Quatela Center for Plastic Surgery

What Quatela Center for Plastic Surgery does

The Quatela Center for Plastic Surgery is a private, founder-led medical practice headquartered in the historic Lindsay House in Rochester, NY, providing surgical and nonsurgical aesthetic services across facial plastic surgery, breast enhancement, and body contouring. Founded by Dr. Vito C. Quatela, a triple board-certified facial plastic surgeon and current president of the International Federation of Facial Plastic Surgery Societies, the practice operates a team of five board-certified plastic surgeons and runs the AAAHC-accredited Lindsay House Surgery Center on-site, supported by an adjacent Carriage House recovery suite and Q the Medical Spa on the third floor. The technology stack centers on advanced surgical methods including the proprietary Preservé™ preservation breast augmentation technique (paired with Motiva® SmoothSilk Ergonomix® implants), the Auto Augmentation / Internal Bra approach using GalaFLEX scaffold, and complementary devices such as Renuvion® plasma skin tightening and Avéli® cellulite reduction.

The business model is consultation-based and B2C: each patient initiates engagement through an in-person or virtual consultation, with pricing determined per procedure rather than published publicly. Revenue streams mix high-margin one-time surgical procedures (facelift, rhinoplasty, breast augmentation, mommy makeover, liposuction) with recurring nonsurgical treatments (BOTOX, dermal fillers, skin resurfacing) and a neurotoxin subscription program that captures maintenance demand. Beyond direct surgical services, the practice operates three sub-brands — Q the Medical Spa for injectables and skin care, Quatela Hair for hair restoration, and Longevita Medical for regenerative medicine including GLP-1 weight-loss injections — providing both cross-sell and adjacent-revenue exposure.

Commercially the practice functions as an international aesthetic destination, with patients served from all 50 U.S. states and 25+ countries. The destination model is operationalized through a travel program featuring virtual consultations, a six-hospitality-partner accommodations network, and supervised postoperative recovery. Distribution is sales-led: website and content marketing, social channels (Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, YouTube), and the in-house Aesthetic Authority podcast feed top-of-funnel demand, while the fellowship program (31 alumni since 1995) and surgeon-level reputation drive conversion. The firm has grown from a single-surgeon facial practice to a multi-specialty team of five without external capital, remaining independently owned under two legal entities — Vito C. Quatela, MD, PLLC and Lindsay House Surgery Center, LLC.

• Renuvion® Skin Tightening Treatment Skin tightening treatment using plasma and radiofrequency technology to rejuvenate and contract skin, offered both for facial rejuvenation and in combination with liposuction for body contouring. Indicated for adults with mild to moderate skin laxity who want skin tightening without the scars of a surgical lift, or who want enhanced skin contraction after liposuction.
• Weight Loss Injections (GLP-1) GLP-1 injections for medical weight loss management, offered as part of the body and nonsurgical services. Indicated for adults seeking medically supervised weight loss, often as a precursor or complement to surgical body contouring procedures such as tummy tuck, liposuction, or post-weight-loss body lifts.
• Q the Medical Spa (Q Med Spa) Medical spa offering nonsurgical aesthetic services including facial injectables (BOTOX, dermal fillers, lip injections), skin resurfacing, and maintenance treatments, located on the third floor of the historic Lindsay House. Functions both as a standalone entry point for patients who are not ready for surgery and as the pre- and post-care pathway for surgical patients, providing continuity between medical-grade skincare injectables and surgical outcomes.
• Quatela Hair Restoration Hair restoration services, including hair transplant procedures, offered through the Quatela Hair sub-brand (separate website at quatelahair.com). Indicated for adult men and women experiencing hair loss who want medical-grade hair restoration integrated with the broader Quatela aesthetic offering.
• Longevita Medical — Regenerative Medicine Regenerative medicine services offered through the Longevita Medical sub-brand (separate website at longevitamedical.com).

• Lindsay House Surgery Center On-site AAAHC-accredited (Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care) private ambulatory surgical facility housed within the historic 1878 Lindsay House building, providing the controlled surgical environment for all plastic surgery procedures performed by Quatela Center surgeons. Indicated for patients of the Quatela Center's plastic surgeons who require a regulated, accredited outpatient surgical setting with full control over preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative touchpoints.
• Carriage House Recovery Suite Private postoperative recovery accommodation adjacent to the Lindsay House for overnight supervised recovery, provided as part of the Quatela Center's concierge travel program. Indicated for out-of-town and international surgical patients who need monitored accommodation during the immediate postoperative window before returning home, complementing the recommended local hotel partnerships.
• Neurotoxin Subscription Program Recurring membership-style program for neurotoxin treatments (such as BOTOX and related neuromodulators) that lets patients maintain injectable results through scheduled regular sessions. Indicated for adults already receiving BOTOX or other neurotoxin treatments at the practice who want a recurring maintenance relationship rather than one-off appointments.
• Preservé™ Preservation Breast Augmentation Advanced preservation breast augmentation technique that uses Motiva® technology — including SmoothSilk Ergonomix® implants with the Channel Separator and Inflatable Balloon systems — to preserve natural breast function and nipple sensation while delivering augmentation. Marketed under the Preservé™ sub-brand as a differentiated alternative to traditional breast augmentation, with smaller incisions and faster recovery. Indicated for adult women seeking breast augmentation who prioritize preservation of natural breast function and nipple sensation over a more invasive traditional augmentation.
