It is not necessary to sleep in your compression stockings after microphlebectomy. You should be wearing them during the day when you are on your feet. You can take Aleve or Ibuprofen as needed for pain.

Yes, you can sleep in your compression hose for the first two nights following your procedure and during the day thereafter. Taking an Aleve, ibuprofen or Tylenol for 10 days am and pm following treatment is recommended.

Each surgeon varies how the like their patients to post op. I usually have a light dressing over the areas and the stockings on top. This is left intact for 2 days. After that all is removed, you can shower normally and use a bruise/healing cream such as Dermaka several times per day. Hose at this stage are worn daily for a total of 7 days and can be removed at night. Tylenol extra strength or Aleve/Advil should be fine for discomfort.
