It's good that you're thinking about your varicose veins because soon after your TT they will potentially be fuller. You'll need to be very intentional about them postoperatively with managing them.  I'd recommend limited salt intake and fluid restriction to some degree, as I do with all TT's but in your case hose support or Spanx garments will be an effective measure in their postop management.  They shouldn't be ignored, there will be retained fluid postop and your lower body in general could be dealing with the extra fluid, if you're expecting it then it will not be a big deal.  Consult with your board certified plastic surgeon in this regard.

Good morning!Yes it is safe to have an abdominoplasty with varicose veins- but some additional studies may or may not be needed to determine the nature of your varicose veins.  Varicosities can be a symptom of a blocked deep venous system in your legs that can be an issue with surgery.  I would check with your PS to see if any additionla studies are appropriate depending upon the nature of your varicosities.I hope this helps
