Macrotia Ear Surgery... Amazing.

I was self couscous about my ear size since I was a child (40 now). They were very large (top to bottom) and over 12cm larger than the average ear. I was teased my whole life about it and thought there was no solution until I found Dr. Hilinski. I recently had Macrotia surgery done to correct and resize/reshape the ears and while very nervous was anxious to put a life long issue behind me.
I traveled to San Diego and the surgery was fairly painless. I only felt slight mild pain on the numbing injections (2/10 on the pain scale) and the surgery was done in less than a couple hours. I did not need to take more than one pain pill for the first night only to help me sleep.
The dressings were removed 3 days later and swelling was minimal. I can say that the results were nothing short of amazing.. I cannot believe how nice the shape is of my ears and how much better they fit my facial features. The only regret I have is not doing it sooner. Within 7 days I could be seen in public without anyone being able to detect anything. I am so glad that I was able to find a doc like Dr. Hilinski who literally took a weight off my shoulders that I had been suffering with since I was a kid. Scarring is also healing very well and looks like it would be hardly noticeable when fully healed. I am at 3 weeks post op. Dr. Hilinski is not only a great Doc but a person who seems really caring about his patients and their needs. I cannot thank him and his staff more for the great treatments and friendly atmosphere in the office. Again my only regret... that I didn't do it sooner. Thank you so much!
