I Would Like to Know What Options I Have to Remove an Unwanted Vein from my Face? (photo)
I am 25 years old and have this unsightly vein on my face. I went to a vein clinic and they told me basically that a vein and artery had fused together. I tried to get advice from other vein specialists but they don't deal with facial veins. It happens when I bend my head down or when its hot. Plastic surgeons said they could ligate it. I have high blood pressure and currently taking medication for it. Please, I don't need to "cover" it with fat etc, I really NEED it removed. It ruins my self confidence
