This female patient visited us with a specific goal: to reduce the overall size of her nose by bringing the tip closer to her face, achieving a smaller, more refined appearance. Crucially, she wanted the results to be so natural that there would be absolutely no sign or "stigma" of having had a nose job.

We focused on subtle, structural adjustments to the nasal tip, ensuring the refinement harmonizes perfectly with her other features. This approach creates a beautiful, balanced result that allows her natural beauty to shine without drawing attention to the surgery itself—truly moving her from self-conscious to confident.

💎 The Art of Preservation Rhinoplasty
This young patient sought cosmetic rhinoplasty to gently refine her profile by reducing the bridge and adding definition to the nasal tip.

We utilized the Preservation Rhinoplasty technique, which focuses on maintaining the strength and natural structure of the nasal bridge while reshaping. Instead of traditional removal, we work beneath the cartilage and bone to lower the profile, ensuring a beautifully smooth, stable, and natural-looking result. It’s the gentle approach to nose reshaping!

Tired of prominent ears that draw unwanted attention? Ear prominence is often caused by a missing or underdeveloped natural fold in the ear cartilage.

In this demonstration video, Dr. Hilinski showcases a male patient receiving incisionless or scarless ear pinning (Otoplasty). This minimally invasive technique is ideal for patients whose concern is primarily a lack of this specific ear fold (antihelical fold). Instead of large incisions, Dr. Hilinski uses specialized sutures to precisely create and secure the desired fold, instantly repositioning the ear closer to the head for a more natural, balanced look.

The result? Ears that look "normal" and proportional, restoring balance to the face, and leading the patient from self-conscious to confident—all without a visible scar.

We are honored to share that Dr. Hilinski was recently featured in GQ Magazine for his specialized expertise in revision rhinoplasty!

The article focused on the growing trend of "restorative rhinoplasty," a highly complex form of nose reshaping dedicated to correcting undesirable results from previous surgery and restoring a patient’s natural appearance and cultural identity.

Dr. Hilinski contributed his insights on advanced techniques, including dorsal hump restoration, and highlighted a key trend in his practice: patients traveling from around the world to our San Diego office (near La Jolla and Del Mar) seeking his unique approach to feel like themselves again—from disappointed to whole.

The complex nature of secondary nose surgery demands a surgeon with unparalleled skill and a conservative, functional approach. Dr. Hilinski’s feature in such a reputable publication underscores his standing as a global expert in this demanding field.

Ready to explore your best self? ✨

For many patients, cosmetic rhinoplasty is about subtle refinements that bring the whole face into harmony. This lovely patient simply wanted a more polished and defined look without dramatically changing her natural features.

By carefully reducing the bridge height and refining the nasal tip, we achieved a result that beautifully complements her existing features. She looks refreshed, refined, and entirely herself! This is the art of nose reshaping—making improvements that feel perfectly natural.

Are you constantly told you look tired, even after a full night's sleep? 😴 It could be due to lower eyelid bags and hollowing that develop naturally over time.

A lower eyelid lift (blepharoplasty) addresses puffiness and bags, while a subtle fat transfer can restore youthful volume, brightening the entire eye area. The goal is a refreshed, rested appearance that still looks completely natural. Imagine moving from "looking tired" to "looking radiant"! ✨
