How Bunion Surgery at Foot and Ankle Center of Iowa Transformed One Patient’s Life

Patient testimonial after Lapiplasty® bunion surgery

If you're having doubts about bunion surgery, don't! It really is worth it. For as long as I can remember, my feet hurt. It was hard to wear any kind of shoe without experiencing pain, and it affected what activities I wanted to do and those I didn't. 

My profession requires a lot of walking on hard surfaces, and I was always miserable. When your feet hurt, your whole body hurts. I didn't want to have bunion surgery because I had heard how painful and long the recovery process was. There was never a good time for that much downtime. 

And then I heard from a neighbor about Foot & Ankle Center of Iowa and their innovative Lapiplasty® 3D Bunion Correction and Adductoplasty™.  It changed everything for me. I was walking in a boot within three days of surgery, and six weeks later I was in athletic shoes. I had no pain from either procedure, and the scarring was minimal and continues to fade.

I'm one- and two-years post-surgery (had both feet done) and have had no complications or pain. I continue to wear good-quality athletic shoes, but I also wear cute sandals, flats, and dress shoes anytime I want, always without hesitation or regret.

Through a simple outpatient surgery, Foot and Ankle Center of Iowa gave me a quality of life I never knew I could have. Meet with them, see what they can do for you, and learn how affordable it is. You'll be happy you did.
