Info on Varicose veins?


can you get varicose veins removed if you're overweight? Is there a weight requirement doctors require before they'll do the procedure?

How much does varicose vein removal (laser not stripping) cost- what's the range?

Most insurance companies won't cover surgery for varicose veins for cosmetic purposes.

As to a "weight requirement", I doubt it. A lot of our varicose vein patients are overweight. However, a surgeon may feel, in a particular patient's case, that weght loss should come first.

The type of surgery depends on 2 things :
1) the patient's anatomy. Veins that are too "curvy" are often inappropriate for laser/radio frequency ablation.
2) the equipment available at a particular hospital Source(s): vascular surgery PA
