The results are stunning

Before seeing Dr. Hove, I had minor procedures from two other plastic surgeons. Dr. Hove by far was the most professional and reliable surgeon I have gone to. He truly takes his time to understand his patients and does fabulous work. The results are stunning, and I would recommend Dr. Hove and his staff to anyone. Since having two procedures done by Dr. Hove, I have since gotten fillers and Botox from the nurse practitioner at his office, Melani McGuire. Melani has a caring personality

Done my Botox for several years now and my blepharoplasty

Dr. Hove is the only doc that I’ll let touch my face. He has done my Botox for several years now and did my blephoraplasty a few years ago. Dr. Hove is compassionate, humble, and if won’t make you look “done.” He gives realistic expectations and is as conservative as you want.

Chemical Peels and Botox A++++

I've used Dr. Hove for over 8 years for skincare. I have never had surgery. He's removed moles and has done an amazing job. I've had NO scarring. I get Botox and chemical peels. I drive 50 miles round trip to go to this Dr. He does sell potions in a bottle. Dr. Hove is very nice, educated, and is a licensed plastic's physician. Love him! You will not look plastic and fake..unless you ask for it. I've maintained a natural look and aging slowly which is inevitable.

After 20 Years of Waiting, Got the Rhinoplasty - Paoli, PA

I interviewed 4 area top surgeons - and none of them had the eye for subtle, natural lines, like Dr. Hove. He is warm, real, reassuring, and gifted. I agonized over losing the character in my face, looking unnatural, and then...not being happy. I can tell you, no one can pinpoint the difference, but the results, socially, have been amazing - I just look happier, more open - Dr. Hove gave me a chance to be my true self. He is subtle and he is honest. I'll never go to, or

27 Yr-old - Rhinoplasty and Chin Liposuction - Paoli, PA

I drove two hours to met Dr. Hove last week after reading many wonderful reviews about him on this website and others. He truly cares about your expectations and he spent plenty of time with me to be sure that he knew what I wanted. We reviewed and edited my photos repeatedly until I saw EXACTLY what I wanted. Dr. Hove is by far the best surgeon that I have met with and I have met with 4 surgeons throughout the New Jersey area over the last 7 years. I have FINALLY decided to do

Botched

After he did my rhinoplasty, my nose actually looked worse. Not to mention my breathing was also impaired. Recently underwent a revision rhinoplasty with another surgeon, which was terrifying but necessary for my health. Got amazing results after revision, but found out that Dr. Hove had mangled my nasal cartilage which the new surgeon had to rebuild with cartilage grafted from my ear. I will say that Dr. Hove is very kind and certainly does have the best intentions. But rhinoplasty

Disappointing Surgery Results

I am very disappointed with the results in my procedure. The initial consultation had promising results with a computer generate image as we discussed my expectations. Months after surgery, my nose looked exactly the same. I expressed my dissatisfaction with Dr Hove and he suggested that I come in for a revision procedure that took about an hour. Still, no much difference and my nose is still crooked but now has a flat spot on the front of it.

Rhinoplasty - AMAZING - WORTH - Paoli, Pa

I am so scared to get this procedure. Luckily I just found my doctor doesn't pack noses when hes done operating. I was really worried I wouldn't be able to breath. I have always hated my nose, (I am greek, and have my fathers big nose). Just getting the dorsal hump out. VERY nervous! Any tips? I am scared I am not going to like my nose when I am done. I love my profile view but HATE my side profile. It makes me feel like I need a chin implant. Its weird, some angles, my nose looks

Scared, Self Conscious 26yr Old - Paoli, PA

Hello everyone, I'm pretty new to this but I recently started looking around for the best place to get my rhinoplasty done. I've always been pretty self conscious about my nose but I feel as I've gotten older its gotten worse. I hate taking pictures and when I do they are painstakingly posed so as not to get the beaklike appearance my nose has :( I found Dr. Hove through some of the great reviews I've read on here (thanks guys!) He is just how they said he is. Kind, warm, informative

24yo Female, Bad Primary and Trauma 7 Years Ago - Paoli, PA

I had a martial arts accident when I was 16 and had what was supposed to be a septoplasty. Fast forward 7 years of living with a deformed nose, and I finally decided to find out what the heck happened during that surgery. I found out he never performed a septoplast,y but many other procedures that left me with a pollybeak deformity and nasal valve collapse. Unfortunately too much time had passed to sue. After much anguish I decided to have it redone and it has been an upward
