Varicose vein surgery - the right time?
Many people have varicose veins, some really have a lot of them. That's not a bad thing, but they need to be treated. And sooner rather than later!
This often raises the question of the right time.
People used to argue about this question, but today the answer is clear. Read on here and find the answer for yourself!
100 or more years of varicose vein surgery have brought many insights and also revealed many mistakes that we no longer make today, or rather, should no longer make. In the past, there was no way of relieving patients of their vein problems in a cosmetically satisfactory way at an early stage. Patients were therefore put off until a time when they could tolerate the disfigurement caused by scars and dents. Today, the standards are so high and the techniques so refined that the experienced vascular surgeon leaves (almost) no "traces" behind.
This fact encourages us to motivate patients to treat their condition as early as possible. On the one hand, this makes conditions easier for the surgeon; on the other hand, the injuries are so minimal that post-operative pain and discomfort are minimal, and the rehabilitation period is reduced to just a few days. Reintegration into the work process and running a simple household can therefore begin the day after the operation.

The final post-operative follow-up treatment by sclerotherapy of the residual varicosities produces flawless results, which means that you will never come back!
I am pleased to be able to offer many more people a way of satisfactorily treating their varicose veins, residual varicose veins and spider veins.
Yours

Hello Eddi,
yes...that's a dream of mine too. I hate my varicose veins. I also hope that they will be removed at some point. Unfortunately, the health insurance company is putting a spanner in the works....
