Green veins on breasts?

Question

Hi there. I was going to have a BA done in the next few months but I have very large, noticeable green veins on both breasts. Would getting breast implants make them possibly go away or get worse? And, would you recommend getting treatment for them prior to getting implants?

Mitchel Goldman, MD · Answer

It is quite common for patients who undergo
breast augmentation to develop noticeable reticular blue-green veins, so the
veins you describe may become more prominent after augmentation. We treat these
veins all the time with great success. I suggest you visit a vein specialist after
your breast augmentation to see if you are a good candidate for sclerotherapy.

Experience shows that breast veins occur after augmentation. We inject them in our practice before or after augmentation BUT if you are planning an augmentation, get evaluated and treated so that they don't cause a cosmetic issue after your breast procedure. Sclerotherapy is best with Polidochanol or STS or FibroVein.  Seek a  Board CErtified Phlebologist and expect to pay somewhere is the range of 500-1000 a session and you will need multiple sessions.

A breast augmentation may cause  the veins on your breast to become more prominent.  These breast veins respond very well to sclerotherapy.  Several treatments may be necessary. You should see someone with experience injecting sclerotherapy into breast veins.
