The Perfect 10! Aesthetic Toe Shortening™

There’s an old myth that if the lesser toes on your foot are longer than the great toe, the person is supposed to be lucky… regardless of the truth of this myth, most people who have a longer second or lesser toes (toes 2 through 5) suffer with difficult task of finding shoes that fit and eventually developing structural deformities called hammertoes. The fact is that shoes aren’t made for optimal biomechanical control and fit to an individual’s foot. Thus, when a person inherits long lesser toes they end up getting smaller shoes in order to get a better fit for function.

Toes that are too long bunch up when wearing heels

When it came to correcting these problems, I couldn’t accept the status quo and continue providing my patients with old fashioned procedures that had long recovery times, unreliable results, and visible scars.

I decided to create a solution that didn’t involve extensive recovery and was painless with hidden incisions.  This vision emerged in 2004 as the revolutionary outpatient procedure that effectively shortened long lesser digits… The Perfect 10! Aesthetic Toe Shortening™.  This trademarked procedure is performed with cosmetic technique so there is no evidence of surgery when the surgical site has healed, but still takes into consideration all the important functional aspects of traditional hammertoe surgery. With the use of high tech internal fixation, we’re able to provide our patients with a result that is permanent, beautiful and involves a easy and short recovery.

Internal fixation with no wires sticking out after surgery

Imagine… no more toes hanging off the end of those open-toed shoes; or no more corns on the top of those toes because they have been hammered in closed shoes for years! This procedure differs significantly from the commonly performed hammertoe correction. Older techniques require wires that stick out to hold the toe during recovery which means keeping your feet dry for 4 to 6 weeks after surgery. These older techniques also have a high risk of infection during the recovery period and are often painful with a not-so-cosmetic result.

If toes are too long, they can also hang off the edge when you wear heels

Since the introduction of The Perfect 10! Aesthetic Toe Shortening™ in 2004, the press, media and patients have been buzzing about this remarkable and revolutionary surgery.  The 20 minute procedure can be performed under local anesthesia only and the patient can walk on the foot immediately.  The recovery is painless and the recovery period allows the patient to continue with their regular activities, and working (with the exception of getting the foot wet) for only 2 weeks.

By developing such a simple procedure, it was inevitable that eventually there would be imitators who try to capitalize on the words “Aesthetic Toe Shortening”. And although I consider imitation to be the sincerest form of flattery, ensuring the integrity of this procedure and the well being of my patients is very important to me.  That is why I encourage consultations with other doctors, and then with our practice.  I am confident you will experience the difference. With tried and true results and over 3500 procedures performed, there is only one place to go for the original aesthetic toe shortening… Beverly Hills Aesthetic Foot Surgery.
