Tel: 239-430-3668In this patient testimonial, we talk about the scarless minimally invasive bunionectomy — also called the 5 mm bunionectomy — and how we’re able to correct a bunion through such a tiny incision with so little pain. At eight weeks out, the result speaks for itself.
How Is a 5 mm Bunionectomy Possible?
The answer is working with the body rather than against it. By keeping the incision very small, we leave the ligaments, tendons, and the bone’s covering (the periosteum) intact — the very structures that feed and heal the bone. Using modern intraoperative X-ray, we guide the surgical instruments live, in real time. That combination lets us perform an aggressive, effective bunion correction without the collateral soft-tissue damage of traditional open surgery — which is exactly why patients have so much less pain.
What the 8-Week Mark Tells Us
By eight weeks, most minimally invasive bunion patients are back in regular shoes and returning to normal activity, with the bone well on its way to full healing. The near-invisible incision is one of the most common things patients comment on — a world away from the long scar of conventional surgery.
