Yes: In many cultures, the appearance of feet is aesthetically extremely important. Proportionality, symmetry and youthful healthy appearing feet are highly valued. Cosmetic procedures to correct and improve feet aesthetics include liposuction, fat transfer, peels, lasers, and topicals. Also, orthopedic and podiatric procedures may contribute to cosmetic enhancement of the feet.

Of course: The cosmetic appearance of the feet is very important to many individuals and obvious grooming such as pedicures, exfoliation, callous shaving, etc are indicative of this. The feet are rarely treated in isolation without looking at the ankles and calves. Surgical treatments addressing the veins, fat, muscle, skin and bone are intended to enhance the cosmetic appearance.

Yes: This is a developing area, but a little outside of the mainstream of popular cosmetic procedures.

Yes: I agree with the other physicians, but cosmetic surgery for the feet can also be for function, not just beauty. There is a procedure that is commonly done for women where fillers or fat are injected into the ball of the feet to reduce pain related to wearing high heels.
