Renowned globally as one of the foremost authorities in ear reduction surgery, Dr. John Hilinski has pioneered specialized techniques to address macrotia – a condition where the ears are disproportionately large. Unlike traditional ear pinning (otoplasty), Dr. Hilinski’s innovative approach focuses on reducing the actual size of the ear by reshaping key anatomical features, often creating more balanced, natural-looking proportions. Patients from across the U.S. and worldwide travel to his San Diego practice for this highly specialized procedure, confident in his unmatched expertise and extensive gallery of successful results.

From the first consultation, whether in-person or virtual, patients receive a personalized evaluation and realistic expectations for outcomes. The comprehensive process covers preparation, the surgical experience, and recovery, with Dr. Hilinski guiding each step to ensure comfort, safety, and satisfaction. For those seeking smaller, well-proportioned ears, his artistry and skill have transformed not only appearances but also lives.
