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.
Scar tissue can develop in the breast over time and may affect shape, softness, or overall contour. Depending on the situation, we can address it through revision techniques such as a breast lift, direct scar tissue removal, or fat grafting to soften the tissue and improve contour irregularities. The goal is always to restore a natural shape and create the best possible outcome for each patient.

When I perform revision breast surgery, one of the most powerful techniques is a pocket change. By creating a new implant pocket, we can often improve implant position, address asymmetries, and create a more balanced result. In many cases, starting fresh with a new pocket provides the foundation for a better long-term outcome.

When I evaluate a patient for body contouring, I’m always thinking in 360 degrees. The body isn`t two-dimensional, so focusing on just one area rarely creates the most balanced result. Whether we`re treating the abdomen, arms, or legs, I look at the entire contour to create shape and proportion from every angle, because that comprehensive approach is what often leads to the best outcomes.

Empathy is one of the most important principles that guides the way I care for patients. I always try to put myself in their position and understand what they`re feeling, what they`re hoping to achieve, and what this journey means to them. When you approach patient care from that perspective, you`re motivated to give everything you have to help them achieve the best possible outcome.
