I have a blue vein under my right eye. What is the best option for removal?

October 8, 2014
Asked By:ginstudios in Chicago, IL

I have a blue vein under my right eye. It's not crazy noticeable, but noticeable enough that it bothers me. Looks like I have 3 options: sclerotherapy, laser, or surgically removing it. All seem unsafe to some degree. I have a plastic surgeon that says my best option is surgically removing it. I guess that seems like the most dependable way to go. I'm most definitely not interested in sclerotherapy. Just wanted others to weigh in with opinions. Thanks!
