Possible but...: It may be possible but this is considered cosmetic surgery. The american orthopaedic foot and ankle society has a position statement against this type of surgery. You can view it at: www.Aofas.Org.

DON'T DO THAT: Don't do that. As the old saying goes; "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." What if you have surgery for this very elective problem, and things don't go as planned? Dr. Latva
