What Causes Pain After Sinus Surgery?
I have recently had laser treatment for small veins on my nose. I had good results. One vein was omitted as it was much larger than the others. I was told that it would be extremely painful to laser it. I was informed that a vascular surgeon could probably correct with a saline injection. Is this expensive? Is it more painful. Are there more possible bad effects from this? The vein looks like it is about 1/16 inch wide w/ spiders.

Hello,
It's a minor surgery. Prices vary and insurance coverage for it is poor unless there is bleeding. If there is bleeding then a poorly cosmetic scarring down of the vein can be done by practically any ER or acute care physician. It is the cosmetic aspect of it that gets to be potentially quite pricey depending on the particular procedure.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
