Ambulatory Phlebectomy
Ambulatory phlebectomy is a method of removing varicose veins on the surface of the legs. It is done in the office under local anesthesia.
This procedure involves making tiny punctures or incisions through which the varicose veins are removed. The incisions are so small. Typically, no stitches are required. Even veins that may appear large when patients are standing are collapsible, making it possible to remove them through tiny incisions used in this technique.
Patients are able to walk immediately following the procedure and are able to return to normal activity within 1-2 days. After treatment, a compression bandage and/or a compression stocking is worn for up to 2 weeks.
“I started getting spider veins in my 20s and was embarrassed to wear shorts and skirts. And living in Las Vegas, it is too hot to wear pants all the time. Dr. Simon was very professional and was able to get rid of what I had AND stop new veins from appearing. THANK YOU DR. SIMON!!!”
