Character history

Quentin Costa is a plastic surgeon from Atlanta who was brought in to assist Christian Troy in fixing Sean McNamara 's face (a slash to the right side of his face) after an attack by The Carver .

Later, Costa was offered a limited partnership by Sean after Christian neglects to return to work after being attacked by the Carver. Initially, Christian refused to accept having Quentin as an associate, but later changes his mind and supports the decision. A couple of episodes later he and Sean go clubbing together and are being given Oral Sex by two college girls and Quentin winks at Sean. This bothers Sean and he leaves the room. In the same episode Christian asks Quentin to help take Kit McGraw off his hands because he is tired of the three-way relationship with her and Kimber. While in bed with Kit on one side and Christian and Kimber on the other he reaches over and touches Christian's buttocks. Christian is disgusted by this and Quentin says he assumed Christian was bisexual too and then leaves. After Sean briefly leaves the practice Quentin remains to assist Christian with surgeries. Later Christian believes that Quentin is on drugs and calls Sean to assist with the facial transplant surgery they are working on. Sean later returns to the practice.

Following Sean's return to the practice, both Quentin and Sean admit their hatred for each other after Quentin enters a relationship with Sean's ex-wife Julia McNamara . After catching Quentin having anal intercourse with a married male patient, Sean Blackmail s him in an attempt to force him to quit the practice and/or lose his license. Quentin offers to buy out the rest of his contract at McNamara/Troy at a reduced (half) price, only to then reveal he is staying in Miami to become the resident plastic surgeon at ''De La Mer'', under the employment of Julia McNamara. He was later fired from De La Mer after an argument with Julia.

When Julia discovered she was Pregnant , Costa was briefly suspected by Sean and Christian to be the father. This was later proven false, as Costa (never knowing Julia was pregnant) admitted to Christian that they never had sex. The unborn child is now assumed to be Sean's.
