To our loyal partners in beauty,
Welcome! I am excited and pleased to offer you the first edition
of Q Magazine. It’s bold, it’s beautiful, and it showcases many
of the exciting new treatments and services our talented
surgeons are offering. 2016 is a fascinating year in the cosmetic
surgery field, and I think it’s the perfect time to offer this
magazine to our patients. Why? Because new beauty
treatments are coming out every day, many with some pretty
hefty claims, and as consumers, we have no idea what works
and what doesn’t. But we are very fortunate to have worldrenowned
surgeons right here in Rochester, NY, and I can’t think
of a better go-to resource for this type of information. Educating
patients is paramount to our doctors, and if you haven’t been
privy to their knowledge before, read through this magazine and
you will clearly see that they are authorities on everything beauty
related.
You may be wondering why I’m writing this prologue. Outside of the fact that it might just be a job
responsibility of mine, it’s honestly because I believe in this practice. I have worked at the Quatela Center
for over 10 years and have had the honor of having Drs. Quatela and Koenig as my bosses. Yes, you read
that correctly, the honor of working for them. I consider it a privilege. They are first-class surgeons,
buttoned-up in every way, and they have the ability to flawlessly execute just about everything they do. They
have gained international attention and respect from patients and peers alike and that is in large part due to
an unwavering commitment to quality care and a hard work ethic. Most importantly, they deliver consistent,
remarkable results to patients that not only improve their outward appearance, but change their lives.
So what is one of the most important lessons I’ve learned so far during my time at the Quatela Center?
That’s a no-brainer. It’s the definition of beauty (or lack thereof). I have learned that beauty is defined by
each individual and not by society, celebrities or surgeons. It’s unique to each of us and something that is
our own and no one else’s.
As a mother of two, my definition of beauty now is much different than how I defined it as a twenty-year-old.
Having children took a major toll on my body, and trust me when I say I didn’t take those changes lightly.
Since then, I’ve become wiser, stronger and more confident in the woman I am, and frankly, I find that I am
my most beautiful self yet. As women, we need to embrace where we are in life and focus on the positive
aspects that make us uniquely beautiful (men, this applies to your confidence as well!). And if there are
updates or small nips and tucks that need to be made along the way to help you boost your confidence, then
by all means, go ahead and find your beautiful. You deserve it!
I hope you enjoy this first glimpse into the mastery and sincerity of the Quatela Center. We like to think of
ourselves as a family here, so please, pull up a chair and join us as we dive into some of the exciting topics
and discussions that make us who we are.
