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.
Chest width plays a major role in implant selection because an implant that’s too wide or too narrow won’t sit naturally on the body. Careful chest measurements help guide implant choice so it aligns precisely with a patient’s anatomy and aesthetic goals. This tailored approach allows the implant to fit the chest to a tee and look balanced long term.

Muscle repair is an important part of a tummy tuck because it helps bring the abdominal muscles back together after pregnancy. This repair creates an internal corset that supports the core and contributes to a flatter, more contoured shape. Patients who choose to avoid muscle repair can still improve skin laxity, but the overall result will be more limited.

Breast “perkiness” after surgery depends on several factors, including your natural anatomy, your goals, and the surgical approach chosen—whether that’s a lift, an implant, fat grafting, or a thoughtful combination tailored specifically to you.

A breast lift doesn’t stop time or gravity; it repositions the breast tissue to restore shape. How long results last depends on factors like weight changes and implant size, and when appropriate, internal support such as the internal bra can help stabilize the breast and often provide a longer-lasting result.
