Liposuction caused many broken veins, how can I fix this? (Sclerotherapy?).

April 9, 2018
Asked By:Naturalisthegoal in Los Angeles, CA

I recently had thigh lipo, after the bruising subsided around week 4, I realized I was left with horrific broken spider veins all over my legs. I'm also still getting electrical shocks of pain in the thigh.The broken veins are so dark that leg makeup will not cover them, it's devastating. Is sclerotherapy for broken spider veins effective? How long after lipo can I get sclerotherapy-Is it safe? I've read it can cause more pain, dangerous blood clots, and other dangerous side effects.
