Surgical procedures of the foot are generally performed for
the relief of pain, restoration of function and the
reconstruction of deformities. There is also an additional
benefit of an improved appearance. Surgical procedures
performed solely for aesthetic purposes poses the same risks
as procedures for more traditional reasons. Patients
considering foot surgery, whether medical or aesthetic
reasons, are advised to consult a podiatrist who has the
appropriate training, experience, and credentials to
properly perform the surgery, manage the post-operative care
and treat possible complications |
