Is it possible to have surgery to make your toe smaller?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Be careful: While people do have surgery to shorten toe, be careful. I don't recommend cosmetic foot surgery unless there is pain involved. Remember, your feet are primarily there for walking without pain. If they are doing this, then i suggest leaving them alone. If there is pain in shoes or when walking, then visit a podiatrist to learn your options.
