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.
Protecting your body contouring results doesn’t stop after surgery. Maintaining a stable weight, staying active, eating well, and staying hydrated all play an important role in preserving the outcome long term. Procedures like liposuction, tummy tucks, and body lifts can have lasting results when surgical expertise is paired with healthy lifestyle habits and a committed partnership between surgeon and patient.

I always encourage patients to seek out a specialist in the specific area they’re considering. You want a surgeon who performs a high volume of the procedure you’re interested in and has extensive experience delivering those results. At HKB, we’re fortunate to have a team of specialized surgeons across many areas of plastic surgery so patients can be matched with the right expertise for their goals.

Recovery after surgery is a journey, and having the right support system makes all the difference. One of the most important parts of postoperative care is making sure patients feel guided, reassured, and able to reach us throughout the process, especially in those early days after surgery when emotions and recovery can feel overwhelming. At HKB, we believe consistent follow-up and accessibility are essential to helping patients heal confidently and enjoy their results as smoothly as possible.

When planning multiple procedures, safety is always the top priority. In general, we aim to keep surgical time within a safe window because extending procedures too long can increase the risk of complications and impact recovery. Many combinations can still be performed together very effectively, especially when treating related areas like the face and neck or performing 360 body contouring, while more extensive cases, such as massive weight loss patients, are often best staged over multiple surgeries to achieve the safest and best possible outcome.
