Common questions

How long is bunion surgery recovery?

Most people are in a surgical shoe or boot for about six weeks, back in regular shoes around six to twelve weeks, and fully recovered in four to six months. Timelines vary with the technique your surgeon uses.

Do bunions always need surgery?

No. Wider shoes, pads, spacers, and orthotics manage symptoms for many people. Surgery is typically considered when pain persists despite those measures, not for appearance alone.

Will the bunion come back?

Recurrence is possible over the years, though modern realignment techniques aim to correct the root deformity. Following post-operative instructions and footwear guidance may help protect the correction.
