How Can I Get Rid of Unsightly Temple Artery (Yes, It Pulses)?

I have seen a vascular surgeon who told me it cannot be treated with scelotherapy because of the risk of necrosis.He did not offer alternatives but from some research I see ligation might be possible. Any recommendations for doctors in the SF bay area would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

A: Pulsating temporal artery

The temporal artery has many branches and it would be technically difficult to ligate an isolated branch without collaterals causing the pulating appearance to return. In the absence of pain (temporar arteritis) it would be very unusual to find a surgeon who would operate based on this indicatio alone. Sclerotherapy is generally resrved for low flow vessels (veins) and not arteries.
