Slimline Bunion Surgery

Developed by Dr. Emanuel Sergi of Park Avenue Podiatric Care, Slimline Bunion Surgery provides an innovative solution to those dealing with painful or unsightly bunions. The procedure offers multiple benefits over traditional surgical methods, including reduced scarring and faster recovery time. In fact, individuals are able to walk independently after undergoing Slimline Bunion Surgery.

Performed in a surgical center, the Slimline Bunion Surgery procedure involves two primary steps and requires the use of intravenous sedation and local anesthesia. Dr. Sergi first makes a medial incision close to the big toe. Once the foot is opened, he removes the bony protrusion and corrects any toe misalignment that may have developed due to the bunion. The second step involves a technique similar to liposuction, which allows him to remove redundant tissue.

After the procedure, patients can immediately bear weight on the affected foot and walk wearing a surgical shoe. Dr. Sergi prescribes medication for pain management to his patients after the procedure, but he finds that the Slimline method results in less pain compared to traditional techniques. With a reduced recovery time, those who undergo the procedure can expect to be wearing sneakers within four to five weeks and dress shoes within six to eight weeks.

In addition to Slimline Bunion Surgery, Dr. Emanuel Sergi offers a number of treatment services at his Park Avenue Podiatric Care practice. These include cosmetic foot procedures, hammertoe surgery, and laser fungus treatment. He also treats plantar fasciitis, corns, and calluses. Individuals with podiatric conditions can receive care at office locations in Manhattan and Staten Island. For more information about treatment options, please visit nycfootsurgery.com.
