What Causes Dent On Foot After A Bunionectomy?
Just wanted to know if I should mention this to my doc.....I had Bunionectomy last October and tonight, I noticed there's a dent in the foot the surgery was performed on. The dent is just to the right of the scar. Is this a result of something I did or is it "normal" post bunionectomy?

Post bunionectomy because extra bone is removed so you may feel a dent at that place, it is quite normal and not serious. I would suggest you to take opinion from your surgeon about it next time you meet him. No need to be hurry though and you can wait till next appointment.
