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. Among the most nationally renowned plastic surgeons, he has been named by Newsweek as a top plastic surgeon in the field of breast, tummy tuck, and liposuction surgery.

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.
Breast surgery recovery is often smoother than people expect.
I focus on helping patients get back to light activity within just a few days, rather than staying inactive. By about one week to ten days, most are comfortably back to their normal routines, healing well while staying engaged in daily life.

Implant projection doesn’t matter more than volume; it’s the combination of both that determines the final result. I focus on selecting the right balance based on each patient’s anatomy and goals. That way, every patient ends up with an implant choice that supports the look they’re trying to achieve.

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.
