How can I fix a swollen vein between my nose and eyes? (Photo)

Question

Hi i think my angular vein between my nose and eye is swollen. A year it’s has been like this, I am not sure of cause or how I can get it fix.

John Landi, MD · Answer

The angular vein is one of the veins that I will not treat.  This vein has a direct communication to the cavernous sinus of the brain and treating it carries a risk of clotting the cavernous sinus which could lead to terrible complications.

Hello,
First, I am not sure that it is the angular vein that you see, it may be the tear trough ligament with is a bit displaced. 
It is rare to see a dilated vein in this area, they communicate with deep ones in general and should drain into them correctly if there is no obstacle.
A visible ligament can look like that and can be fixed partially with a cannulae and a bit of fillers.
