Suggest Treatment For Varicose Vein On Lower Lip

I have a varicose vein on my lower lip. About ten years ago I had laser treatment which didn t remove it. Since then it has grown to more than twice the original size and the inside of my lip hurts at times and sometimes it swells quite bad. My insurance doesn t pay for cosmetic surgery yet, I feel it has gotten much worse than when I first had laser surgery. Help!

Hello,

* As per my surgical experience, the issue of lower lip swelling reappearing after surgery through laser indicates most likely presence of Ranula lip , which is accumulation of jelly type material involving minor salivary gland of the lip.

* However, if you can provide me a photo pic of the swelling during next follow up session or through a private consultation at this website with facility of attachment of report and images, I can guide further in details in finer way.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel
