The coolest part of what I do is seeing the transformation in patients. It’s why I became a plastic surgeon. I have a genuine belief that helping others reach their greatest self-esteem is the ultimate reward. Being a plastic surgery doctor is so much more than moulding the anatomy of the body – we have a unique opportunity to help them achieve something far deeper than physical. We’re moulding people’s self-esteem.

Dr. Kortesis’ passion for giving back has taken him on mission trips to Bolivia with the Partners of the Americas to aid pediatric burn victims. Dr. Kortesis is a competitive marathoner, half-marathon tri-athlete and adventure sports enthusiast who believes in the power of overall wellness. He and his wife are also active members of the Greek Church and enjoy sharing their time with the local Greek community.

A key part of a tummy tuck is how the incision is closed, and making sure there is minimal tension on the skin. Avoiding the removal of too much skin is just as important, as it helps protect healing, improve the appearance of the scar, and support a more natural result. Careful planning and technique are what allow us to achieve the patient’s goals while optimizing both contour and recovery.

When performing a tummy tuck, the goal is to maintain the natural beauty and contours of the torso rather than creating a squared or artificial look. Incision lines are carefully placed to follow natural lines, and the belly button is shaped to look as natural as possible. At HKB Cosmetic Surgery, the focus is always on refined results that look balanced and natural, even in something like a bikini.

One of the key components of a tummy tuck is tightening the rectus muscles, which can stretch and separate with pregnancy, as well as weight gain and loss. By bringing those muscles back together, we help restore core support while creating a flatter abdomen and a more defined silhouette.
