Question

I have a vein run down the middle of my forehead now for a few years. It never disappears. Can it be treated? & why did it show in the first place?. It's effecting my confidence.

You may be a candidate for microphlebectomy to remove the vein. However, there may be associated tributaries. Best, Dr. KaramanoukianLos Angeles

Hratch Karamanoukian, MD, FACS · Answer

This requires microphlebectomy as it large sized. Two or three tiny puncture wounds and no down time except bruising. 
This is cosmetic and will cost 3500 - 4000 USD.

Your posted picture shows an enlarged frontal forehead vein which can be treated either by sclerotherapy, microphlebectomy or  a combination of both.  This is done with an office procedure under local anesthesia and is associated with minimum down time with very excellent cosmetic results.

Scott Powell, MD - Account Suspended · Answer

Yes, this your forehead vein can be treated.  Based on the size in the picture, I would recommend sclerotherapy or a microphlebectomy.  These are both done in the office with minimal downtime.

Find someone experienced with veins, especially facial veins.  Veins in the forehead are often a result of genetics.  They will become more prominent when you exercise, smile, laugh, etc. due to slightly increased pressure.

Good luck to you,

Dr. Powell
