Treatment of Breast Veins
Breast Veins
Often, patients come to see us for veins in their legs, but are embarrassed to ask about prominent breast or chest veins. In fact, this is an area of concern for many women, of all breast sizes. While this is not an abnormal finding, nor does breast vein prominence suggest the presence of any underlying disease, it can be the cause of unnecessary self consciousness. As a result, many women choose to cover up because they are uncomfortable when they wear low cut dresses or when they are in bikinis at the pool or beach. This can often be seen in women as a result of nursing their babies, as well as an unexpected result of cosmetic breast enhancement surgery.
At the Kimmel Institute, we have experience in treating these prominent breast veins. The best option is to inject the veins using a Sclerotherapy technique that is similar to what we do for small leg veins. It is a nearly painless procedure using very small needles, and carries extremely low risk. Because this is considered cosmetic, it is not a service that is covered by insurance.
Tiny round red “berry sports” can often be found on the chest, abdomen, or arms. These are easily treated with the surface laser with excellent results.
If you are concerned about the appearance of your prominent breast or chest veins, come see us for an evaluation.
I can’t say enough about this doc. He goes above and beyond the scope of the usual doc. Will do anything he has to do to accomplish the best outcome. I can’t say enough about him and his staff
Having developed varicose veins at a young age and watching a family member go through the procedures multiple times with more than one doctor and little success, my experience with Dr. Kimmel and his staff was outstanding. The large bulging veins (that kept me out of shorts in the hot Florida sun) and the achiness/itching in my legs is gone. I had one session the resolve my spider veins as well which is proving to be equally successful. I would highly recommend Dr. Kimmel for anyone who needs to have this procedure done. And Melissa, Julie, Clara and other staff were excellent, professional, honest and great at what they do.
I went to Dr Kimmel for varicose veins. I had been to other doctors in the past and he is by far the most thorough and knowledgeable doctor I have been to. He treats the underlying issues first which many doctors do not. His staff is also fantastic. Professional, knowledgeable and kind. If you need a vein doctor, do not go to anyone but him. Too many people advertise themselves as “vein treatment centers” and don’t know what they are doing. Dr Kimmel is truly a doctor who specializes in vascular issues and was great. Highly recommend
From the first visit to the last I was very satisfied with the doctor and his wonderful assistant, nurse and staff. The words to use, caring, professional and answered all my questions clearly. I would definitely recommend Dr, Kimmel to my family and friends. The doctor explained what he would do for the veins on my legs and the procedure. It has only been 3 weeks and my legs have improved so much & will continue to do so.Very positive experience.
I have just recently had the laser vein procedure on both of my legs done for extremely heavy various veins at the Kimmel Institute and cannot tell you how happy I am with the results. Dr. Kimmel and all of his staff were wonderful, professional and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I found Dr. Kimmel on the internet and started researching him and came up with only positive findings. I was still a little nervous about finding a doctor on the internet but when I called the office and came in for the initial screening, I knew I was in the right place. Check him out for yourself and I know you will be a happy as I am. Thank you, Dr. Kimmel and staff!
Dr. Kimmel and his Staff are an unbeatable combination of knowledge, expertise and Tender Loving Care. I enjoyed a truly positive experience from beginning to end…could not be happier with the results. Go… Kimmel Institute!
Richard Kimmel is the BEST. I had an extremely wonderful experience. Julie & Melissa really made it brainless for me. I highly recommend. Anyone that does not use him in my opinion is a fool. He is really that great. You won’t be disappointed. If there were more “stars” I would give it to Dr. Kimmel and his wonderful staff.
I called the office and new I found the right place. My first visit and consultation confirmed that. It was such a pleasure to be treated like I was their PRIORITY, not just another patient passing through. They answered all my questions and I felt comfortable asking them. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable; truly an experience like this is hard to find these days. Oh, and by the way…my legs look and feel GREAT!!! Highly recommend!!!
I underwent an ambulatory microphlebectomy,a chemical ablation and sclerotherapy with Dr Kimmel. He is a professional efficient surgeon. The whole staff especially Melissa and Clara are wonderful as well. They all create a calming atmosphere while the procedures are being performed. I have never been to an office where everyone shows they care about you. This is that type of place that Dr Kimmel has.
