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.
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.

Fat grafting can be a great alternative for breast enhancement, especially for patients who prefer not to have an implant. It works well for shaping and subtle volume, typically adding about half to one cup size, but it doesn’t provide the same structural fullness that an implant can offer.

Choosing breast implant size is a highly individualized process. I take the time to understand each patient’s goals through detailed conversation, reference photos, and careful measurements, so their anatomy and vision align to determine the implant that fits them best.
