BOTOX® in Newton and Wichita

If you are concerned about deepening frown lines between the eyes, have noticed wrinkles appearing on the forehead, between or at the corners of the eyes, then the non- invasive BOTOX® Cosmetic procedure performed by board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Susan Lovelle at the new plastic surgery center in Newton, Kansas may be just right for you. BOTOX® Cosmetic is the most widely known, FDA approved and accepted treatment to diminish these problems. This procedure is performed for people in Newton, Wichita, Hutchinson and the Salina area by Dr. Lovelle with very natural results.

The cosmetic form of botulinum toxin, often referred to by its product name BOTOX® Cosmetic, is a popular non-surgical injection that temporarily reduces or eliminates frown lines, forehead creases and crows feet near the eyes. Prepared on the day of your BOTOX® Cosmetic procedure by Dr. Lovelle at the plastic surgery center in Newton, the toxin blocks the nerve impulses, temporarily paralyzing the muscles that cause wrinkles while giving the skin a smoother, more refreshed appearance.

Patients may seek BOTOX® Cosmetic treatment with Dr. Lovelle in Newton for some of the following reasons:

To relax wrinkles of the forehead, and “crows feet” at the outer eye
To give the face a more relaxed and youthful appearance
To relax frown lines and wrinkles between the eyes
BOTOX® Cosmetic is a quickly performed and easily renewed procedure

BOTOX® Cosmetic works by weakening the muscles of facial expression. Once the resting tone of the treated muscles is weakened, the pull of the muscles relaxes and the overlying skin flattens. This approach is different from other non-surgical procedures for the face. Other non-surgical procedures work by filling wrinkles or depressions. With BOTOX® Cosmetic, by physiologically weakening the muscles, wrinkles are lessened naturally.

During your consultation with Dr. Lovelle she will discuss with you the best approach to achieving your goals using BOTOX® Cosmetic or one of the other non-invasive procedures which she performs with equal skill. She will use her expertise, experience and training to help you to achieve your optimum and most natural result.

Fat Injections in Newton and Wichita

As we age, the dermis beneath the skin can thin out. This part of the aging process often leaves the face looking too thin and has the effect of making the skin appear to sag. This can happen to women of any body type or weight. At the new plastic surgery center in Newton, board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Susan Lovelle has found that utilizing the injection, or transfer, of fat from another part of the body adds volume to the area beneath the skin, and has the effect of “filling out the face” resulting in a more youthful appearance.

One of the advantages of fat transfer is that since Dr. Lovelle transfers the tissue from one part of the body to another, any possibility of allergic reaction is minimized. The goal of the procedure is to add fullness to the face and lips. Patients may be familiar with the use of fat injections for lip augmentation, but there are many other ways in which fat injections are used to enhance facial appearance. With Dr. Lovelle, fat injections can also be used to lessen the lines around the mouth, fill in bags under the eyes, as well as to add volume to the cheeks and chin areas which might have otherwise used facial implants.

Fat transferred from one part of the body can be successfully and beautifully used to restore fullness to any part of the face where fat or fullness has been lost due to the aging process or illness.

Patients may choose fat injection treatment with Dr. Lovelle in Newton for some of the following reasons:

To eliminate the saggy appearance of skin under the eyes, or to lessen lines around the mouth
To restore fullness to the lips
To use the body’s own tissue achieve a more youthful and vibrant appearance.

During your personal consultation with Dr. Lovelle she will discuss the details of fat injection treatment with each patient and determine if this is just the right procedure for you.

Microdermabrasion in Newton and Wichita

At the new plastic surgery center in Newton, Kansas, board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Susan Lovelle offers microdermabrasion treatment to her patients that can help rejuvenate and restore your appearance as well as your sprits by dramatically improving skin tone and texture.

Microdermabrasion can be used by Dr. Lovelle to treat a variety of skin conditions including acne, stretch marks, acne scars, age spots, enlarged pores, wrinkles, or rosacea. For those struggling with mild to moderate acne, microdermabrasion can also be effective. If you’re noticing premature signs of aging such as skin discoloration and sun damage, microdermabrasion is a preferred way to gently remove dry and damaged skin.

As an acne treatment, microdermabrasion is successful because of how well it treats the pores. When pores are relieved of dirt, oil and dead skin, acne can heal more quickly. Also, when dead skin cells are wiped away, acne causing bacteria cannot survive as easily.

Microdermabrasion is one of the most popular, time-proven methods of consistent skin care that can provide results after even one treatment, is low risk and requires minimal downtime. It’s effective on its own, but microdermabrasion can also be combined with chemical peels and laser or light-based treatments, consistently removing dead surface skin to provide even greater results.

Dr. Lovelle’s patients in Newton and the Wichita area choose microdermabrasion for some of the following reasons:

To improve skin tone, making it softer and more smooth with a healthy glow
To provide a more even skin color for patients with altered pigmentation
To diminish large, unsightly pores or acne scars
To reduce the appearance of stretch marks
To reduce the frequency and severity of acne breakouts
To improve facial appearance and self-esteem

During your consultation with Dr. Lovelle she will explain the details of microdermabrasion while answering your questions and helping to determine if this is the best approach for your skin care needs.

Facial peels in Newton and Wichita

Chemical peels (often called chemosurgery) use a chemical solution to remove the top layers of damaged skin. New cells, formed during healing, produce a tighter, more youthful-looking skin. Chemical peels have proven successful in restoring wrinkled, sun-damaged and blemished skin, and may be applied to the entire face, or to specific areas such as the mouth or forehead.

At the new plastic surgery center in Newton, Kansas, board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Susan Lovelle offers her patients a number of chemical facial peels that are available for a variety of skin types. These treatments can complement your surgery or skin care regimen.

Dr. Lovelle’s patients in Newton and the Wichita area have sought facial peels for some of the following reasons:

To enhance skin damaged by age, sun or wind exposure
To provide a smoother look and feel to facial skin
Ease of treatment
For a more youthful, relaxed and vibrant appearance

Time, gravity, sun and extreme weather can take a toll on the skin with which we were born. Other factors such as sleeping habits, nutrition, alcohol consumption, smoking and skin care routines also affect the skin’s vitality and health.

Many chemical peel treatments are available for a variety of skin types. Dr. Lovelle will consult with you to carefully determine which chemical peel procedure would be most effective and appropriate to your specific needs.

Full face laser resurfacing is a modern alternative to traditional chemical peeling and dermabrasion. This new technology uses a laser to predictably and precisely “vaporize” fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, and acne scars. The result is a fresher, smoother complexion.

Laser resurfacing is performed by board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Susan Lovelle at the new plastic surgery center in Newton. Laser treatments improve the appearance of fine lines or wrinkles, scars, and hyper pigmentation (discolored areas of the skin), primarily around the eyes and mouth. It can also be used to treat large areas of the face. Laser treatment can reduce the appearance of many signs of aging on our skin, including sun damage, freckles, age spots, acne scarring, enlarged pores, and redness caused by broken capillaries and rosacea. Treatments can also improve the appearance of birthmarks and uneven pigmentation

Skin treatments all work in a similar way: removal of a layer of skin so that the new skin can flourish and fill in the wrinkles and crevices. Until recently, the only options to medically treat damaged skin were chemical peels and microdermabrasion. Laser skin resurfacing has gained popularity recently because of its advantages over alternative approaches that may cause discomfort or bruising, often resulting in longer recovery time. At the new plastic surgery center in Newton, Dr. Lovelle skillfully provides this innovative and popular treatment. The heightened benefit of this approach to more youthful-looking skin means laser skin resurfacing can be psychologically rejuvenating as well.

During your personal consultation with Dr. Lovelle she will answer all your questions about this procedure. As a board certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Lovelle brings her many years of training, experience and expertise to each new or returning patient. Her goal is to work together with you to choose just the right non- invasive procedure that will best achieve the result you seek

Laser Hair Removal in Newton and Wichita

Laser hair removal is an increasingly popular non-surgical cosmetic procedure. It is a non-invasive, convenient and highly effective method to reduce hair growth.

Laser hair removal works by targeting the pigment inside the hair follicle without damaging delicate pores and structures of the skin.

Pigmented Spots in Newton and Wichita

Brown spots that appear on the skin are known as pigment spots, sunspots, age spots or liver spots. These are flat, brown areas which are called lentigines, and in fact have nothing to do with the liver. They are primarily caused by the sun and usually appear on the face, hands, back and feet. They are generally harmless, but sometimes resemble melanoma, and therefore may require evaluation.

As we age, exposure to sun, wind and extreme weather can begin to show on our faces. Most pigmented lesions can be attributed to the sun’s damaging ultraviolet rays. Preventative measures should always be taken by using sunscreen and avoiding overexposure to the sun. This will not correct damage which has already occurred, but can help to avoid greater damage in the future.

At the new plastic surgery center in Newton, Kansas board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Susan Lovelle offers several treatments to reduce unwanted pigmentation spots. The type of lesion will determine the best method for removing it and may include the following:

Laser Pigmented Spot Removal
Cryo Surgery Spot Removal
Intense Pulsed Light Removal

Individual sunspots and freckles respond very well to laser treatment. The laser light is absorbed by the pigment, thereby lightening or destroying it, and leaving the skin looking uniform in color and texture. Most patients tolerate the treatment very well. After treatment, the area may feel similar a slight sunburn. Within a day, discomfort disappears. During your private consultation Dr. Lovelle will explain the various approaches to treating pigmentation spots with each patient so that together you will make an informed decision of which course of treatment to follow.

Board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Susan Lovelle has the training, experience, patience and understanding to answer all your questions and help you to choose the best possible treatment for your needs and desired outcome.
