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.
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.

Renuvion is an excellent complement to liposuction because it addresses something liposuction alone cannot: skin tightening. Using helium plasma energy beneath the surface of the skin, Renuvion helps contract and tighten the tissue after fat removal, creating a smoother, more refined contour. I routinely combine Renuvion with liposuction because it can significantly enhance the overall result for the right patient.

One of the procedures I consider a true "no-brainer" for the right patient is an upper blepharoplasty. As we age, excess skin can begin to hang over the upper eyelids, creating a tired or heavy appearance and sometimes even affecting vision. The incision is well hidden in the natural eyelid crease, the procedure is often performed under local anesthesia, and the results can refresh your appearance in a way that often makes patients look 10 to 15 years younger.
