Have you ever considered having bunion surgery but you were concerned about the scar. Anytime an incision is made over the foot or any part of the body when the incision heals a scar can form. There are many out there that have had very successful bunion surgeries but have a very unsightly scar on the top of the foot. Here at the Advanced Foot And Ankle Center of San Diego, we utilized techniques that minimize scar visualization. There are times where it is absolutely necessary to have a visible scar but whenever possible we make sure that not only do you have an optimal correction but that you should not be able to see any incision or scarring. We use minimally open techniques that limit scar and pain and allow for quick recovery and quick weight-bearing. Many of our bunion patients are back into shoes within 6 weeks. The most common thing that we hear from her bunion patients is “wow! I cannot believe that it healed that fast”. If you have any questions about any foot issues please do not hesitate to make an appointment today.
