What is the “down” time for a stab phlebectomy?
The “down” time for this procedure is negligible. You will need to take it easy for the first 48 hours, but walking is encouraged to promote healing – you will walk out of the office! After the first two days, normal activities are resumed. Only strenuous exercise is discouraged for the first week to ten days, as are swimming and hot tubs. After that, it is business as usual!
