Kim Zolciak-Biermann is saying bye-bye to her varicose veins! On Monday, April 15, the Don’t Be Tardy star took her Snapchat followers along as she got them removed.
“Guys, I'm at my doctor's office to check on the vein and how it's doing,” Kim, 40, told viewers. Though varicose veins are fairly common in Americans, women are twice as likely than men to develop them.
She also explained that the vein made its appearance following the birth of her youngest kids, Kaia and Kane, 5. “I needed to remove it a long time ago honey, compliments to my twins,” she said.
The mom of the six filmed as the doctor squeezed a gel onto her thighs and ran a machine up and down her leg.
Kim has been open about her previous trip under the knife and she remains unapologetic in the face of social media trolls and body shamers.
“I don’t know why they think my lips look so crazy,” she told Us Weekly in February. “I don’t really give two sh**s because half of them are calling the same doctor that did them and wants my lips, so it’s bizarre. I’m comfortable and happy with who I am.”
