How To Remove An Extra Toe?

i am 20 years old and i was born with 6 fingers and toes on both hands and feet, at a very young age my parents took me to have my 6th finger removed to help prevent any teasing etc however i am stll left with my extra toes, i have never been comfortable with it and i feel it prevents me from doing what seems normal things for everybody else, i just really want them removed so i was wondering if you could help me with the risks etc and point me in the right direction if it is at all possible. many thanks

HI
Well come to HCM
If this is the extra digit then this can easily be removed with surgery and for this you have to see the orthopedic surgeon there would be no side effect of this, this being removed under the local anesthesia only, hope this information helps, take care.
