What Is Minimal Invasive Surgery?

Minimal invasive surgery uses tiny cuts instead of one large one. This method reduces tissue damage, lessens pain, and speeds up healing. At Cosmetic Foot & Ankle, we use modern tools and techniques to care for your foot and ankle gently.

When Is Minimal Invasive Surgery Recommended?

This type of surgery is a good choice when:

Pain Reduction is Key: Small cuts often mean less pain after the procedure. Faster Healing is Needed: Many patients return to their daily activities sooner. Lower Risk of Infection: Fewer cuts reduce the chance of infection. Better Cosmetic Results: Smaller scars can help you feel more confident.
