  • Is local anesthesia used for varicose vein surgery?

    Yes, vein treatments are all done under local anesthesia these days. Patients tolerate these procedures very well. It’s important to remain calm, get a good night’s sleep, stay well-hydrated pre and post-operatively and take a scrub shower the morning of procedures. Sometimes if procedural anxiety is an issue a light sedative can be taken 1-2 hours prior to the procedure. You will have to arrange a ride if you do take a sedative on the morning of surgery. Good luck with your surgery. This is it and it's perfect! Make it a great day. READ MORE

  • Do you get a general anesthetic for varicose veins?

  • What kind of anesthesia is used for varicose vein treatment?

    For almost all venous procedures only local anesthesia is needed. In the past these procedures would be done under spinal or even general anesthesia but now these procedures are done in outpatient clinics under local anesthesia. Every once on a while for very anxious patients an oral sedative may be prescribed. In this situation the patient has to have a friend or family member drive them to and from the clinic. This is it and it's perfect! Make it a great day. READ MORE

  • Does a CT scan show varicose veins?

  • Can radiologists fix varicose veins?

  • Should I go to ER if I suspect I have superior vena cava syndrome?

  • How long does vein ablation take to heal?

    Usually it takes just a few days to heal from a venous ablation. Using cold compression can help with any local discomfort. While the bruising disappears quickly and is variable in amount for different patients, it is recommended that patients not do any heavy lifting for a period of two weeks after the treatment as sometimes the closure can open up. Wearing compression garments post procedure also alleviates the postprocedural discomfort.  This is it and it is perfect. Make it an outstanding day! READ MORE

  • What is wrong with the bulging veins in my ankles and feet?

    Bulging veins when associated with pain in the area are almost always associated with venous insufficiency and venous hypertension.
