AMERICAN COLEGE OF FOOT AND ANKLE SURGEONS AND THE AMERICAN ORTHOPAEDIC FOOT AND ANKLE SOCIETY HAVE STRONGLY CONDEMNED COSMETIC FOOT SURGERY

BOTH THE AMERICAN COLLEGE OF FOOT AND ANKLE SURGEONS (ACFAS) AND THE AMERICAN ORTHOPAEDIC FOOT AND ANKLE SOCIETY (AOFAS) HAVE STRONGLY CONDEMNED COSMETIC FOOT SURGERY.  BOTH GROUPS ARGUE THAT SURGERY SHOULD NEVER BE UNDERTAKEN SOLELY TO IMPROVE THE APPEARANCE OF THE FEET.  THE AMERICAN PODIATRIC MEDICAL ASSOCIATION TAKES THE SAME STANCE, BUT PODIATRISTS APPEAR TO BE THE DOCTORS WHO MOSTLY DO COSMETIC FOOT SURGERY.

REPORTEDLY, ORTHOPAEDIC SURGEONS AND OTHERS WHO TREAT FEET HAVE SEEN PLENTY OF BOTCHED JOBS ON WOMEN WHO UNDERWENT COSMETIC FOOT SURGERY.  IF ONE OF THESE OPERATIONS DOESN'T WORK OUT WELL, THE ENSUING COMPLICATIONS CAN LIMIT THE ABILITY TO WALK, DANCE, OR ENGAGE IN SPORTS.  EVEN IF YOUR FEET TURN OUT LOOKING AS GOOD AS YOU HOPED, YOUR BALANCE CAN BE  AFFECTED.  THE RISKS ARE NEVER WORTH IT.

AT OUR FOOT CLINIC IT TAKES OVER 2 WEEKS TO GET AN APPOINTMENT.  THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE SUFFERING FROM FOOT PROBLEMS THAT NEED ATTENTION WITHOUT TAKING ADVANTAGE OF WOMEN JUST BECAUSE YOU WANT TO INCREASE THE BALANCE OF YOUR BANK ACCOUNT.  THE JOB OF A HEALTH PROFESSIONAL IS TO GIVE YOUR PATIENTS WHAT THEY NEED, NOT WHAT THEY WANT OR TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF FEMALES MONETARILY.
