Varicose vein operation

Varicose veins affect approximately half of the adult population or almost every other person. The formation of varicose veins is mainly attributable to hereditary tendency but a lot of patients face this problem during pregnancy. Predisposing factors may include a lifestyle lacking physical activity, the application of contraceptives, overweight and inappropriate nutrition.

We apply varicose vein operations in case of larger varicose veins. The plastic surgeon decides about the treatment after thoroughly examining the varicose veins.

The varicose vein operation

Today the varicose vein operation is considered a routine intervention. Thanks to the latest technology applied, the traces of the varicose vein operation heal practically with no scars as we remove the varicose veins through incisions of only 2-3 mm, which only results in tiny scars on the skin. In case the operation is performed under anaesthesia, the patient has to spend a night at our clinic.

After the varicose vein treatment

At the control examination following the varicose vein operation, the plastic surgeon provides useful advice as to how the legs can be protected in the future and how the reoccurrence of the varicose veins can be avoided.
