At Heart Vascular and Leg Center, we offer advanced, minimally invasive treatments for vein disease, including ambulatory phlebectomy—a proven technique for removing large, bulging varicose veins close to the surface of the skin. This outpatient procedure involves making tiny incisions through which the problematic veins are carefully removed. Phlebectomy significantly improves both the appearance of the legs and vein-related symptoms such as aching, heaviness, and swelling. It is a safe and effective solution for lasting symptom relief and better leg health.
Your comfort and safety are our top priorities during every step of your phlebectomy at Heart Vascular and Leg Center. Before the procedure, our vascular experts will guide you through the process so you know exactly what to expect. Here's how to prepare:
Share your complete medical and family history with your physician.
Provide a list of current medications and supplements.
Notify your doctor of any allergies, especially to anesthesia.
Avoid shaving or applying lotions to your legs before the procedure.
Wear loose-fitting clothing and arrange for someone to drive you home.
Phlebectomy is ideal for patients with visible varicose veins that cause discomfort or cosmetic concern and have not responded to conservative treatments. You may be a good candidate if you experience:
Prominent, rope-like veins under the skin
Aching or heaviness in the legs
Swelling around the ankles or lower legs
Itching or burning sensations along the vein path
Skin changes or irritation near the affected veins
Fatigue or discomfort worsened by standing for long periods
Phlebectomy is a minimally invasive treatment that offers both cosmetic and medical benefits for those suffering from varicose veins. It removes the affected veins without the need for large incisions or general anesthesia. Key benefits include:
Minimal scarring due to tiny incisions
Immediate relief from leg discomfort
Outpatient procedure with quick recovery
No need for stitches
Improved leg appearance and function
Long-lasting symptom relief

At Heart Vascular and Leg Center, our vascular specialists perform ambulatory phlebectomy with precision and care, ensuring your comfort throughout the process. Here’s what typically happens during the procedure:
After the procedure, you’ll rest briefly at our center before heading home the same day. Some mild bruising, swelling, or tenderness around the incision sites is normal and typically fades within a week or two. Most patients return to normal daily activities within 24–48 hours, though we recommend avoiding heavy lifting or strenuous activity for about a week. Wearing compression stockings as directed can help reduce swelling and support healing.
Phlebectomy provides both cosmetic improvement and symptom relief shortly after the procedure. You’ll likely notice your legs feel lighter and more comfortable, with reduced swelling, aching, or heaviness. To ensure long-term results and prevent future vein issues, it’s important to maintain good vein health.
Your provider may recommend continuing to wear compression garments, walking regularly to support circulation, and avoiding prolonged sitting or standing. Maintaining a healthy weight and staying active can also help reduce the chances of new varicose veins forming over time.
