Bill G. Kortesis, M.D., FACS, is a board-certified plastic surgeon specializing in cosmetic plastic surgery. He is a world-renowned plastic surgeon who has published numerous papers, book chapters and books on the topic of breast surgery, body contouring and facial aesthetics.

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.
In addition to being a co-founder of H/K/B Cosmetic Surgery, Dr. Kortesis mentors medical students and residents from UNC and Wake Forest, and teaches fellows from the UNC Plastic Surgery Department. He also lectures at local, regional and national American Society of Plastic Surgeons meetings.
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.
I believe a healthy lifestyle is the foundation for great surgical outcomes. My role as a surgeon is to restore structure and deliver precise results, but those results are best supported when patients commit to working out, eating well, and staying hydrated. When surgical expertise and healthy habits come together, recovery is often smoother and results last longer.

I chose plastic surgery because I genuinely love taking care of people. Helping patients achieve results that improve their confidence, happiness, and emotional and physical well-being is what motivates me every day. That purpose is what makes this work meaningful and why I continue to love what I do as a surgeon.

In 2026, I’m seeing a clear shift in patient priorities. More patients are choosing smaller breast augmentations, opting for lifts instead of replacing implants, and taking advantage of techniques like Preservé under local anesthesia. With the rise of GLP-1 medications and weight loss surgery, body goals are changing too, and that’s leading to less emphasis on liposuction and more focus on thoughtful, individualized planning.

Concerns about recovery are very common, especially when it comes to pain, downtime, and getting back to normal activities. Many procedures allow patients to return to light activity within 7–10 days, while others may take a bit longer. My goal is to make sure you feel prepared and supported every step of the way so you can recover with confidence.
