Risks of Under Eye Microphlebectomy? Any Long Term Issues?

User Avatar

I have two large blue veins under my right eye that are flat but unsightly. I had a consultation with a facial plastic surgeon who advised against any sclerosing agents or lasers. He advised leaving them alone, or use a filler to camouflage them. I'm nervous about filler by my eyes and am curious about microphlebectomy. I understand the risk for scarring is minimal, but what are the long term effects? Will the area incur tissue damage from not having enough blood flow? Can it damage the eyes?
