When you think of plastic surgery you may think of the rich and famous, but Christopher Hove, MD, would like you to think differently.

Dr. Hove, board-certified in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery as well as otolaryngology/head and neck surgery, has recently joined the staff of Pottstown Memorial Medical Center (PMMC), after relocating from south- ern California.

“It is gratifying knowing that I can return to the area where I grew up and have a positive impact on the commu- nity,” Dr. Hove comments.

Dr. Hove is not your typical plastic surgeon. His practice is unique, special- izing in facial cosmetic surgery as well as reconstructive procedures for facial trauma or cancer removal.

“Being board-certified in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery demonstrates that I have completed intense surgical training focused solely on the face – I am not a generalist,” Dr. Hove explains.

Providing the very best care and treatment is Dr. Hove’s professional philosophy. He wants his patients to have a “natural look, not a surgical look.”

Some of the procedures Dr. Hove performs at PMMC include eyelid lifting, brow and forehead lifts, nose reshaping, facial implants and facelifts.
