Bunions are a common yet often painful condition that can significantly affect your daily life. Characterized by a bony bump forming at the base of the big toe, bunions can cause swelling, redness, discomfort, and even difficulty wearing shoes or walking. Left untreated, they may worsen over time, impacting mobility and overall foot health.
At Paragon Podiatry, we are proud to offer innovative, minimally invasive bunion surgery. This advanced procedure involves precise, small incisions to correct the bone and realign the joint, minimizing trauma to the surrounding tissues. With state-of-the-art technology, this approach reduces pain, shortens recovery time, and minimizes scarring compared to traditional surgeries.
Our minimally invasive bunion surgery is a precise and patient-focused process designed to deliver optimal results with maximum comfort. Here's how it works:

With our expertise and dedication to patient comfort, we help you return to a pain-free, active lifestyle. From consultation to recovery, Paragon Podiatry is committed to getting you back on your feet with confidence.
Some of the most common bunion symptoms include a bulging bump on the outside of the base of the big toe, swelling, redness, or soreness around the big toe joint, persistent or intermittent pain, restricted movement of the big toe, and calluses or corns where the first and second toes overlap.
Minimally invasive bunionectomy surgery offers several benefits, including reduced postoperative pain, smaller incisions leading to minimal scarring, shorter recovery time, and less disruption to surrounding tissues. It often results in a quicker return to normal activities compared to traditional surgical methods.
The recovery period from bunion removal surgery typically involves several stages. Initially, for the first few days, you can expect swelling and discomfort, which can be managed with prescribed pain medication and keeping the foot elevated. You'll likely need to wear a surgical boot or cast to protect your foot and promote healing.
Over the next few weeks, you'll gradually transition from using crutches or a walker to putting more weight on your foot. Physical therapy may be recommended to help restore mobility and strength. Swelling and stiffness can persist for several months, and full recovery can take six months to a year, depending on the extent of the surgery and individual healing rates. Always follow the instructions offered by Dr. Isaacson or Dr. Edwards.
