Aug. 8, 2011 - PRLog -- Dr. Emmanuel Sergi, a leading New York podiatrist, announces the development of Slimline Bunion Surgery™. The procedure, which offers patients optimal functional and cosmetic results following bunion removal, is available through Park Avenue Podiatric Care’s Manhattan, Brooklyn, or Staten Island locations.

In the past, bunion removal was considered a functional foot procedure necessary to relieve the chronic pain bunions cause. According to Dr. Sergi, today’s patients are also concerned with the overall look of their feet. In addition to eliminating the pain caused by bunions, there is an emphasis on making feet more cosmetically appealing.

Slimline Bunion Surgery™ provides patients with a better cosmetic outcome because it results in significantly less scarring than other techniques. Most traditional bunion removal techniques use a dorsal incision, resulting in permanent visible scarring on the top of the foot. During Slimline Bunion Surgery™, Dr. Sergi removes the bunion through a medial incision. According to Dr. Sergi, “A medial incision, which is an incision on the inside of the foot, results in fine to almost no scarring. For the first eight to nine weeks after surgery, patients will see a small scar. After one year, there will be virtually no visible scar.”  Following the removal of the bunion, Dr. Sergi removes any redundant tissue using a suctioning technique similar to liposuction. “By cleaning out any redundant tissue, I am able to offer my patients the best possible aesthetic outcome,” says Dr. Sergi.

Dr. Sergi’s Slimline Bunion Surgery™ also differs from other techniques in its method of skin closure. Unlike traditional bunion surgeries, Slimline Bunion Surgery™ does not leave behind sutures that need to be removed after the procedure.

Ultimately, Slimline Bunion Surgery™ offers patients quality results with minimal downtime. “After Slimline Bunion Surgery™, my patients are weight-bearing instantly,” says Dr. Sergi. “They can walk right out of the operating room wearing a surgical shoe and experience less pain post-operatively than patients who have traditional bunion removal surgery,” he says. Patients are given pain medications to help manage any discomfort they may experience. In many cases, patients find they no longer need medication within days after the procedure, according to Dr. Sergi.

Slimline Bunion Surgery™ is performed by Dr. Sergi at Park Avenue Podiatric Care. In addition to the Manhattan location, Slimline Bunion Surgery™ is offered in Dr. Sergi’s Staten Island and Brooklyn locations, which opened in June, 2011. “We are excited to bring high quality podiatric care to the Staten Island and Brooklyn areas,” says Dr. Sergi.
