The New Face of Plastic Surgery

Cosmetic surgery can achieve amazing results, but it is important for patients to know that options such as facial implants, eyelid surgery, and facelift are most effective when they enhance a person's natural beauty — rather than overpower it with cookie-cutter features pulled from a magazine. For this reason, Dr. Hove takes the time to learn about each patient's goals, to answer any questions, and to make sure that realistic expectations have been set. As a visual aid, he can use state-of-the-art computer imaging to show you how you'll look after surgery — one more way that Dr. Hove helps his patients make an informed choice.

Thank you for visiting! As you may or may not know, Dr. Hove had to relocate due to an illness in the family. As of August 1, 2007, he has turned over his practice to another highly talented facial plastic surgeon, Dr. Richard Balikian. Dr. Balikian provides care at the same office in Temecula.

Endless Possibilities, Ageless Beauty

Christopher Hove, M.D.

A highly trained facial plastic surgeon whose work is equal parts skill and artistry, Dr. Christopher Hove understands that every patient comes to him with a unique set of needs and expectations. This is what pushes him to achieve the beautiful balance between art and science in cosmetic surgery. He can refresh dull skin with an advanced resurfacing procedure that can be done over your lunch hour — or he can perform surgery to reshape your nose so that it has balance and harmony with the rest of your facial features. Whether the procedure is large or small in scope, the results can be life-changing.

Dr. Hove's personal attention will make you feel comfortable, confident, and fully informed throughout your procedure. More than just a skilled surgeon (the first board-certified facial plastic surgeon in the Temecula valley), Dr. Hove appreciates the value of honesty and integrity. In fact, he has made those ideals the foundation of his practice philosophy.
