Dear Docs, I started to develop Varicose veins due to the use of BCP (I believe this is when it 'started'). Have stopped using the pills, I have lost a good amount of fat and weight and want to proceed with Thigh lipo to reshape my lower body. My calves are quite slim but I have a 'bulgy' varicose vein which is more aesthetically problematic for me but my thighs are still quite large but I can 'feel' one large varicose vein in my inner thigh but it is covered in fat still. Is Lipo a problem?
