Hello! Is it possible to actually shorten a toe? Mine is really embarrasing and I cannot seem to find an answer anywhere on the web. Any help that can be offered is much appreciated. Thanks!
Your request points to a looming conflict in podiatry. Cosmetic vs. necessary surgery. I feel that foot surgery should be done to relieve pain and restore function. Keep in mind this is my own opinion and I do not speak for anyone else. The simple answer is- yes the surgery can be done, if you can find someone to do it. Since it would seem to be cosmetic, one would not expect insurance to cover the costs. You might consider this point.
