Procedures
For people who suffer from sweaty palms the simple act of shaking hands can be a social nightmare. For those with sweaty arm pits having to wear a coat or change shirts multiple times a day becomes a drudgery. Many remedies to these problems exist from those that don’t do much to the very effective but painful and short lived BOTOX® shots.
Dr. Sutherland offers a straightforward, outpatient, surgical procedure which can eliminate arm pit and palm sweating with a lower risk of complications than older more common procedures.
After one operation, lasting less than one hour patients report resolution of sweating which lasts for many years. The patients report minimal pain and prompt return to work, usually 2-3 days later.
More than 80 million people in the United States have problems with their veins, the vessels that return blood to the heart once it has circulated through the body. Many people suffering from venous disorders come to vascular surgeons looking for treatment to either relieve pain or improve the visible appearance of diseased veins.
Veins have one-way valves that help keep blood flowing in the proper direction. If these valves stop functioning the way they are supposed to, blood can flow backwards and pool in the vein, causing it to stretch.
These enlarged blood vessels fall into two groups: spider veins and varicose veins. Spider veins are visible on the surface of the skin as red, blue or purple lines. Varicose veins are larger and deeper and often look like bluish bumps under the skin.
