Varicose veins surgery benefits for older adult.

Is it beneficial to have laser surgery for lumpy twisted varicose veins ? .  Is one doing harm by putting off surgery indefinitely? I wonder  if it prevents risk of  dvt or stasis ulcers ? Do the veins just grow back? How long does the surgery tend to last? How does one stay as healthy as possible.  Personally  I find compression hose hot ,cumbersome so rarely use them. I miss wearing shorts in public and I put up with some leg cramps now and then.
