We hear about all different sorts of medical and cosmetic issues facing celebrities. We hear about celebrity plastic surgery. We hear about celebrities that get Botox. We hear about celebrity infertility and pregnancy complications. We hear about celebrity tattoo removal. So why is that we don't hear about celebrity varicose veins?
Sure, there are some instances of hearing about celebrity varicose veins. Kristin Davis, Zooey Deschanel and Natalie Portman have all been hit by the media with rumors that they have - or have had treated - varicose veins. But for the most part, this is a topic that's in the closet.
One reason for this is that celebrity varicose veins simply aren't as common as other topics of conversation like celebrity Botox or plastic surgery. And it's partly because celebrities can easily hide varicose veins which may not be the case with other medical or cosmetic issues and choices. But it's also because the topic of varicose veins doesn't come up as much as other topics in normal conversation. This isn't something people talk about a lot.
