4 weeks post-operatively, our patient has graciously offered to share her Cosmetic Bunion Surgery experience.
The procedure is performed at an out patient surgical center under a light general anesthesia. The new techniques we use include a small incision, non-metallic bone fixation device, and sutures under the skin for a more attractive incision without 'needle track' marks.
For those who would like to watch the surgery performed, see the link below. The techniques are highlighted in the video as well as the fixation device used. Viewer discretion is advised since this is an actual surgery performed in a hospital setting.

Now following up for a quick x-ray check to confirm this stage of healing, she is able to return to any shoe that feels comfortable. The incision will continue to exfoliate (peel), shrink and lose it's color over a 3-9 month period. Exercise and returning to activities more intense than normal walking is safe around 6-8 weeks.
