Asked By:taybrown91 in San Jose, CA

Please help! I’ve have really bad anxiety regarding central forehead veins that I had tied off and injected sclero into them. Before, the veins would only protude when I would smile, work out, lay on my side or when it was hot out, now I see them even when I have expression on my face and cold. it’s been a week since the procedure, but the moment I take my compression off I see them.. I could really use to insight, I was never told that there would be a possibility that they could get worse :(
