Dr. Hilinski is an amazing physician and meticulous in his work. I was not comfortable with the excess fat under my chin and neck area. Dr. Hilinski suggested procedures in a stepwise fashion starting with the least invasive process. I could not be more excited about how I look and feel as a result of his expertise, use of the latest technology, and attention to details Mike
