I'm 16 years old and am extremely insecure about the purple veins above my eyes/on my eyelids. I understand that everybody has them, but mine are extremely noticeable, more noticeable than the average person. They are worse in person than in the picture. Is there anyway I can get it removed or make them less noticeable? And is there a name for this?

Answer: Vein above the eyes Everyone's concerns are valid but sometimes a step back and an over perspective is a good thing. Vein are normal and needed and most likely the only person who notices is you. I would not do anything to them. Wish you the best in your journey, Dr Leo Kim, Specialist Plastic Surgeon in Sydney

Answer: Veins Above Eyes Thank you for sharing your concerns and photographs. Eye veins are an essential part of our anatomy, however, unfortunately they are quite visible on the eyelids due to the delicate nature of the skin. Veiny eyelids are typically nothing to worry about, but since they are causing you to feel uncomfortable I recommend visiting a blepharoplasty expert. If you are deemed a candidate, the broken capillaries can be treated with laser therapy.
