Minimally invasive bunion surgery is usually pretty successful if the bunions are not too severe and you only need the bunion fixed a little bit.

If you have more severe bunions then more involved surgery will usually be needed to correct the bunions and if it's causing you pain or you just don't like looking at the bunions then it can be worth it to have bunion surgery done.

I experienced some pain for a few weeks after bunion surgery but it was still worth it to correct my terrible looking bunions that made it hard to fit shoes as well.

I love sandals but hated wearing them in public with my crooked toes and bunions but now my toes are straight and look better so I wear sandals more often in the summertime.

The average cost of minimally invasive bunion surgery cost between $350.00 to $1,000.00 depending on how severe the bunion is and what needs done to correct it.

More involved bunion surgery can cost from $3,000.00 to $10,000.00 depending on the complexity of the bunion surgery and the surgeon doing it.

If the bunions are causing you pain then it's considered medical surgery and not cosmetic so in that case a health insurance plan will usually cover the cost of your bunion surgery.

If it's just cosmetic though the bunion surgery is usually not covered under most health insurance plans and if so then you'd need to pay out of pocket for the bunion surgery.

I had bunions with my toes really crooked and the big toes were grown outwards and it looked really bad and I just couldn't stand it so I took myself in and had bunion surgery done and it cost me $3,000.00 to have it done but to me it was well worth it because I feel much better and my toes look better.
