I have recently had both sclerotherapy (where they inject a solution into your veins) and laser surgery for my varicose veins on my legs. I had both legs done at separate times and they are considered cosmetic surgery - I received minimal back from both my private insurer and Medicare. My veins were very unsightly and whereas they weren't painful or causing a medical problem they certainly could later down the line.

I am so glad that I had them done as it I am now finally looking forward to summer time and being able to wear shorts confidently! Would I do it again? Yes indeed even though it was more painful then expected (don't let anyone tell you that laser surgery isn't painful) and the results were well worth it.

I will be getting a boob reduction sometime hopefully in the next couple of years too. I am a 14G and have permanent painful indentations on my shoulders from my bra straps, bad posture and bad back ache. I can't wait to have them done! I have always been large breasted but they have been worse since having children. I did contemplate it prior to children but chose to wait as I knew that I wanted to breastfeed if possible.
