Nanoplasty® FAQs

Is Nanoplasty® better than traditional surgery?

It depends on the severity of the bunion. Nanoplasty® is excellent for select patients but not appropriate for all cases.

How small are the incisions?

Incisions are significantly smaller than traditional surgery, often only a few millimeters.

Will I need physical therapy?

Some patients benefit from guided exercises, depending on recovery progress.

How soon can I walk?

Many patients walk in a protective shoe shortly after surgery.

Does Nanoplasty® leave scars?

Scarring is minimal due to the small incision size.
