Virtual Online Consultation

A significant percentage of Dr. Hilinski’s patients reside outside of the San Diego and southern California area. In fact, many of this patients are international and come from overseas to have Dr. Hilinski perform their surgery. Since establishing his practice, he has had patients from literally all over the world come to San Diego for facial plastic surgery.

Most of these patients discover Dr. Hilinski after conducting online research regarding their procedure of interest. Given the obvious difficulties associated with traveling to California for a consultation, Dr. Hilinski offers virtual, online consultations using Zoom or Skype for out-of-town patients.
