I recently had a total hip replacement. Can I have sclerotherapy done around the knee on the same leg?

Question

I'm not sure if this is discouraged due to the fact that injections are involved. Kareena

There is no contraindication to sclerotherapy for knee spider veins following same side hip replacement.  I would recommend waiting one month post hip replacement before starting sclerotherapy and also be sure that you are fully mobile.

Thank you for your question. Sclerotherapy on the same leg that you had surgery should be fine, but I would clarify with your surgeon. I highly recommend you consult with a board certified dermatologist, or plastic surgeon, or vascular surgeon to have your legs evaluated and to discuss treatment options that best suit your needs. Take care and good luck.
