Dr. Burroughs is a cosmetic oculofacial plastic surgeon practicing in Colorado Springs, CO. He enjoys helping patients reach their aesthetic goals with surgery as well as non- and minimally invasive approaches. Feeling better about one's appearance helps build confidence, and some have described beauty as confidence. Patient concerns with their noses include: prominent dorsal hump; overly broad appearance; downturning of the tip; asymmetry; collapsed or sweeping dorsal ridge; and others. Filler can last 9-12 months in the nose in many cases. Only a hyaluronic acid filler that is reversible should be used. The nose is a high risk area to inject because of blood vessels and if an obstruction occurs it could cause skin necrosis and scarring or worse. Also injecting into a blood vessel can cause blindness very rarely. 22G cannulas are much safer than needles as the blunt tip is difficult to get into a blood vessel. Smaller cannulas (25G, 27G) act like needles, which can penetrate into blood vessels and carry more risk. Dr. Burroughs has been using cannulas and advocates their use at meetings for better safety, patient comfort, and less bruising. Always be sure your injector has reversing enzyme (hyaluronidase) and that no permanent or non-reversible filler is used in the nose. Injecting office should always have 5-6 bottles of enzyme on hand, and be reachable by phone even after hours if painful, irregular bruising occurs which could be a vessel occlusion as mins-hrs matter. Skin should always be prepped with antiseptic not just alcohol to avoid potentially high risk infections. Dr. Burroughs is enthusiastic about the fantastic results that can be obtained with fillers, but safety is paramount. He teaches at both national and international meetings.
