Before & After Minimally Invasive Bunion Surgery Procedure
Minimally invasive bunion surgery in the United States typically costs between $3,500 and $7,500, depending on the severity of the bunion and specific clinical needs. At DeNiel Foot & Ankle Center in Houston, TX, we provide transparent, personalized surgical plans to help patients understand their exact costs before moving forward with treatment.
Several factors influence the total price, including the complexity of the deformity, your surgeon’s experience, the type of hardware used (such as screws or fixation devices), and the anesthesia selected—local, regional, or general. Facility fees can also vary, with hospital-based procedures costing more than surgeries performed in our preferred outpatient surgical centers.
For many patients, minimally invasive bunion surgery proves to be more cost-effective than traditional open surgery. The technique typically involves smaller incisions, reduced soft-tissue trauma, faster recovery times, and fewer postoperative visits, which can lower both direct and indirect costs—especially for those needing to return to work quickly.
If your bunion causes significant pain, difficulty walking, or progression of deformity, insurance may cover part or all of the procedure. At DeNiel Foot & Ankle Center, we work closely with your insurance provider to determine eligibility and medical necessity. Documentation may include pain symptoms, gait issues, failure of conservative treatments, and X-ray evidence. Insurance does not cover cosmetic bunion correction.
During your consultation, Dr. Eji Shobowale will perform a detailed examination of your foot, take X-rays to assess bone alignment, and determine whether you are a good candidate for minimally invasive bunion surgery. You will receive a comprehensive cost breakdown, which may include:
Surgeon’s fees
Anesthesia fees
Surgical facility or operating room charges
Postoperative supplies (such as a boot or dressings)
Pre- and postoperative imaging
Hardware costs (if required)
For patients without insurance or those seeking elective correction, our office offers options such as self-pay pricing, CareCredit, and flexible payment plans to make treatment more accessible.
