Upper Eyelid Surgery in Colorado Springs, CO: Transform Your Look with Expert Care
Your eyes are one of the most important and noticeable features. They communicate emotion, alertness, and youthfulness. However, with age, the skin and muscles around the eyes can lose elasticity, causing the upper eyelids to appear heavy, droopy, or tired. In severe cases, excess skin can even impair your vision.
At Springs Aesthetics, we offer upper eyelid surgery to help rejuvenate your appearance and improve function. With the experience and expertise of Dr. John Burroughs, we offer precise upper blepharoplasty in Colorado Springs, Colorado, which helps you achieve safe, confident outcomes.
What is upper eyelid surgery?
Thanks to age, genetics, lifestyle factors, and sun exposure, the upper eyelid skin tends to elongate, bunch up, and droop. Unfortunately, these changes can make us feel as though we are tired, sad, or older than we feel.
Upper eyelid surgery (upper blepharoplasty) is a surgical procedure that can help you reclaim a lively, alert, and youthful look on your eyes. Your plastic surgeon removes excess skin and sometimes fat to create a smoother, more youthful contour. Sometimes, upper blepharoplasty can be combined with other procedures, such as eyelid ptosis surgery, to achieve fully rejuvenated, fresh-looking results.

What does the procedure involve?
Dr. Burroughs administers the procedure under local anesthesia with oral or IV sedation. The surgery takes 45-90 minutes, depending on individual factors. During treatment, we remove a precise amount of skin to maintain a natural, symmetrical appearance.
Swelling and bruising are common after upper blepharoplasty but should subside within about two weeks, at which point you can resume your regular activities. Our team will provide post-op instructions to ensure a seamless recovery.
