How Can I Get Rid of Unsightly Temple Artery (Yes, It Pulses)?

December 26, 2010
Asked By:jf6466 in Flagstaff, AZ

I have seen a vascular surgeon who told me it cannot be treated with scelotherapy because of the risk of necrosis.He did not offer alternatives but from some research I see ligation might be possible. Any recommendations for doctors in the SF bay area would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
