Can Fat Transfer Be A Cure For Arm And Hand Veins?

Im 23 y/o, male, stands 5'8 and weigh 135 lbs. can fat transfer be a cure for arm and hand veins other than sclerotherapy(take note: including arm)? does the effect of fat when transfer to the arm and hand can decrease again the size of bulging veins ( to prevent to much blood on the hand) and doesn't only hide it for cosmetic purposes? because i believe bulging veins are not healthy. hope you can help me when regards to this problem. thanks.

Hi,Dear,Thanks for your query to HCM.
Dear I read your query and reviewed it with context to your query facts.
I understood your health concerns and feel Concerned about them.

Based on the facts of your query, you seem to suffer from-
Bulging Veins in arm and hand.
Remedy-
Fat transfer could be a wrong decision if Venous TOS is present in your case.
Consult chest Physician / or chest Surgeon and assess the cause of your prominent arm and hand veins.
Rule out the Venus TOS-(Thorasic Outlet Syndrome).
IF you don't have Venous TOS,as the cause of this prominent Veins,then you could think of it.
Disfigurement from loss of arm and hand Countours -would be cosmetic risk besides the risks of the surgery itself.
Judge the cost-effectiveness and you may go for it,at experts hands.
Hope this would help you to solve your health issues in the best way possible.
Welcome for any further query in this regard.

Good Day!!
