Cosmetic Foot Surgery
in Los Angeles
Foot procedures that restore both comfort and the natural look of your foot, performed by Dr. Alexis Dixon, MD, FAAOS, a board-certified orthopaedic foot & ankle surgeon in Marina Del Rey.
Form & Function
What Is Cosmetic Foot Surgery?
Cosmetic foot surgery improves the appearance of the foot while protecting, or restoring, how it works. For Dr. Dixon, the two always go together.
Many patients are self-conscious about a bunion that widens the foot, a hammertoe that rubs in sandals, or a bump that makes shoes fit poorly. The same conditions that affect how your foot looks are usually the ones causing discomfort. Correcting them can give you a foot that both feels better and looks more natural in open footwear.
As a board-certified orthopaedic surgeon, Dr. Dixon takes a conservative, medically grounded approach: she recommends surgery when there’s a genuine functional and structural reason for it, never a purely cosmetic operation that could compromise the long-term health of your foot.
A Surgeon's Approach
Procedures That Improve Comfort & Appearance
Common foot concerns Dr. Dixon corrects with both function and aesthetics in mind include:
- Bunion correction, realigns the great toe and narrows the forefoot
- Hammertoe & bunionette correction, straightens toes and smooths the foot’s profile
- Bony bump (exostosis) removal, reduces visible prominences that rub in shoes
- Soft-tissue masses, such as ganglion cysts that change the foot’s shape
Every plan starts with an honest conversation about what’s realistic, what’s medically advisable, and what recovery looks like.
Why See a Board-Certified Orthopaedic Surgeon (MD)?
Cosmetic foot procedures still involve bones, joints, and tendons. A board- certified orthopaedic foot & ankle surgeon is trained to improve appearance without sacrificing the mechanics that keep you walking, running, and pain- free. Aesthetics should never come at the cost of function.
