Eyelid veins removal. What is the best option? (Photo)

cilekliFeb 13, 2015
My baby is born with very visible veins (looks like varicose vein) Her eyelid drops and we dont know if the veins this cause. She is now 10 months and there is no change in the veins. Doctors have told us dat the veins can get bigger as she grows. We want to do something about it if it doesnt get better. We need ideas for how to remove these veins, is it possible and what is the best option because its a sensitive area. And when?
