turtle3 Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Guys,anyone had varicose vein surgery?I had and I regret for the choice of clinic.It was used stripping method and nobody explained me anything.Now instead of veins I have 7 scars.On internet there is not much about these scars.Anyone knows what to do with scars?And how long it takes to heal scars?There is nothing much on internet.

Billie28 Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 My mother had varicose veins removed 30 years ago. 60 stitches in one leg. No scars. How long ago did you have the procedure? And are you aware that your skin regenerates every 100 days roughly! So if less than 3 months ago I would not be concerned yet? Link to comment
turtle3 Posted June 4, 2019 Author Share Posted June 4, 2019 Dear Billie28,thank you for your answer.You calmed me down a bit now.I didn't know that for 100 days,I had surgery 2 months ago.Bruising disappeared but wholes from where veins were taken out are still very red.What makes me angry is that I was told that it is laser method with no scars,but actually I got them.After surgery doctor didn't even talk to me and for controls just nurses talked to me with no information about anything.

Wiseman2 Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 A plastic surgeon is the one to consult for scar revisions. Link to comment

smackie9 Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Sometimes is takes months, even a few years for scars to heal up properly. Link to comment
Hollyj Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 I would speak to someone who does laser . Link to comment
turtle3 Posted June 4, 2019 Author Share Posted June 4, 2019 As far as I read online,this method which they did me,it is not used anymore bcs of scarring.So there is nothing much about such scars.I was stupid for not researching more.Really in this world,just to pray God never to need for help of any doctor.

Cherylyn Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 It's only been 2 months. Wait longer. Your skin needs to heal. Make an appt with a dermatologist and get his or her opinion. My scars took years to heal but they eventually looked better (not VV surgery). Link to comment
