This is something I do for all small incisions. This means that patients having liposuction, or Cellulaze or lipoma removal will all have their small incisions closed with sutures.I have heard that some doctors leave the incisions open, perhaps because they believe in some situations that it is better to allow drainage, for example in liposuction or Cellulaze.My opinion is that all small incisions heal with a much less visible scar when the skin edges are aligned neatly. It is important that the sutures be removed before 7-10 days to avoid stitch marks. I have never noticed any problem with healing from liposuction or Cellulaze by closing the incisions. I think patients appreciate not leaking for several days, until the incisions close by themselves.
Occasionally sutures are used after phlebectomy if large veins are removed. This is mainly to prevent bleeding after the patient goes home. For the most part we use steri-strips to close the incisions. Either way, the patients get a very nice cosmetic result.
One way or the other, microphebectomy incisions heal nicely.I place sutures on my microphlebectomy incisions because my patients come from all over and often live more than 2 hours away from my practice.My partner does not use sutures.They all heal the same.Dr karamanoukian
Often there are no stitches--just glue. Sometimes, stitches are used. Both methods heal very well with minimal scar.
I always approximate the skin edges with steristrips which is a skin tape with a special adhesive. It is removed after 7 days by soaking the leg in water. They don't leave any marks and the incision sites heal with minimal scarring that disappears after a few weeks.
I do many ablation procedures and microphlebectomies. The majority of time no sutures are necessary for the microphlebectomies but occasionally I do use sutures selectively on areas that I suspect may bleed or in an area where there were big veins or in someone on blood thinners. Sutures should not change the tiny scar in any way.
The veins in the pictures posted I would treat with fine needle radio frequency , sclerotherapy and most likely a combination of both.
Not related to diet.You could take some bioflavonoids to keep your veins healthy. However, these can easily be treated in the legs with sclerotherapy and or cosmetic laser. The same can be done on the face using long pulse dye lasers. There is nothing you can do about the genetics of having a f...
Scleorosant solutions cause an inflammatory reaction in the veins that have been injected. PROPER compression over the veins that have been sclerosed prevents the pooling of blood and blood clotting. Since the sclerosed veins are superficial, they may be felt as lumps. If there is tenderness or...
