H/K/B Cosmetic Surgery

I recently had a mommy makeover that included a full tummy tuck with muscle repair, liposuction, implant exchange to a smaller size, and a breast lift. This was something I intended to do 12 years ago in my home country, but unfortunately I had a horrible experience that involved severe bleeding and blood transfusions—I almost lost my life. Because of that, I was extremely nervous to go through surgery again. From the very beginning, Dr. Kortesis made sure all my lab work and testing were done thoroughly to confirm there were no underlying health issues that could cause complications. Everything came back perfect, which helped me realize that what happened years ago was likely due to something done incorrectly. Seeing Dr. Kortesis’s experience, credentials, and excellent results, along with so many great reviews, truly put me at ease. Today I am two weeks post-op and already back to my desk job. Everything went so smoothly. The nurses who took care of me during my stay were absolutely amazing—so kind, attentive, and always making sure I was comfortable and helping ease my pain. While I’m still a little swollen, I can already see a big improvement, and I’m beyond grateful for my results so far. If you are looking for a very knowledgeable surgeon and an incredible, caring staff, this is the place. I couldn’t be happier with my experience. — Jess Eads

I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Baker and HKB. I’m just so thankful for the care that I received from him and the entire staff. From the minute I met Dr. Baker, I was put at ease. He is knowledgeable, thorough, kind and personable. This was actually my second time having this exact surgery. The first was with a different surgeon. The skill and care between that surgeon and Dr. Baker are night and day. I am so happy with my results. I also think it is important to note that Dr. Baker provides personal follow-up for weeks after your surgery, and after that, he made himself available for any questions/concerns that I had. I always felt like a priority which is hard to find in a surgeon these days. Thank you HKB and Dr. Baker!

Dr. Kao is an excellent and very attentive surgeon. He explained the procedure clearly and set realistic expectations from the beginning. Throughout my recovery, he has closely monitored my healing and addressed swelling with great care and professionalism. I truly appreciate his attention to detail and focus on long-term results. Highly recommend.

I can’t say enough about my experience at H/K/B. After six months of research and several consultations around Charlotte, I had my eye on Dr. Bharti and his beautiful work. I instantly felt a sense of trust and comfort the moment I walked through their doors. I had a breast implant exchange and upper bleph one week ago, and I honestly feel overwhelmed—in the best way—by the care I received. I was extremely nervous and anxious leading up to surgery, but every single person I came in contact with—treated me with patience, calmness, and genuine compassion. They distracted me, reassured me, and made me feel safe every step of the way. My pain has been minimal, my recovery has been smooth, and my results already look amazing at just one week out. It’s so clear that this team deeply cares about their patients and the quality of their work. I’m truly grateful and so excited to see the full results in the coming months.

The staff here is so incredibly friendly and seem to genuinely care if you are comfortable and have all the information you need to make the best decision for yourself. Dr. Kao is down to earth and was so kind when I came back for a second time to ask more questions. I am definitely going with him for my surgery.
