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.
The best part of my job has always been the relationships I build with my patients. Watching their confidence grow, following them through their journey, and simply catching up about life during follow-up visits is what makes this career so rewarding. The hardest part is when I know I can`t safely give someone the result they`re hoping for, but putting my patients` well-being first will always be more important than saying yes. I truly can`t imagine a more fulfilling profession.

Significant weight loss can be life-changing, but it can also lead to unwanted volume loss in the face, making you look older than you feel. Restoring that lost volume is often the key to achieving a healthy, refreshed appearance. Depending on your anatomy, I may recommend fat grafting using your own tissue or fillers if you don`t have enough available fat, creating a treatment plan that`s tailored to you.

GLP-1 medications have helped many people achieve significant weight loss, but losing the weight is often only part of the journey. After major weight loss, it`s common to be left with excess skin around the abdomen and torso that diet and exercise simply can`t eliminate. Body contouring procedures, including tummy tucks and other skin removal techniques, can help complete the transformation by addressing the excess skin and restoring a more balanced, comfortable contour.

Breast revision surgery is rarely a one-size-fits-all procedure. Depending on the concerns we`re correcting, I may combine different implant sizes or projections, a breast lift, and fat grafting to address multiple issues at the same time. For more complex revision cases, using these techniques together often provides the best opportunity to restore shape, improve symmetry, and achieve the most natural, long-lasting result possible.
