I had a veinogram procedure on my left leg .It is swollen in two parts of my left leg.My lower calf and upper calf.My right leg is normal and no swelling has occurred.I was in an accident when I was younger but my left leg was not that effected from the accident.But from the veinogram, now it just is very noticable, and I feel uncomfortable wearings shorts and dresses sometimes.I went to a doctor at the NYC Hospital and I am very unhappy with his services.I just would like to know I should try to get plastic surgery on my leg or if you know of another procedure?
I am very young and healthy woman.I am only 18 years old.

Edema (swelling of tissues) results from fluid accumulation outside the vascular system. Common causes of unilateral (one sided) edema include vascular system abnormalities, lymphedema, infection, and trauma. You need to find a doctor who can help determine the cause of your edema so that proper treatment can be given to you. I don't want to scare you but you should know that without intervention, further tissue damage could result and lead to impaired function. Permanently. Get help immediately.
