Cosmetic Procedure

Corn Surgery

Corn surgery is a medical procedure used to remove painful corns, which are thickened areas of skin that develop due to pressure or friction, usually on the feet or toes. Corns are thickened, hardened layers of skin that typically form in response to repeated rubbing or pressure, often from tight shoes, poor hand positioning, or improper posture.

Corns on the hand may result from manual labor or using tools, while those on the foot or toes often arise due to ill-fitting footwear, abnormal foot mechanics, or certain activities like walking or running.

During the procedure, the surgeon carefully removes the hardened skin and may correct any underlying structural issues, such as bone deformities or misalignments, that are contributing to the corn’s formation. Corn surgery typically provides long-term relief from pain and allows patients to resume normal activities without discomfort. Whether on the hands or feet, corn surgery helps restore comfort and functionality, allowing patients to carry out daily activities without pain.

Why Corn Surgery is Needed ?

  • Persistent Pain: Corns can cause ongoing pain and discomfort, especially when walking, standing, or using the hands. Surgery may be required if conservative treatments do not provide relief.
  • Difficulty in Daily Activities: Corns on the feet or hands can make it challenging to perform daily tasks such as walking, wearing shoes, gripping, or holding objects. Surgery can restore function and comfort.
  • Preventing Complications: If corns are left untreated, they can lead to skin infections or ulcers, especially in individuals with diabetes or poor circulation. Surgery helps prevent such complications.
  • Underlying Structural Issues: Corns may be caused by bone deformities or misalignments that exert pressure on the skin. Surgery can correct these issues, reducing the chances of future corns developing.

frequently asked questions

Is the surgery painful?
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so patients experience minimal discomfort during the surgery. Mild soreness or swelling may occur post-surgery, but it is easily manageable.
When is corn surgery necessary?
Surgery is needed when corns are severe, recurrent, cause significant pain, or do not respond to conservative treatments like padding, footwear changes, or creams.
How long does corn surgery take?
The procedure usually takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the complexity and number of corns being removed.
When is the best time to undergo scar revision surgery?
Recovery typically takes 1 to 2 weeks. Most patients can walk or use their hands the same day, though some may need to limit activity until healing is complete.
Will the corn come back after surgery?
Surgery usually provides long-term relief, but if underlying causes like improper footwear or bone deformities aren’t addressed, corns may return.
Can I walk immediately after corn surgery?
Most patients can walk after foot corn surgery, but it’s recommended to limit pressure on the foot for the first few days to ensure proper healing.
