Cosmetic Foot Surgery
At Kim Foot and Ankle Center we also perform the following cosmetic foot procedures:
Cosmetic Bunion Surgery
Bunion surgery removes the painful bump either on top or on the side of the big toe joint. It is often performed to alleviate pain in this joint and/or to remove an unsightly foot condition. Our doctors are careful to minimize visual scarring by placing the incision on the side of the foot whenever possible, versus traditional incision placement leaving a highly visible scar on top of your foot.
Cosmetic Hammertoe Surgery
This surgical procedure corrects painful contracted toes. It may also remove unsightly corns. Visible scarring is minimized by placing the incision in between the toes. This eliminates highly visible scars left by traditional incision placement on the top of the toes.
Cosmetic Tailor' Bunion Surgery
This surgery removes a painful bump near the pinky toe. Visible scarring is minimized by placing the incisions on the side of the foot. This is a departure from traditional incision placement.
Cosmetic Toe Shortening Surgery
This procedure is most often performed on the second toe (next to the big toe) although any toe can be shortened. Like the hammertoe surgery, incisions are carefully placed between the toes so visible scarring is minimized.
Toe Tuck
This surgical procedure makes the pinky toe slimmer, and removes painful, unsightly corns. Patients are able to wear stylish shoes comfortably; without pain after this procedure.
Foot Facelift
A combination of the above procedures performed to narrow and enhance the appearance of the foot. Often patients will remark that their shoes feel "roomy" and wearing stylish shoes or heels is now a comfortable option.
