The Surgical Process

Pre-operative Consultation

Your journey begins with a comprehensive evaluation, where we take the time to understand your unique foot anatomy and symptoms. This includes a detailed physical exam and weight-bearing X-rays to assess the severity of your bunion and the alignment of your bones. Based on these findings, we’ll develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your condition and lifestyle. This consultation is also your opportunity to ask questions, discuss expectations, and feel fully informed and confident about the procedure.

The Procedure

Our minimally invasive bunion correction is performed using specialized instruments through tiny incisions—each just a few millimeters long. These small entry points allow us to precisely correct the bunion, realign the bones of the foot, and stabilize the joint without the need for plates, screws, or other internal hardware. The procedure is designed to reduce trauma to surrounding tissues, resulting in less pain and a quicker recovery. The entire process from walk in to walk out is completed in under two hours.

Post-operative Care

Immediately after surgery, your foot will be gently wrapped in a soft dressing to protect the area and support healing. Patients are able to bear weight and walk—carefully—on the same day as the procedure. Unlike traditional bunion surgeries that may require weeks of immobility, our approach allows many patients to resume light daily activities soon after. You’ll receive a personalized recovery plan, including follow-up visits, instructions for at-home care, and gradual activity progression to support a smooth and successful healing process.
