Women Undergoing Foot Surgery To Fit Into Heels Better
After Dr. Hillary Brenner completed a toe shortening procedure for a patient who was constantly in pain, she noticed an influx of women asking her to provide toe shortening services for themselves -- for completely cosmetic purposes. She's turned them all down.
"I only do surgeries for people having pain," Brenner, a podiatric surgeon with Tribeca Private Medical Group and a member of the American Podiatric Medical Association, said to CBSNews.com. "If you're not, you don't have surgery."
Despite the risks, women are increasingly requesting cosmetic foot procedures -- including shortening their toes, adding collagen to their heels and even removing their pinky toe -- in order to fit into those sky-high stilettos. Others opt to lop parts off in order to fit into a smaller size. More
I've always been taught that if it doesn't fit, try on another size shoe. Isn't that cheaper than surgically reconstructing your foot to fit each shoe?
Podiatrists always advise that a person wear shoes that are comfortable and fit properly. I worked for a podiatris that always said that the women wearing heels would be his future patients, and he was correct. I have not worn heels on any regular basis for close to 35 years now. I put a pair on, get as far as the front door, turn around and go get a wonderfully comfortable paid of shoes. Comfort does not mean ugly!

Those feet are dirty and nasty looking.
