I was diagnosed with varicose veins recently and was told that liposuction would increase my chances of getting a blood clot. Is there an effective alternative to liposuction in my case? Thank you in advance.

Answer: Having varicose veins doesn't prevent you from having tumescent local liposuction.
Hello.
Great question. No expensive test is needed to determine if you have visceral fat or not. A board certified plastic surgeon can determine that by images and/or a personal examination. Please visit a board certified plastic surgeon for a detailed surgical plan to achieve your desired results.
Thank you for your question. To provide a valid medical opinion I will need to see pictures of you body from different angles. I would suggest to be treated by board certified plastic surgeon with experience in this procedure, to get the best desired results.

Hello and thank you for your question.Base on your photos, you are a candidate for neck liposuction and buccal fat pad removal, however I suggest to visit a board certified plastic surgeon for proper evaluation.Good luck.
