Depends: We don't know what your foot looks like now or which bunion surgery you are having. If that is your primary concern though you need to express that to your doctor. Not all surguries heal precisely on a time table.

High heels: Everyone heals at a different rate so impossible to answer. Also depends on what procedure you had, how much swelling and range of motion. Talk to your doc to give you a estimate.

Dessert shoes.: As a rule, you should wear supportive shoes. High heels do not fall into that category. It's the same principle as nutrition: you can't eat chocolate cake all day long, but if you maintain a healthy, nutritious diet, you can splurge on dessert. If you wear supportive shoes all day, you can wear heels to an event or out with friends for a finite amount of time. Ultimately, ask your surgeon!
