What will happen if you miss one day of not wearing the compression hose after having vein surgery 4-5 days ago?

Thank you for your question.One day without compression should not compromise your results after vein treatment. Although it is recommended to wear compression 1-2 weeks after treatment depending on your providers post-care instructions. To be sure, see two or more board-certified providers in your area for a complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have treatment.I hope this helps.

A few hours to a day that long after surgery should not harm you.  But I suggest asking your treating physician.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Thank you for your question.Missing one day of not wearing stockings is not likely to adversely affect outcome after varicose, reticular and spider vein treatment with sclerotherapy.Bestdr. Karamanoukian

I would not worry at all.  There is no consensus even among doctors as to how long they should be worn.Some recommend 3 days, some one week, some 2.

I instruct my patients to wear their compression stocking around the clock for 48 hours.  Then I tell them to wear it for the rest of the week (7 days total) only during the day when they are up and about.  You should be fine!Dr. C

I recommend wearing compression hose for only 48 hours post vein closure or sclerotherapy .  Patients of mine do no wear compression for 5 days unless they want to do this.
