Bunion Surgery with Virtually No Visible Scars
Dr. Bregman performs state-of-the-art minimally invasive bunionectomy through tiny 2–5 mm portals — correcting the deformity with precision, minimal tissue disruption, and a faster return to normal activity.
What Is a Bunion?
A bunion (hallux valgus) is a bony prominence that forms at the base of the big toe when the first metatarsal bone gradually drifts outward while the big toe angles inward. The result is a painful, often inflamed bump on the inner side of the foot that can make wearing shoes extremely uncomfortable and interfere with daily activities.
Bunions are progressive — they do not resolve on their own and will worsen over time without intervention. Factors that contribute to their development include hereditary foot structure, improper footwear, and biomechanical imbalances.
When conservative measures such as orthotics, wider shoes, and padding fail to provide adequate relief, surgical correction offers a definitive solution. Dr. Bregman's minimally invasive approach achieves excellent deformity correction while dramatically reducing the visible scarring and recovery time associated with traditional open bunion surgery.
Why Choose Minimally Invasive Bunion Surgery?
Tiny Incisions
2–5 mm portals instead of a 5–7 cm open incision — virtually no visible scarring at 6 weeks.
Faster Recovery
Most patients are walking in a surgical shoe the same day and return to regular shoes in 6–8 weeks.
Less Pain
Minimal soft tissue disruption means significantly less post-operative pain and swelling.
Precise Correction
Fluoroscopic guidance ensures accurate bone cuts and hardware placement for lasting correction.
Outpatient Procedure
Performed under local anesthesia or light sedation — no hospital stay required.
