It's Complicated: The HKB Cosmetic Surgery Podcast
Live from Miami: Is Semaglutide Worth It?
31 MAY 2023 · Plastic surgeons have never been able to change patients’ lives as dramatically as they can today by combining aesthetic and well-being treatments. Drs. Bharti and Kortesis chat with Austin plastic surgeon Dr. Johnny Franco about the ‘Skinny Shot’ and the best modalities to combine with it to make patients healthy and happy.
It’s easy to love the simplicity of semaglutide, but when you lose weight drastically, you’ll start to get loose, lax skin. For a complete treatment that makes you look and feel great, it’s best to address skin laxity simultaneously with biostimulators like Sculptra, energy modalities like RF microneedling, and skin tightening treatments like Renuvion.
This episode was recorded live at The Aesthetic Meeting 2023.

Live from Miami: Who Shouldn't Have Surgery Under Local Anesthesia?
17 MAY 2023 · Some people avoid general anesthesia procedures because they don’t want to commit to the downtime, while others have a fear of not being in control of their own body.
If you’re one of these people, the good news is you can have procedures like face and neck lifts, blepharoplasty, and even liposuction under local anesthesia. But if you have a low pain tolerance and can’t handle needles, you probably shouldn’t rely on local for your cosmetic procedures.
Drs. Bharti and Kortesis outline the procedures which can easily be done under local, the benefits of choosing local over general anesthesia, and the limitations of local.

How Not to Choose Your Plastic Surgeon
19 APR 2023 · Surgeons can fake reviews, doctor up pictures, and go incredible lengths to convince you they know what they’re doing. But an ethical plastic surgeon in a reputable practice doesn’t do any of that. They’re willing to talk to you and answer all your questions.
If a surgeon gets mad when you ask about their experience, you may want to look somewhere else. Go to someone who has done the procedure you’re considering hundreds of times and has the credentials to back it up.
Drs. Bharti and Kortesis share how to find the right surgeon for you, from the research process to the consultation. Find out the most important questions you should ask a surgeon when meeting them.

When Complications Happen
15 FEB 2023 · For anyone considering surgery, Drs. Kortesis and Bharti discuss the nature of complications in plastic surgery and how they’re handled, from the doctor’s point of view and the patient’s.
Complications in plastic surgery include hematomas, seromas, necrosis, or blood clots. Both surgeons have been in practice long enough to know that it’s a matter of predicting them, preventing them, and doing things by checklist. For any procedure, the goal is to make sure the benefits are high and the risks are much lower.
When complications do happen, the H/K/B way to handle them is to take a team approach.
In both life and in the operating room, sometimes you have to take an alternate route to get to your destination. A good, caring, experienced surgeon knows how to handle complications that arise to reach the best possible outcome.
