Charlotte, NC – June 18, 2024 – H/K/B Cosmetic Surgery (H/K/B), owned by the premier aesthetics management service operator Kortesis Bharti Management Group, LLC (KBMG), is thrilled to announce a new partnership with the Plastic Surgery Center of Nashville, a leading, all-female plastic surgery practice.

This strategic acquisition welcomes Plastic Surgery Center of Nashville as the 10th aesthetics treatment center to be managed under the KBMG umbrella as part of the H/K/B family. This partnership with Dr. Mary Gingrass and Dr. Melinda Haws, who have maintained vested interest as original owners perfectly aligns with H/K/B’s ongoing commitment to expanding its national footprint in the full-service, aesthetic healthcare industry while upholding its core values of Health, Knowledge, and Beauty.

For decades, the Plastic Surgery Center of Nashville has set the standard for exceptional surgical outcomes and patient satisfaction. Under the expert leadership of Dr. Gingrass and Dr. Haws, the center has garnered a stellar reputation for its innovative techniques and compassionate care. This partnership marks a significant milestone in the journeys of both H/K/B and the Plastic Surgery Center of Nashville, heralding a new era of growth and enhanced patient care.

“We are thrilled to welcome the Plastic Surgery Center of Nashville to the H/K/B family,” expressed Dr. Gaurav Bharti, Co-Founder of H/K/B and KBMG. “This acquisition allows us to further our mission of providing the highest standard of care and expanding our reach to serve more patients. Together, we will continue to help our clients be the best version of themself.”

H/K/B is globally recognized for its dedication to providing cosmetic surgeons and aesthetic providers with the resources and support needed to deliver unparalleled patient care. By integrating the Plastic Surgery Center of Nashville into the H/K/B family, the company aims to elevate the quality and range of services available to patients in the Nashville area.

“We are delighted to join the H/K/B brand and continue delivering the exceptional care our patients deserve,” expressed Dr. Gingrass and Dr. Haws in a joint statement. “The support and resources provided by Dr. Bharti and Dr. Kortesis will enable us to enhance our services and reach new heights in patient satisfaction and medical innovation.”

The Plastic Surgery Center of Nashville boasts a legacy of accolades and accomplishments. Dr. Gingrass, a pioneer in ultrasound-assisted liposuction (UAL), is a third-generation plastic surgeon and has achieved national recognition for her expertise in body contouring. She has spoken at prestigious plastic surgery symposia globally, as has Dr. Haws. Both Dr. Gingrass and Dr. Haws are Clinical Assistant Professors of Plastic Surgery at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. They are board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, Fellows of the American College of Surgeons, and members of the American Association of Plastic Surgeons, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons and The Aesthetic Society (The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery). Dr. Haws is the Immediate Past President of the Aesthetic Society and has served on their Board of Directors for 10 years. Part of her presidential platform was the need for plastic surgeons to take the lead in the aesthetic medicine space and this partnership with HKB certainly continues that goal. Dr. Gingrass and Dr. Haws have been in practice together for over 22 years and specialize in breast enhancement and body contouring, focusing on helping patients regain their pre-pregnancy or pre-weight loss bodies. They join HKB with their staff of 10 dedicated women, some of whom have been with them for over 20 years.

“Dr. Mary Gingrass and Dr. Melinda Haws are pioneers in their field, and their commitment to excellence and patient-centric approach aligns perfectly with our values of health, knowledge, and beauty,” said Dr. Bill Kortesis, Co-Founder of H/K/B and KBMG. “We are honored to join forces with such distinguished professionals and to work together in pursuit of continuous improvement.”

Patients can expect a seamless transition and continued access to the same high-quality care they have come to trust.
