At Moore Foot and Ankle, we refer to this type of surgery as "Corrective Cosmetic Foot Surgery". We do this because of the nature of this type of surgery - one that has corrective procedures that coincide with the cosmetic outcome. Let's be honest, all patients are looking for the top or best cosmetic foot surgeon to evaluate their foot problem, perform their foot surgery, and correct their foot deformity with the best aesthetic result.
A bunion (Hallux Valgus) is an enlarged or prominent bone on the outside of the first, big toe joint. Most bunions are inherited and worsen as the joint responds to abnormal pressure on the foot from tight, restrictive, or flat shoes without support. Pain can range from dull to sharp depending on the amount of joint damage as well as the level of irritation and compression of the surrounding nerves.
Most tailor's bunions are inherited and form as the joint responds to abnormal pressure on the foot from tight, restrictive, or flat shoes without support. Bunionettes can cause major irritation and pain ranging from dull to sharp, and can impact daily activity, similar to bunions. We try to recommend conservative treatment to patients as the first level of care when it comes to treating bunionettes, rather than surgery.
One of the most common genetic toe problems is the long toe. The long second toe is the most common, and inspires the most patient complaints surrounding toenail pain and top of the toe pain. The top of the long toe can hit the inside of the front and top of the shoe, and cause painful friction.

Patients with long toe issues may also suffer from hammertoe condition, where the middle toes are bent upward, and can form uncomfortable corns or calluses.Depending on the patient's lifestyle, age, and severity of the issue, conservative treatment or surgical treatment may be recommended to help alleviate the pain involved with a long toe.
Another common genetic issue with the foot is a short toe, or Brachymetatarsia. Short toes are genetic and happen when one or more of the metatarsal bones in the foot are abnormally short. Although short toes typically don't cause as much pain or discomfort as hammertoes or long toes (although your weight distribution could be skewed if your short toe doesn't reach the ground), they are still an issue most people would like to fix.

Report
Dr. Lara Zacca is one of the best doctors I ever came across. She was in-tune to my needs and was very informative about my feet. She took care of my pain and was able to fix my feet.

She is a lifelong physician that I will always go to.
