What Our Patients Say
I am so thrilled with Mr Bianchi and his team at The Private Clinic. The care was wonderful, and on surgery day, I was so well looked after. The results of my bunion surgery are incredible, and my only regret is not doing it sooner. Thank you
– Ciara
Very pleased with the results of my bunion removal. My foot returned to normal six weeks after surgery. Walking out of the hospital without crutches was a major benefit. The incisions were so small that I couldn’t even find them when changing the bandage.
– Peter
No pain during or after and walking normally straight away. My foot is perfectly straight and it’s impossible to see where the incision was made. Absolutely recommend, it’s quite incredible.

Frequently Asked Questions
The Private Clinic has over 40 years of experience. Our expert team is ready to answer your questions and provide peace of mind. Below are some common FAQs about Bunions & Bunion Surgery. Rest assured, all questions will be addressed in detail during your consultation.
You will be required to wear an open surgical shoe/boot to stabilise the operation foot post-operatively. This will need to be worn until your main bandage is removed around day 25-30 following your procedure.
It is best to wear a shoe of the same/similar height as the untreated foot to maintain body alignment. An ‘Evenup shoe balancer’ can be purchased to assist with this. It can be placed over your normal shoe to provide alignment.
Yes, it is still important to rest your foot following this type of bunion surgery – especially during the first couple of weeks.
The foot can swell and the bandage will become tight and uncomfortable. Elevating the foot when you are sitting will help to alleviate this.
Whilst walking is also encouraged, we recommend listening to your body and not trying to do too much too soon.
Depending on the nature of their job role and their commute to work, most patients can return to work in the days following their procedure.
Patients can usually get back to exercise around 8 to 12 weeks following their procedure. Strenuous or high-impact activities can take a bit longer to return too and are best done gradually.
The Private Clinic has several clinics so we are sure to have a bunion clinic located near you.
