I had my third rhinoplasty procedure with Dr. Hilinski after two bad nose jobs years ago with a surgeon in Beverly Hills. Although I am still early out, I am incredibly impressed with the result and his meticulous work. His expertise in the field especially with rhinoplasty, ethnic skin etc, is the reason I chose him and I am so glad I did. Everything looks very natural. While he is on the conservative side I trust his aesthetic eye and knew he would give me a more youthful and refreshed appearance, which he did. If I get anymore work done in the future, he will definitely be my surgeon for all things face. He is just that skilled, and you want an extremely skilled surgeon when it comes to your face! He also responded to all my emails and phone calls post op, if I had questions or concerns. His staff are really great, especially Nicole his office manager who has been amazing and supportive every step of the way. Excellent experience overall.

Dr Hilinski is absolutely the best. He has done several procedures for me and I have 100% confidence in his ability as a cosmetic surgeon. Office staff is also very professional.

I had a lower Facelift, a jaw lift, and the upper eyes. It has been two years and Dr. Helinski continue to perfect his work with complementary procedures. I am more than happy with my results!

I do not recommend anybody to come here I had an otoplasty here I did not get the results i wanted even thought the doctor had me go back and do supposedly had more stitches to fix it and it did not fix anything . It made them look worst one ear is bent forward more than the other one at least before my ears looked the same now its one bent back and the other one is more forward Even thought I followed at the post op direction and went beyond . For the money I paid i got no results. Please do you search before coming here I will definitely not come back and will not recommend them to anybody
