Short answers from Dr. Maddy on the recovery questions she hears most at our Upper East Side and Staten Island offices.

How to Shower After Bunion Surgery

Keep the bandage clean, dry and intact. A cast cover or shower seat can help.

Can You Wear Heels After Bunion Surgery?

Often yes, if you wore heels before surgery, though very high heels can hurt anyone's feet.
