Sclerotherapy Treatment in India

Ishaan Ali, a 19-year-old university student and aspiring singer, was devastated when a minor injury led to a disfiguring, bluish lump on his upper lip that kept growing. Diagnosed with a venous lymphatic malformation, he was terrified it would affect his speech and passion for singing. His ENT surgeon proposed sclerotherapy as the first-line treatment to avoid more invasive surgery. Ishaan was deeply anxious about the needle and potential scarring. The procedure, involving ultrasound-guided injections, was uncomfortable but tolerable. The following week, significant swelling made the lesion look worse before it began to shrink. Over three treatment sessions, the lump reduced by over 80%. While a slight texture remains, the discoloration is gone. Emotionally, Ishaan moved from a place of shame, hiding his face, to one of resilience and hope. He is back to singing confidently, viewing the slight remnant as a part of his journey rather than a defining flaw.
