Why are veins suddenly, drastically showing up under my eyes? Is there any procedure to safely get rid of them?

Hello
realselfmember85, thank you for your question. I would suggest that you go in
for an in-office examination. Based on your history, and without the aide of
photographs or an examination, it sounds like you are left with two options.
One option is a laser treatment, which is a relatively quick and painless in-office
procedure, and can typically be done in one treatment. The other option is
surgical excision. If you have excess lower eyelid skin or fat, then I would
suggest surgical removal of the excess lower eyelid skin, eyelid fat, and
eyelid vein. Typically this procedure takes 30 minutes in the operation room
under mild sedation.



If you
have any questions feel free to contact my office. Good luck.



Sincerely,


J.

Veins can form around eyes for multiple reasons including genetics, sun exposure, medications, hormones, prior surgery and even can be more prominent in fair skinned individuals.  There are multiple ways to treat these veins including laser, micro surgery, sclerotherapy, VeinWave, VeinGogh and even micro needle radio frequency.  Sometimes combinations of these treatments are used.  See a vein specialist.

There are various treatments for blue veins under the eyes and they are outlined in the video clip shown on the link below.
