Microphlebectomy for Livingston, AL Patients
For Livingston residents dealing with vein concerns, the Vein Institute's Meridian location offers microphlebectomy in a relaxed, comfortable setting. Every visit starts with a one-on-one conversation with your provider about your specific symptoms and goals.
What Is Microphlebectomy?
A minimally invasive, in-office procedure to remove bulging varicose veins close to the skin's surface.
Microphlebectomy is a minimally invasive procedure used to remove bulging varicose veins that sit close to the surface of the skin. Through tiny, nearly invisible openings, Dr. J. Keith Thompson gently removes the damaged vein segments, allowing blood to naturally reroute through healthier veins.

Who This Helps
Livingston patients often come to the Vein Institute with one or more of these symptoms or questions about microphlebectomy:
- Bulging varicose veins close to the skin's surface
- Pain or pressure over a visible vein
- Swelling around a surface-level varicose vein
How It Works & Recovery
At your consultation, you'll meet with your provider to talk through your symptoms and history. If an ultrasound is needed to map the affected veins, our Certified Vascular Sonographer can often perform it during the same visit, and you'll be given a treatment plan based on the results.
Microphlebectomy is performed in-office with little downtime, helping relieve pain, pressure, swelling, and visible vein bulges with long-lasting results.
