| Often used after endovenous laser ablation, phlebectomy involves the actual removal of branches of varicose veins through tiny incisions in your skin that are usually closed with only tape strips. We hook the vein and pull it out through the small openings, one section at a time. The skin is numbed with a local injection and special instruments are used to remove the veins through tiny incisions. | |||
 |
Ambulatory phlebectomy is an outpatient treatment and only requires a local anesthetic. You won’t need stitches and you won’t have scars. Bruising and swelling is normal and temporary and easily controlled with compression stockings. You can walk immediately after surgery and carry on normal daily activities except for exercise and heavy lifting. You must follow the activity restrictions and wear the compression stockings as directed by your doctor. Your varicose veins are physically removed and therefore should not come back. However, depending on other factors such as family and personal history, new varicose veins may develop over time. Tiny spider veins may persist and can be treated with sclerotherapy if they do not go away. |
