I have been a patient of Dr. Hove's for many years now and several of my friends are now patients as well. His work is impeccable and he is a very gentle, caring doctor. He goes out of his way to make sure his patients are comfortable and are not in pain. I highly recommend Dr. Hove if you are considering surgical or non-surgical facial/ear procedures.

I was very pleased with the patient care, bedside manner of Dr. Hove and treatment outcomes of my daughter’s surgery. I am a healthcare provider and have experience dealing with many physicians and surgeons and I can honestly say Dr. Hove is an excellent practitioner who is kind and caring with his patients. Covid has made it really difficult on healthcare providers and Dr. Hove’s office strives to do their best under these very challenging circumstances.

Stunning Before and After Transformations
Types of Neck Lift Techniques
Our Main Line, PA, office uses three neck lift techniques to help patients achieve their desired results. Dr. Hove can discuss different combinations of techniques and incision locations at your consultation.
Cervicoplasty
Cervicoplasty is the process of removing the excess skin on the neck. This technique rids the appearance of deep wrinkles to lend to a smooth, youthful appearance.
Platysmaplasty
Platysmaplasty involves removing or altering the neck muscles for improved appearance. Platysmaplasty is often paired with cervicoplasty to complete a neck lift procedure.
Liposuction
If a patient has a double chin or excess fat they wish to remove from the neck and jawline, Dr. Hove will perform liposuction along the neckline to remove these stubborn pockets of unwanted fat.

We couldn’t have been more pleased with the results. Throughout the entire process Doctor Hove and his staff (especially Nate) treated us like family. Patient, communicative, excellent bedside manner and a skilled surgeon. What a combination. Highly recommend.
View on GoogleComplementary Procedures
Patients often combine their neck lift treatment with other facial surgery procedures for a more youthful appearance and comprehensive makeover. A few popular complementary procedures Dr. Hove offers are:
Facelift
While the neck lift procedure leaves your neck smooth and youthful, it doesn't affect your face. Patients may choose to have a facelift and a neck lift to complete their cosmetic makeover.
Eyelid Surgery
Blepharoplasty, otherwise known as eyelid surgery, helps remove excess skin from the eyelid area and tighten the eyelids in the process. This procedure can awaken your expression to match the youthful look of your neck.
Brow Lift
Paired with a neck lift, a brow lift can transform angry expressions and a worried appearance into something lively and youthful. By removing forehead lines, you can better communicate what you feel on the inside.
Financing Is Available
Cosmetic procedures can boost confidence and make people feel more comfortable in their bodies. We want to make these benefits accessible, which is why our office in Paoli serving the Main Line offers financing through CareCredit®. This third-party lender allows patients to pay for treatment in affordable monthly installments with little or no interest, so your cosmetic procedure can fit your budget.
Frequently Asked Questions
There is no substitute for having a consultation with a surgeon to get the best answers to your questions about neck lift surgery. But to give you a frame of reference in the meantime, we have provided answers to some of the most frequently asked questions we encounter:
How long will I need to take off work for recovery?
This depends largely on the extent of treatment you received and the type of job you have, but in general, patients can expect to need about a week away from their jobs. If your work requires considerable physical activity or you've had an extensive procedure, you may need more time away from work.My jawline lacks definition. Do I need a neck lift or a facelift?
This depends on the cause. If you have a double chin, a neck lift may be an excellent solution for reducing it and lifting your neck skin in the process. However, if your lack of chin definition is the result of skin laxity in the lower face, a facelift may be the better solution. During your consultation, Dr. Hove can determine which approach will achieve the results you want.
Will people notice my scars after surgery?
Not if you choose the right surgeon and take care of your incisions after surgery. Dr. Hove is an authority in facial plastic surgery. When he removes loose neck skin or makes incisions to access the underlying tissues, he uses refined techniques that result in minimal scarring, often in places that are inconspicuous or easily concealed with your hair. After your procedure, you can use sunscreen and take other precautions to help your scars fade considerably and remain subdued.
