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.
