Some doctors throw the words "minimally invasive" or "pain free" surgery or bunion surgery.
There is no such thing as pain free. Pain after bunion surgery is usually very mild. Most patients can stop pain medication 2-3 days after surgery. Some patients never even take the painmeds .
What is minimally invasive? A 1 inch incision? No incision?
When I dosurgery it is Always minimally invasive. I make the incision the smallest size possible to achieve a goal. I have minimal swelling after surgery because of my ability to correctly handle the tissues.
Where is the incision placed? I place mine so it is not so obvious that you had surgery.
Do not fall into the trap of fancy words.
Talk to your doctor. You should never be pressured or forced into surgery. Your doctor needs to give you all the options.
You should feel comfortable with your doctor. Google his/her name? What are the reviews? Are there any legal problems?
Best of luck. Don't be scared to obtain a second opinion.
