Can I fly before or after removal of my veins? Dr. Bush responds!
Last Updated: 10/28/2011Responses
| M. For a thermal ablation of the saphenous vein, we scan the patient 2-days post procedure and are free to fly under a 4-hour trip. For longer trips, we recommend at least a week. There really is no hard data to say how long the time should be. For a phlebectomy (removing superficial veins), you can fly the next day. For foam sclerotherapy, long trips should be avoided for a week unless you can get up and move frequently. We recommend wearing compression stockings and doing calf muscle pumps (moving foot up & down frequently). By doing these two simple recommedations, you should have no trouble.
