Veins on breasts but have implants. Is Sclerotherapy okay?

Question

I had 425cc saline over the muscle put in 9 months ago. Since my implants my skin has stretched and I'd like to have sclerotherapy done. Is it safe? Any particular procedure I should do?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

I do this procedure often with foaming and it works very well.  I suggest you see an expert for treatment options.  Best, Dr. Emer.

John Landi, MD · Answer

Sclerotherapy is very safe with breast implants.  After 6 months you can safely undergo breast vein sclerotherapy.  I prefer foam sclerotherapy.  You should go to someone with experience injecting breast veins especially with an implant.  The technique is to stay superficial.

Thank you for your question.
Typically, it’s best to have a consultation with a qualified physician as
treatments for veins vary according to each person and how visible they are. It
is okay to have a treatment done with implants. For the breast area, if the
veins appeared after the implants, it may have been due to that area becoming
larger. In that case, I would not recommend the Sclerotherapy Treatment. I
would recommend the Pulsed Dye Laser (Cynergy) as it’s great for aiming the
laser into the vein which helps to absorb the blood within the vein and
eliminate it.

Thank you for your question. Seek a vein specialist who is certified by the American Board of Venous and Lymphatic Medicine. Better yet, seek someone who is both a plastic surgeon and a vein specialist. I have a doctor for you in Santa Monica who has both credentials and he has been featured on The Doctors TV Show many times. His name is Dr Raffy Karamanoukian at Kare Plastic Surgery. He is also Director fo the Santa Monica Vein Center. See the link below.
