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.
Bottoming out of breast implants is largely prevented with proper surgical technique, which is why choosing an experienced surgeon is so important. When technique isn’t the issue and the challenge comes from weaker breast tissue, additional support can be added. In some cases, internal mesh is used to reinforce the tissue and help maintain the implant position over time.

Breast implants may need to be replaced around the 9-13 year mark, but nothing is set in stone, and what matters most is monitoring them over time. I like to see patients annually so we can evaluate how things are looking, discuss any concerns, and determine if adjustments are needed. Sometimes it’s about addressing changes in the breast, and other times it’s simply because patients want to evolve their look over the years.

Upper pole fullness is often assumed to come from simply adding more volume, but achieving that round, full look really comes down to implant selection. The cohesiveness of the implant gel and the style of the implant both play an important role in shaping the breast. By choosing the right implant for each patient’s anatomy and goals, we can create a tailored result that achieves the fullness they’re looking for.

Breast surgery is highly customized because every patient’s anatomy is different. No one is perfectly symmetrical, and some patients may have rib cage differences that require adjustments in implant size, volume, or projection. The goal is to tailor the surgical plan to each patient’s anatomy to create the most balanced and natural result possible.
