Bunion Surgery Recovery: What to Expect from Your Orlando Podiatrist

Bunions, painful bony bumps at the big toe joint, affect many in Orlando, Lake Mary, Longwood, and Sanford, FL, often from genetics or tight shoes. Surgery, led by Dr. Chris Mason at our podiatry clinic, corrects them, with recovery taking 6-8 weeks.

What to Expect from Surgery

Bunion surgery (bunionectomy) realigns the toe and removes the bony bump. Dr. Chris Mason uses minimally invasive techniques for faster recovery.

Recovery Timeline

• Week 1-2: Rest, ice, and elevate; wear a surgical boot.

• Week 3-6: Transition to weight-bearing with crutches.

• Month 4-6: Full recovery, resuming normal activities.

Post-Op Tips

• Follow Dr. Chris Mason’s instructions for wound care.

• Attend follow-ups to monitor healing.

• Wear wide-toe shoes post-recovery, ideal for Sanford’s climate.

Non-Surgical Options

For mild cases, Dr. Chris Mason may recommend orthotics or padding.
