Profile

Dr. Burroughs is a life-long learner, and continues to both learn from others and teach them as well.  His dad was an academic university engineering professor, and his step-dad a physician.  They instilled a passionate drive to constantly be learning and becoming better.  

Dr. Burroughs wanted to master the art of oculoplastic surgery.  He has truly become a specialist in the eyelids, orbits, and face. Dr. Burroughs has treated tens of thousands of patients, and he is a “doctor’s doctor,” frequently requested by other physicians and nurses to perform surgery on themselves or their family members. He has performed thousands of periocular and facial procedures and surgeries.

He has 20 years of botulinum neuromodulator (“Wrinkle Blocker”) experience, and he also offers at the Springs Aesthetics Medspa non-surgical facial rejuvenation treatments with dermal fillers, chemical peels, fractionated resurfacing, skin tightening, cellulite reduction, photofacials, laser hair removal, and feminine rejuvenation.

Dr. Burroughs is often asked to lecture upon, write, and review professional publications on topics of eyelid, facial rejuvenation, and reconstruction. He is frequently consulted, by other surgeons, to repair complications arising from surgery performed around the eyes. He performs over 1000 surgical procedures on over 600 patients annually.

Dr. Burroughs is on the invited faculty of several national and international cosmetic surgery meetings.  Internationally, he has taught in Brazil, Mexico, and multiple Caribbean islands. He is among a few select oculofacial plastic surgeons teaching other plastic surgeons and cosmetic dermatologists both on eyelid surgery and periocular cosmetic treatments such as the “filler blepharoplasty” and “filler sculpting.”  He is also a key opinion leader for Inmode aesthetic technologies.

Dr. Burroughs has come from a family of artists including his brother, a professional illustration artist and former Disney feature animation illustrator.  His mother was a painter, and had a keen eye for fashion apparel and professional makeup consulting.  His dad is an accomplished academician but also as recreational carpenter.  His daughter is studying Art and Graphic design at Baylor University.  She has been described by her uncle as far superior to his illustration skills at a much younger age.

Dr. Burroughs loves art and aesthetics whether in the outdoors, created works, or amongst his patients.  He sees his practice as a vocation to serve others as a surgeon, but to also help them look better and physically and emotionally feel better.  He has an aesthetic eye, and strives for the greatest possible cosmetic outcomes for all his surgeries to include reconstructive.  Many of his patients have thanked him over the years for his artistry as a plastic surgeon.  He has humbly been gifted by postop patients, who are gifted artists of various disciplines, many works of art they have created.   One is nationally known presidential portrait painter with her works displayed at the capital building in Washington, D.C.  Another has been a hugely successful graphic designer of items sold throughout retail stores and on gift cards throughout the U.S.  Dr. Burroughs loves to help others look their best and feel the best whenever possible.  This is sometimes through procedures or surgery, but oftentimes complemented or on their own just by a warm smile, handshake, hug, or a kind word.

Staff is wonderful ! Extremely helpful over the phone to schedule me my first consultation and sent me new client paperwork through email . I came in for a non surgical nose consultation to have a better appearance on nose . Dr. Burroughs was very thorough with the procedure and did wonderful work .The ladies were helping me with and pain/discomfort also tapping me during the procedure . After some swelling going away and tenderness, I'm SO pleased with my nose . Staff called to check up on me to make sure I was doing alright and to have me call them back if anything changed . I also got a follow up card in the mail, which was so sweet and unexpected ! Thank you for my confidence !!! SO happy :)

I have been seeing Dr. Burroughs for the past seven years for botox and filler. He is exceptional in both areas. I drive from Denver to Colorado Springs because I know that I get the best results due to his expertise. I trust his judgement on what is best for me and how much. He is able to achieve a very natural look. I highly recommend Dr. Burroughs.

I thought the doctor was rude and seemed uncaring, and I wasnt impressed by his knowledge, or lack thereof. So I decided not to have him do the facial procedure I wanted. But I had to pay a $100 consultation fee. I was informed by three office staff that this fee could be applied to any other of their services, but not towards skin care products, and that I had 6 months total to decide, and to use the $100. Well, I called back to make an appointment within 3 months, went in for a consult for a skin care procedure. I couldn't decide what to do, so was advised not to worry, I could decide within 3 more months. So I called back to get an appointment, within their time frame. This time I was advised that wasnt true and it was too late for me to use the $100. So 3 people in that office lied to me about this. They had a whole new staff when I called back, big turn over, so no way to prove what I was originally told. They would not honor the previous promise made by three of their staff, and was told they wouldn't apply this to skin care anyway... so $100 down the drain. Seems the right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing in this place. So do they think I was making this up?? Why would a person do that. I definitely would NOT recommend going to this place!! Lord help whoever might get an actual surgical procedure... who knows what they might be falsely told!! Complete and total waste of time and money. My fault for going to a place that charges for a consultation anyway. Most of the really good doctors don't need to do that, and most don't need to rip off their customers by not standing by staff promises!

I had eyelid surgery with Dr. Burroughs and had an excellent experience and outcome overall. The only problem was the wait time, which was exceptionally long at all visits. However, I am of the understanding that work is actively being done to remedy this problem. In all other respects, a positive experience and one that I would definitely recommend.

I had upper and lower eye surgery, with VERY satisfying results! Dr. Burroughs is a consummate professional and a fantastic surgeon. His after care attention to detail is top-notch as well. The staff is professional and well informed always putting the needs of the patient first. I would highly recommend him for any procedure you would be considering.
