The Why’s of The Eyes

They’ve been called the windows to the soul. Historians and cosmetic professionals agree, the eyes are a primary focus for facial beauty. Here are the ways Dr. John Burroughs, Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon of Springs Aesthetics in Colorado Springs helps his patients’ eyes shine brightly enough to deserve the center of attention.

The eyes are the primary focal point of the face, and a focus for physical beauty. They are framed by the eyebrows, eyelids, nose, and cheeks. These surrounding structures and the canvas of skin maximize or detract from their beauty. Dr. John Burroughs is a fellowsip trained oculofacial plastic surgeon whose specialty has a primary emphasis for procedures that complement the eyes. He points out that the attractiveness of a patient’s eyes can be optimized through treatments and cosmetic procedures such as: fillers, botulinum neuromodulators, threads to lift brows and cheeks, lasers/radiofrequency microneedling for skin tightening and improvement, evening out pigment, and various surgical options to best shape and position the brows.

Here’s the low down on some of the most requested eye opening – and beautifying – cosmetic treatments available at Springs Aesthetics, and their benefits!

Fillers: Fillers can help to fill hollows bordering the eyes, to mask under eye bags, and to contour the brows.

Botulinum: Botulinum vanishes frown lines, giving the face a softer, gentler and more inviting appearance.

Threads: Threads are a popular way to lift the brows and cheeks in the under-eye area.

Lasers / Morpheus: Laser / Morpheus treatments are highly effective for removing and/or minimizing wrinkles and smoothing skin.

UPNEEQ®: Upneeq, or oxymetazoline hydrochloride ophthalmic solution, is an exciting prescription eye drop that effectively treats acquired blepharoptosis (low-lying lids) non-surgically. These drops make the eyes appear larger and more white by reducing chronic redness.

Skin tightening treatments: Springs Aesthetics offers a comprehensive array of treatments for skin tightening and to even skin pigment. We invite you to call our office to schedule a consultation!

Lumify: Lumify has been increasing in popularity for its ability to resolve chronic red eyes!

Surgical modifications: Plastic surgery is a long lasting and reliable method of improving the skin and other features that surround and frame the eyes. Dr. Burroughs customizes each procedure to each patient and their needs. Commonly requested procedures include options to optimize the brows, which are an integral facial feature, and Blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), to address complaints such as drooping eyes (eyelids).

Dr. Burroughs points out that each patient is unique and has individual concerns and goals for improvement. At Springs Aesthetics, he and his staff work diligently to listen to each patient’s desired goals from treatment, and to deliver long lasting, natural, and beautiful results. If you have been hoping to tighten, lift or sculpt your eyelids or brows, to reduce under eye circles, fill in interior hollows surrounding the eyes, or to have other cosmetic goals for your eye area, we invite you to call our office today to schedule a private consultation with us.
