Microphlebectomy for Philadelphia, MS Patients
Vein disease is common, and it's treatable. If you're in Philadelphia, MS, the Vein Institute's Meridian office provides microphlebectomy using modern, minimally invasive techniques — the same approach used across all of our South Mississippi locations.
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
Philadelphia 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
Plan for a consultation focused on you: your provider will ask about your symptoms, review your history, and often recommend an in-office ultrasound to map the affected veins. From there, you'll discuss which treatment options make sense for your situation.
Microphlebectomy is performed in-office with little downtime, helping relieve pain, pressure, swelling, and visible vein bulges with long-lasting results.
