Literally anything you want from head to toe and all areas in between is offered at this 40,000 square feet state of the art facility, built in 2009 with:
- Quadruple ASF accredited operating rooms on site
- They only use board-certified anesthesiologists in the OR

The menu of options for improved appearance is practically endless….from hair restoration to calf augmentation. You may walk in wanting a tummy tuck, but after your personalized cosmetic plan you may decide to add a breast lift and finish off with a GloPeel at the Medspa.

If you have ever considered having plastic enhancements, you should definitely set up a tour and meet with the staff at Hunstad Kortesis. You will be glad to do this due diligence when you see their facility. In addition, here are …..
….. a few things to know before you have any cosmetic surgical procedure….
You want to be sure to educate yourself before having cosmetic surgery. There is a big difference between a cosmetic surgeon and a plastic surgeon. You want your surgery performed by a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, as certification by The American Board of Plastic Surgery requires 5 years of surgical training- 2 of which are dedicated solely to plastic surgery alone.
You want to check to be sure the certifications are by The American Board of Plastic Surgery as it’s the only board recognized by The American Board of Medical Specialties (the gold standard for board certification).
You want to be clear on your insurance: “reconstructive” plastic surgery is typically covered for the insured patient vs. “cosmetic” surgery which is not insured since it is considered an elective procedure.
The Hunstad Kortesis Center has board certified surgeons with 50+ years of experience. The doctors teach at institutions like the University of North Carolina Plastic Surgery Department, and are extensively published in their fields. The practice combines traditional, established safety standards with the most advanced techniques, technologies and equipment available. Importantly, Hunstad Kortesis maintains the only accredited fellowship (training) program in Charlotte for cosmetic plastic surgery and is one of only a few practices that participates in clinical trials.
