Bulging Temple Veins Bilaterally? (photos)

June 2, 2012
Asked By:jimdoe

I had flat but visible temporal veins bilaterally. A (board certified) plastic surgeon made this situation infinitely worse by tying off the veins at the hair line. Now I have bulging temple-periorbital veins along with temporal hollowing and sagging that accentuate the problem. Two oculoplastic surgeons do not advise removing these veins whereas two plastic surgeons advocate microphlebotomy along with a temporal lift. Real Self physicians please advise. Thank-you.
