Quatela Center for Plastic Surgery - Rochester

Dr. Amalfi was incredible from the moment I met her for my consultation. She listened to all my concerns/questions and gave me her advice on what procedure(s) to do. Dr. Amalfi was very honest and to the point, which I appreciated. Melissa, her patient consultant, was also phenomenal. Melissa was quick to get me answers I was looking for, and I bugged her a lot! There was never a moment I felt like I was being annoying. She kept assuring me my questions were normal and she was there to answer. The day of surgery, I felt at ease as soon as I entered the facility. I was the only one there, and I was taken care of immediately. All the nurses came to introduce themselves, including the anesthesiologist who had a few questions for me. Dr Amalfi then came in to mark me up and was so confident and excited for the surgery. She was very personable. After surgery, I went home and received a call later that day from Dr Amalfi checking in on me. Since then, the nurses have been able to quickly answer my questions, and being able to see Dr Amalfi each week has been so helpful. The nurses there are fantastic, and know exactly what they are doing…you can tell they have been highly trained. I would highly recommend Quatela, especially Dr. Amalfi. I also highly recommend her podcast “lipstick and Lipo!” Thank you for everything!!"

I recently underwent a tummy tuck procedure with Dr. Peter Krasniak, and I cannot praise his expertise enough. From the initial consultation to the post-operative care, Dr. Krasniak and his team provided exceptional service.

Dr. Krasniak was not only friendly and approachable but also incredibly informative. He took the time to thoroughly explain the procedure, addressing all my questions and concerns with patience and clarity. His knowledge and skill were evident throughout the entire process.

The results of my tummy tuck are beyond my expectations — Dr. Krasniak truly performed an amazing transformation. The precision and care taken during the surgery have left me feeling more confident and comfortable in my own skin.

The facility where the procedure took place was immaculately clean, and the staff were friendly and accommodating. Every step of the way, I felt supported and well-cared for.

I highly recommend Dr. Krasniak for anyone considering cosmetic surgery. His professionalism, skill, and genuine care for his patients makes him a standout in his field.

Dr Amalfi is absolutely incredible. I had a prior breast aug about 15 years ago and recently breast fed my first baby for one year, so as you can imagine I was well overdue for an upgrade. I instantly felt at ease within the first two minutes of meeting Dr Amalfi - I fully trusted her and knew I made the right decision choosing her. Having implants at the time of my consult, I was not able to try on different sizes to help determine which size to go with. I told Dr Amalfi what I was thinking, she provided her expert opinion and squeezed me in for surgery two weeks later. I am OBSESSED - I absolutely love them! I have struggled with my body post baby, and I can truly say I finally feel confident, beautiful and comfortable in my own skin again! My entire experience at the Quatela Center was amazing - Dr Amalfi and her entire staff went above and beyond to make me comfortable and confident I made the right decision.

I had a consult with Dr. Amalfi on March 11, 2025. After 3 c-sections and weight loss I felt it was time to look into a mommy makeover. From the time I called to inquire, the staff was amazing. I dealt with Dr. Amalfi's scheduling coordinator, Melissa, who helped me through scheduling and just general questions about the process. At the consult, Dr. Amalfi and her staff made me feel at ease. Having people look at your problem areas can be intimidating but I felt very comfortable. She took the time to address my concerns and came up with a plan. I was ready to have the surgery done asap and they happen to have a cancellation in 6 days so I took it. Everything went seamless even though we only had 6 days from consult to pre-op and all the in between details for a major surgery. I am now almost 4 weeks post op and already love my results. My recovery was fast and problem-free. I would go through this process again with Dr. Amalfi with no hesitation. It was worth every penny and pain that comes along with a major surgery!

My experiences with Dr. Montague for the last few years have been excellent. The steps to slow down facial aging involves listening, examining, discussions and recommendations. I am always heard and valued as a patient. He is methodical with injectables and utilizes the right products for best outcomes. Most recently he did a MOHS surgery closure and I can’t find the scar! We recently arrived at a plan that will refresh my 70+ facial features and I can’t wait for the planned event. I always leave the office with knowledge and confidence in my decisions.

Quatela Center for Plastic Surgery, Dr. Krasniak and the whole team there are just wonderful.
I elected to have breast reduction surgery to help alleviate chronic pain. The entire team at Quatela were compassionate and professional. They worked closely with me to ensure all of my questions were answered and concerns were addressed. The nursing staff the day of surgery and during the post-op visits were very kind, understanding and gentle with me, as I got used to my new body. Dr. Krasniak is a true professional, he is kind and gentle and very smart! He did an excellent job with the incisions, I cannot believe how dainty they are. I am healing great and am very pleased with my results!
I would absolutely recommend anyone thinking of any type of plastic surgery to visit Quatela.
Special thanks to Dr. Krasniak, Bridget, Naomi and Mark - you are a great team!!!

Dr. Almafi was fantastic throughout the entire process of my mastopexy (breast lift w/auto augmentation). She has a caring and comforting bedside manner. Dr. Almafi personally called to check up on me the night after my surgery, which speakes volumes about her character.

I just had my 3 month post op. appointment and my results are better than expected! I'm glad I chose to go through this journey with her!!

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.

As a 34 year old, mother of three little ones (5, 3, and 1) who breastfed for a total of four years, the full perky breasts I once had were now deflated and no longer perky. I longed for a full breast appearance and a nipple in a more aesthetic location. Dr. Amalfi executed my wishes to perfection with the nipple placement, nipple size and overall breast appearance that I desired.

I opted for Motiva 425CC implants on the left and right breast. A bilateral lift was simultaneously performed at the time of the implants as well. Galaflex aka the internal bra was also used to help maintain the perkiness over time.

My main two concerns were the incisions, which even at just 2 weeks out are healing up beautifully, along with caring for my family afterwards during recovery.

I had surgery on a Friday, and my kids were back at home on Saturday night! I had my husbands help for the remainder of the weekend, but come Monday morning I was able to find a way to get through my day without lifting, or straining. This included getting two kids to and from school while navigating the day with the 1 year old! The recovery was much less painful than I anticipated and would only describe the pain as soreness and discomfort. I can’t say I was in “pain” at all!

And if my testimonial wasn’t enough… my brutally honest 5 year old told me that she “likes my new ones better because they’re not ‘down’ like my old ones.”

I’m beyond happy with the result and overall experience with Dr. Amalfi. I immediately felt sexy again and proud to have done something for myself!

Photo is before and at 3 week post op appointment. Before I wore a C bra but barely filled that out. After I’d say i am a Full D or small DD. At 3 weeks I can resume any and all activity as long as it is comfortable to perform.

I am 3 months out from a mommy makeover, I am 32 years old, I have had two kids so my breast lost all its perkiness and fullness! My stomach wasn’t by any means huge, but there was extra skin and fat that I just couldn’t get rid of. I couldn’t take looking at myself in mirror or wearing certain clothes anymore. I finally looked around at surgeons i ultimately looked at multiple different ones and I was brought back to Amalfi, she was where my gut was telling me to go, and meeting with her, got rid of any doubt or fear I had, she was WONDERFUL, talked me through the whole process, what size would look good with my body frame. She reassured me of everything and I never felt more comfortable! She called me the night hours after my surgery to check up on me, the office is so fast at getting back to you with any concerns in healing process, and we’re always quick to listen but also reassure that everything was ok. 3 months out and I’m obsessed with looking at myself in the mirror, always wearing shirts that show my stomach and cleavage! I’m in love!!! And so happy and would absolutely recommend Ashley!
