Flat foot sx: The procedures vary so it depends what is done. Also depends if you sit or stand at work. Most radical surgery would take about 8 weeks to heel but discuss with surgeon.

flat feet : It depends on the work needed. As the others said , best to speak to your surgeon before surgery. That way everyone is on the same page.
