Frequently Asked Questions

Is bunion removal surgery always necessary to treat bunion symptoms?

Bunion removal surgery is not always necessary to treat bunion symptoms – in fact, most bunions can be relieved using non-surgical methods such as the ones Dr. Izzo employs.

What can I expect after non-surgical bunion removal?

After non-surgical bunion removal, you can expect some degree of swelling for 6 to 12 months, which may limit your ability to wear certain shoes. The recovery time can vary depending on the complexity of the procedure, but it generally takes several weeks to months. Initially, there may be swelling and discomfort, and your foot may remain swollen to some degree for several months.

That said, every patient is unique, and Dr. Izzo will work with you to understand your recovery period and make recommendations for your success.

Does insurance typically cover bunion removal near me?

When deemed medically necessary, most Pennsylvania insurers will cover bunion removal. It is important to check with your particular insurance plan to find out the specific details of coverage for this type of procedure.
