If you’re experiencing severe discomfort from a bunion, we offer relief with minimally invasive bunion removal surgery at our Rancho Santa Margarita and Newport Beach area podiatry clinic. Our office focuses on the utmost in safety and comfort.
Will the bunion come back after surgery?
While surgery aims to correct the deformity, there is a slight risk of recurrence. Following post-operative care instructions, wearing proper footwear, and maintaining foot health can help minimize the chances of a bunion returning.
Can bunion removal be done on both feet at the same time?
While it's possible to have both bunions removed simultaneously, many surgeons prefer to do one foot at a time to allow for easier mobility during the recovery period.
Are there alternative treatments to surgery for bunions?
Yes, conservative treatments include wearing wider shoes, using orthotic devices, applying ice, and taking anti-inflammatory medications. However, these may only manage symptoms and not correct the underlying structural issue.
How can I prevent bunions from returning after surgery?
Following the surgeon's postoperative instructions, wearing proper footwear, and maintaining good foot hygiene are key to preventing the recurrence of bunions. Regular check-ups with a healthcare professional are also recommended.
