Anita C. Posted November 15, 2003 Share Posted November 15, 2003 First, I wasn't experiencing problems BEFORE the surgery . . . I did it because I'm VAIN!!! Hard to believe, huh. The surgery was done 15 years ago. It was successful. After 2 weeks I was back in 5.5" Stilettos! I have had surgeries before and after my footsies! I've had: Facelift, Tummy tuck, Liposuction (everywhere!), Breast Augmentation & lift (2), hand & wrist (carpel tunnel repair) . . . Yep-I'm kind of an ongoing project! My file at the Surgeons is a 3-ring binder that is almost full ! Working hard to correct the effects of time & gravity! My Surgeon has performed surgery to narrow the foot on several folks of BOTH genders/sexes. O U C H ! Yes, the surgeries were elective. NO, my insurance didn't cover them Any other questions? Bring 'em on! OOPS! No, I have no regrets & will probably have more done as time marches on! "Spike Heels . . a Pork-pie hat . . Have on the mend in no time flat . .

Mickey68 Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 AnitaC.--- Just wanted to remind you what Joan Rivers looks like after her various surgeries - you don't want to look like a CAT LADY! Why would you want to go thru all that pain? TOOTLES!!! Mickey68 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dancer Girl Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 I have not had toes shorten or removed (which I have seen) but my tendons re-done after one was torn. They are both shortened so my heels are not able to touch the ground but allows me to wear higher heels. Sheryl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adeana Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 I have a good 20 years to go, but have a few friends in their 40's and I have noticed, and if I were them, now, I'd have the surgery. I would. Does anyone ever Email anymore? Send me one! I like to chat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dancer Girl Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Sorry my feet look not so attractive but I would never shorten my toes. This seems even drastic for me. Anyone here ever done that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adeana Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 OK...this might be a wierd reply, but it kinda relates to this. 'YES' I have been wearing a lot of pointy toe heels and shoes over the course of the years lately. 'YES' I was gettign ready to out one eve and had a dress on and a pair of strappy stiletto sandals. 'YES' I noticed that my big toe on each foot was pointing in toward the rest of my toes and kinda formed a '^' and the straps held them there like that without any pain, discomfort, etc. it kinda surprised me how much '^' they kinda took! I am guessing it is from wearing pointy toe shoes so much?? Does anyone ever Email anymore? Send me one! I like to chat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thehighheelsgirl Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 My feet are the same way from wearing my pointy heels. My big toes are pushed in and the rest of my toes are very tapered. Guess it's wut u get if u live in stilettos Jen Yes, I do walk in these Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoundOfLight Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 I would never imagine this could be done. It just never came to my mind it could be the problem. I wouldn't do it myself, but I guess it's fine, if someone thinks it has to be done After all, we whiten our teeth, do our nails, take care of our skin and hair, so why not toes?

sharon Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Iv been wearing stilettos now for about 15 years,what iv noticed is a largening of both big toe joints and when in high heel sandals my big toes angle was very pointy across,i strugle some times to get my large big toe joints in my slim dainty shoes,so for me Yes i will consider having surgery to correct my feet if they become more out of shape. shaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

temperance Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Here is a topic for every one to thing about..... Would you have surgery to shorten your toes so that your shoes fit better???? Couldnt you just buy decent quality shoes that would fit well, maybe made to measure? Undergoing surgery so shoes fit better seems a bit drastic to me, i do sometimes have problems with getting shoes to fit comfortably due to having odd sized feet, but i doubt i would ever shorten my toes to accommodate a shoe...

Amanda Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 Would you have surgery to shorten your toes so that your shoes fit better???? I think it's a very lazy way to go just because you can't be bothered to find shoes that are properly fitting. My god what if your hat was too small! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sophie5271 Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Hmmm... I don't think I'd have a whole foot-size reduction, but I'd definitely consider having the overall foot appearance changed... you know, have the toes straightened etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M-a Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Nope, I'm not going to surgically change my body when it's way much easier to just buy a different size.. 1 “Sometimes you have to sacrifice your performance for high heels” www.heelsoholic.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dawnie Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 No! I like my heels but I have other things I like also that I cant do in heels. Dawnie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erica2Sweet Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Personally, I wouldn't even consider it. The functionality of my feet are way too important for an elective surgery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karen Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Yes, I agree. Unless you want to wear high heels permanently, altering your feet can impact the way you do other things when not wearing heels. I tend to be active in tennis, I enjoy a good run from time to time, and there are days when I just need to relax from wearing heels. Remember, Ginger Rogers did everything Fred Astaire did, but she did it backwards and in high heels. -- Faith Whittlesey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eoneleg Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 I am told that I have an attractive foot and my toes are nice as well. I have no problems at all in my usual four-inche stiletto and sometimes five inches. That and having one foot make me say that I would not consider the surgery. And, ditto about Joan Rivers, sad that she cannot just be herself. E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
