entire experience. The staff is amazing and made me feel comfortable every step of the way. I am so happy with my outcomes and how well my healing process as been! I have recommended them to my family, friends and coworkers if they ever want/need plastic surgery.

I want to start of this review by saying how much I love and appreciate the work that Dr. Amalfi did on me! She is amazing ! I would trust her again with any procedure, she answered all my questions without hesitation. I had a mommy makeover 3 weeks ago and already my body looks great. The staff was polite and professional! I honestly don’t have one complaint about my experience at the Quatela center. I highly recommend Dr. Amalfi

I recently had a breast augmentation done by Dr. Amalfi and her staff! I am 1 week out today and I couldn't be happier with my results that I know are going to be even better as my healing time goes on! Every staff member I have worked with from my initial consultation, the pre-op, operation itself, and follow up appointments have been amazing. They answer all questions that you may have. Dr. Amalfi and Melissa were wonderful to work with. I told Dr. Amalfi what I wanted to achieve and she did exactly that. If I ever were to need a surgery again I would definitely go to back to see Dr. Amalfi. I highly recommend the Quatela Center for Plastic Surgery!

I met with Dr. Ashley Amalfi for fillers and botox and right away I knew I had come to the right person! She was very knowledgeable and made me feel comfortable right from the start. If you’re looking to get any cosmetic procedures done, or even just looking for a consult, I highly recommend her! My results are perfection!!

I recently had a surgical procedure done by Dr Koenig he did an amazing job and the staff could not have been any nicer ! Top notch service from start to finish

I had an excellent experience with Dr. Amalfi. She is very kind, very thorough, professional & I am VERY IMPRESSED with the results just a few days after gynecomastia surgery. Nurses are very gentle & professional. Everything was explained thoroughly. Practice itself is extremely clean & comfortable. Communication between office staff, doctors, nurses & patients is above & beyond! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for cosmetic surgery in the Rochester, NY area. KEEP UP THE EXCELLENT WORK!!

Dr. Amalfi and Dr. Lee are the kindest and most talented in their specialty. Through the entire process leading up to my procedure I felt safe and comfortable and most of all seen and heard. My breast reduction was beautifully done by Dr. Amalfi, her delicate craftsmanship is an absolute dream come true. Dr. Lee removed a cyst on my eyelid where I had zero bruising and minimal swelling. Women supporting women is what the Quatela center is all about and I am forever grateful.

Dr. Amalfi and the staff at Quatela Center for Plastic Surgery are exceptional in their professionalism and compassion. My personal journey has been a long one that lead me there. Three years ago I was diagnosed with breast cancer and had a bi-lateral mastectomy. After 3 failed attempts at breast reconstruction by other plastic surgeons (told there was nothing more they could do) I was mentally and physically defeated. Then I heard about Dr. Amalfi at Quatela Center for Plastic Surgery. After my consultation with Dr. Amalfi my spirit and hope was renewed. On July 16, 2020 I had my 4th reconstruction at the Lindsey House Surgical Center. I can not stress enough the compassion and wonderful care I was shown. Also, during this epidemic every precaution was taken to ensure the safety of everyone. I am very happy to say my surgery was a success and I am very overwhelmed with my results. Thank you Dr. Amalfi for giving me my self confidence and life back! I am forever grateful!

In May of 2018 I was diagnosed with breast cancer. After learning that I tested positive for the Chek2 gene mutation, which can cause breast cancer, I elected to have a bi-lateral mastectomy. In November I had the surgery and began the long process of breast reconstruction. I had expanders, then implants, then had my first fat grafting surgery. I was just not happy with my results. I kept telling my plastic surgeon that I didn't like the way my breasts looked. They were too big, practically sliding down my chest, and I had horrible rippling. His response was that we could TRY another round of fat grafting, but that he couldn't put smaller implants in because it would result in even more rippling. And that unfortunately rippling was very common and very hard to get rid of. Basically I walked out of there thinking that I was stuck with what I had. But I decided to go for a second opinion and it was one of the best decisions I've ever made! From the moment I walked into Dr. Amalfi's office I felt like I was VALUED and that every single person there, from the extremely helpful and sweet women at the front desk, to the caring nurses, to the well organized coordinator, to Dr. Amalfi herself.....they all came together as a team and made me feel like I was their most important patient and that I would be taken care of, and taken care of well. After my thorough consultation Dr. Amalfi assured me she could help me and that she would revise my reconstruction so that I would be happy with my results. Dr. Amalfi changed my life! She removed my implants, put smaller ones in that fit my frame better, and did fat grafting to get rid of any rippling I had. Not only is Dr. Amalfi an amazing doctor, but she is a talented artist as well! Her eye and talent for making things beautiful makes her an unbelievably skilled physician. I truly felt like her masterpiece! I highly recommend the Quatela Center for Plastic Surgery, and Dr. Amalfi specifically. It will change your life!

Had a deviated septum and a broken nose for around 8 years and he was able to both straighten it out and fix my breathing with one surgery and a relatively easy recovery. I was extremely impressed with the results. Very happy. Staff was amazing, communication was great, would 100% recommend!
Jul 23, 2020
I recently underwent a mommy makeover with Dr. Amalfi and I am so incredibly grateful I decided to go on this journey with her! After multiple pregnancies in a short span of time, I needed to repair a very large separation in my tummy and wanted to regain some volume after nursing. From the very beginning I knew I was in knowledgeable and caring hands. She went over all of my options, carefully explaining every detail. I had an abdominoplasty with tummy tuck and fat transfer to the breast area. I am only 3 weeks out and am already so happy with my results. Her patient consultant Melissa was so thorough and has been my biggest cheerleader. I one thousand times over will recommend Dr. Amalfi and her staff to anyone needing or wanting surgery.
Jul 20, 2020
I could not be happier with my results. The staff here are so kind and professional. Dr. Amalfi is a perfectionist and gave me exactly what I wanted. She goes above and beyond for her patients. I am so glad I chose her as my surgeon and not my original choice.
Jul 20, 2020
I recently had the pleasure of working with Dr. Heather Lee at Quatela. I came to Dr. Lee in need of something for my under eye puffiness. Upon my arrival I was was greeted by the wonderful staff of Quatela which made me feel good. During my consultation with Dr. Lee I felt as though I was her only patient of the day. She took her time to explain the services that would be best for me. She was very pleasant and down to earth. She is extremely competent and she made me feel comfortable. After reviewing all of my options with Dr. Lee I decided to go with the Restylane fillers. I was so blown away from the results when Dr. Lee completed my service that I actually cried. Dr. Lee did an awesome job and through her work she restored an element of confidence in me that I had lost. I plan to return in a couple of weeks for another procedure with Dr. Lee and I'm confident that I will be equally as pleased with my results. Thank you Dr. Lee and I'll see you soon!
Jul 14, 2020
Dr. Koenig is amazing for so many reasons! After breastfeeding 4 babies, at the age of 47 I finally decided to have a unilateral lift and breast augmentation. Dr. Koenig took his time in my consult to size me for implants that fit my frame and active lifestyle, while also explaining all of the surrounding details that accompany a surgery. His experience and knowledge is insurmountable. Dr. Koenig’s bedside manner is kind, gentle, attentive and confident. The office staff and nurses from start to finish were top notch...friendly, reassuring and contributed to my overall body positivity. The Quatela Surgery Center did an amazing job maintaining all Covid regulations and procedures to ensure the safety of staff and patients! I cannot express my thanks to everyone there who has taken their time with me, especially Dr. Koenig. I am 1-month post op and feel amazing...more confident than ever and empowered as a woman and mother!! Greta Ledgerwood BSN RN- patient

Where to begin? I was diagnosed in 2013 with breast cancer. I chose to do a double mastectomy. I eventually had implants inserted. I have NEVER been happy with the implants. They looked odd, were hard to the touch and overall had too many issues. No matter how many times I saw a plastic surgeon and the many procedures that were done, nothing ever changed. I, by the grace of God, found Dr. Ashley Amalfi. My very first appointment with her was so refreshing. She immediately understood my issues, saw my issues, and, without even taking a breath, had a plan for me. Not only is Dr. Amalfi professional, but so very personable and caring. I very recently had my breast surgery done with Dr. Amalfi. I wish I could express my sincere gratefulness and appreciation and joy with the finished result. Not only for the first time do my breasts look REAL, but they are soft to the touch as breast tissue should be. Dr. Amalfi is a TRUE ASSET to the Quatela Center in my opinion. For the first time since 2013, I feel like a woman again, and don't have to hide my breasts any longer. I am forever indebted to Dr. Amalfi!
Jun 24, 2020
Dr. Amalfi performed my implant removal surgery, and the entire journey had been beyond my expectation! She and her entire team of nurses took the time to truly listen and treated me as a human being rather than a number. In a nutshell, Dr Amalfi posses excellent G-d given talents, coupled with awesome people skills make her AN EXCELLENT SURGEON. If I had to do it all over again, I will go back to her care!
Mar 6, 2020
I cannot express how thankful I am to Dr. Koenig and his staff they took the best care of me. I had at least three consultations with Dr. Koenig after a botched breast reduction surgery and the surgeon refused to fix the mess he created. I was very depressed after that experience and was have a difficult time trusting another surgeon and paying to correct the worst possible outcome from the reduction. Dr. Koenig was very calm and reassured me that everything was going to be fine. Surgery went well and my recovery was fine with no complications and I loved the results. I would definitely recommend Dr. Koenig and the Quatela Center.
Mar 4, 2020
Dr. Lee was wonderful to work with along with all of the other staff. I could tell they were truly into helping me find the best procedure that matches my needs. I love my results and will definitely be coming back! Super beautiful office 🙂 best place you can go in rochester
Mar 4, 2020
I recently had a breast lift and implant exchange with Dr.Koenig. Dr.Koenig did my first augmentation as well many years ago. After having children and breast feeding I was in need of a lift. I could not be more happier with my outcome as I am still healing. My confidence and how I feel about myself has completely changed and I feel so good about myself. The staff is amazing. Everyone you come into contact with makes you feel so great. Dr.Koenig makes you feel so comfortable and is so full knowledge. He is a wonderful Plastic Surgeon. Anyone considering seeing Dr.Koenig or anyone else in the practice should absolutely go!
Feb 25, 2020
I am a recent college graduate who had a rhinoplasty and chin implant performed by Dr. Quatela last summer. Despite my initial nervousness about undergoing surgery, I have come to view my decision to place my trust in the skilled hands of Dr. Quatela and his professional and caring staff at the Lindsay House as one of the best decisions I have made in my life. I am beyond happy and satisfied with the results!
Feb 3, 2020
I got my nose job done here a year ago and I'm so glad that I did! All of the staff are so professional and friendly. I made the right decision in trusting Dr.Quatela to do my nose, he has a lot of experience and i'm so happy with the results. I felt so welcomed there from the beginning and they really want you to look the best version of you. I would recommend this place to anyone.
Jan 30, 2020
Dr. Lee is incredibly skilled, talented, and personable. My boyfriend found out he was getting surgery 72 hours after seeing a dermatologist to cut out the skin cancer on his nose. Throughout all of the ups and downs of our initial shock, the staff were wonderful, accommodating, and extremely thorough with everything relating to pre-op, surgery, and post op. Dr. Lee and Lisa, our consultant, were wonderful. We actually looked forward to going back and seeing them, along with getting further follow up regarding the healing process. My boyfriend is relatively young to have had a situation like this. Dr. Lee assured us she would do whatever she could to maximize his quality of life and give him results for longevity. His initial surgery was in Dec 2019 and just a few weeks later, you really can’t even notice any changes to his face. We are extremely happy with the results and grateful to have a team of professionals caring for him throughout the duration of his healing. THANK YOU DR. LEE!
Jan 28, 2020
Any plastic surgery, or reconstructive work. I just recently had a breast reduction by Dr Amelfi.she is wonderful. The whole female staff is caring, conscientious, and knowledgeable. I can't say enough about how pleased I am with the results of my breast reduction. Sorry I didn't do it years ago. Wonderful people to do business with and have utmost confidence in
Jan 21, 2020
I recently had surgery with Dr. Ashley Amalfi. Not only is Dr. Amalfi a competent, skilled surgeon, she is kind, compassionate as well as relatable. She took the time to call me from her home the night of surgery to check on me and how I was feeling post-op. Her and the entire staff at the Quatela center made me feel comfortable and confident with my care right from the very first consultation appointment.
Jan 18, 2020
Don’t know where to start! Everything was great- they make you feel welcome and really take their time with you and explain what they feel would be the best for you. I loved Dr. Lee and the PA Alyssa! Front desk was great too! So happy with my lips so far!!! Thanks again!
Jan 6, 2020
Dr Lee performed my surgery in April to improve my breathing and also change the appearance of my nose and it was absolutely life changing! I could not be happier with the results, I’ve never felt more confident and my breathing has never been better! Dr Lee is so kind, compassionate and knowledgeable and I trust her completely. Recovery was a breeze and the staff there is wonderful. I can not thank her enough.
Nov 13, 2019
Highly recommend this place for lip injections. I had been nervous and had my worries but Dr. Lee put them all at ease. Not only is she knowledgeable and attentive, but she’s committed to making me happy with the results. Couldn’t be anymore satisfied with the outcome. Thank you!
Nov 2, 2019
From the first consultation, I knew I could trust Dr Koenig 100%. He thoroughly explains everything and never pressures you to make a decision. He is professional, caring, and has this way of making you feel like a rock star. Highly recommend Dr Koenig and his entire staff.
Jul 5, 2019
My daughter has never liked her ears and she is already so happy with them! We just barely had the surgery around 3 weeks ago by Dr. Quayle’s and she is wearing her hair up, and is already so so so happy. Dr. Q got her surgery done after just a few months of us going, and just 3 appointments!
Jun 22, 2019
I've entrusted Dr. Quatela with two procedures and have been extremely happy with the results of both. I chose him specifically because he's simply the best! Just know you spend the majority of your time with his staff, who are caring, personable, professional, and responsive. They took really good care of me throughout the entire process.

After I had my 2nd child via C-section my stomach never went back to normal and I had what women call "kangaroo pouch". I went back and forth trying to decide if I wanted to have the "tummy tuck performed or not. After I looked into cool sculpting and realized that I had mostly skin and very little fat I realized my best course of action would be a tummy tuck. I chose Quatela based on a family friend's recent visit and great experience. From the consultation through out my 3 week pre opt appointment ( where I am right now in the stages) I have not had not one bad experience. Everyone is very friendly and makes you feel important. Dr. Koenig is a great personable guy who clearly explained the process and always answered all my questions/concerns. He had a great personality and always made me feel comfortable. I walk out of the office confidant knowing that I received the best care and knowledge. I would highly recommend.
Mar 30, 2019
Lindsay House is the place to go for cosmetic surgery. Dr. Quatela is kind, gentle and an exceptional surgeon. I have twice trusted him and had an excellent experience and result. Everyone involved in the practice is respectful, courteous, and friendly. Another reason I recommend Dr. Quatela is the profound respect I have for the mission of the Hugs Foundation, which he founded. With a team of surgeons, he changes the lives of children with facial deformities through the gift of surgery. This compassion is certainly the key to his success in every procedure.
Mar 1, 2019
Dr. Lee is fantastic. As a 30 something woman who struggling with androgenic alopecia (genetic hairloss) with no explanation, I've spent years finding out if it's hormones, stress, with no real options to help. I finally was able to get a hair transplant with lots of support from my husband to help me feel confident again. I'm about 6 months out after surgery and seeing great results. The before and after pictures prove it! I have a ways to go but I'm so hopeful about the future! Dr. Lee is a skilled surgeon and I feel so comfortable with her. I've even used other services such as botox and Volbella lip injections offered at Quatela with her because I love her conservative approach to achieve natural results to help me age well. She is not only a wonderful physician, but I think as a plastic surgeon you need to be an artist as well. I'm a nurse and I've worked with many surgeons. She is a rare gem of being both down-to-Earth and also highly talented with her medical skills. I hope to be a patient of hers for a long time. The staff at Quatela is great as well. It's the kind of place I would love to go just to hang out! I wish Dr. Lee all the best as she builds her practice!
Jan 23, 2019
Absolutely amazing staff! They make you feel so comfortable at ever appointment. Dr Koenig is the best, I put my trust in him and he didn’t let me down ! I can’t stress enough how great this place is. The day of surgery the staff was so comforting to me. Amazing job! If you are looking for a plastic surgeon this is the place to go!
Jan 20, 2019
Dr. Quatela and all of his staff at the Lindsay House are exceptional professionals! They are detail oriented in presenting procedures, outcomes and options. You know exactly what to expect during and after surgery. Dr Quatela has a wonderful bed side manner. He is very thorough and caring while simultaneously being quite the perfectionist and artist. I had extensive facial plastic surgery and felt very safe and confident in his care. Dr. Quatela's staff is just as attentive and my post op care was wonderful. Everything was explained to me in specific detail each time I went for a check up. It was a huge decision for me to elect to have the surgery and I am so happy I did. I look 15 years younger and feel great! Thank you to everyone at the Lindsay House!! Now, I am enjoying the med spa!
Jan 7, 2019
I had Dr. Lee remove a pesky mole on the side of my face...great patient interaction, Wonderful job (cannot even see a scar) and reasonable. She is very skilled and very personable...she said I was a good healer, but really my recovery was because she is such a skilled surgeon.
Dec 24, 2018
Dr. Q has the best bed-side manner of any physician I have ever met. He listens extremely carefully and is very clear that he is working for you and your concerns- never pushing his personal preferences. He offers all available options and shares his amazing experience and makes sure you understand everything. He chooses only the best professionals to work with him, and Rochester is lucky to have him.
Aug 6, 2018
I was looking for a local surgeon to perform my top surgery procedure (double incision technique) as part of my medical transition from female to male. Dr. Kalnoki is an amazing surgeon. I'm beyond happy with my results, and she also took my insurance, which made the whole experience even better. Everyone at the Lindsay House is extremely friendly and helpful. Definitely would recommend Dr. K for any other trans-masc folks in the area!
Jul 29, 2018
Dr.Quatela and staff are amazing. Everyone is so professional and helpful. I would reccomend to all.
Jun 13, 2018
The Quatela Center for Plastic Surgery at the Lindsay House is beautiful and welcoming. The entire staff works diligently to make sure you are satisfied with their services and your results. I highly recommend the Quatela Center to anyone considering plastic surgery. You are treated with respect and professionalism from the reception desk to the operating room. Dr. Kalnoki is very personable, realistic, and knowledgeable. She listened to my wants and made them happen. I could not be happier with the results of my medical breast reduction. From my consultation, to my pre-op appointment, to surgery, to my post-op appointments, I have felt confident and at ease knowing I was in great hands with Dr. Kalnoki, the nurses, and the staff. In addition, Melissa Urso was an amazing patient consultant throughout the process.
Apr 27, 2018
Love Dr koenig. He is a kind, patient surgeon. I miss you Dr koenig and Laura too.
Apr 11, 2018
Wonderful work. The results of my facelift are astounding. It took away a good 15 years of sags.
Apr 7, 2018
Extremely happy with my results! All of my research led me to Dr. Koenig, it was proven correct during my consultation and even more so after seeing my results. I am almost 60 years old and like most women in their 50's gained in the middle section and Dr. Koenig brought me back to 20 years ago. Staff was excellent! Everyone exceeded all my expectations!
Mar 29, 2018
Dr. Koenig is one of the best known plastic surgeons in Rochester, NY. He was referred to me by my hair stylist who see's various surgeons end-product daily and she was correct. The skill he has provides the most beautiful and natural results that people are not able to tell I've even had work done. He has amazing bedside manners, is caring, knowledgeable, kind, compassionate and truly concerned with the patients well being. I would highly recommend Dr. Koenig for any plastic surgery work being considered.
