Foot shortening - had significant dysphoria with the size of my feet

foot shortening surgery

WORTH IT
First let me start by saying that FOOT SHORTENING SURGERY IS POSSBLE and that Dr Ali Sadrieh and his staff at EVO Advanced Foot Surgery are amazing. I’ve had many gender affirming surgeries i.e. FFS, BA, VFS, SRS, Butt & Hip Implants and FSS (Foot Shortening Surgery) and out of all of them, this was by far the best surgical experience. Dr Sadrieh understands the challenges that his patients with gender dysphoria struggle with and against popular opinion within podiatric medicine, he has pioneered a foot reduction procedure that consists of toe and metatarsal shortening. Prior to my surgery my shoe size was a women’s size 12 and now I’m a women’s 9.5, a full inch shorter.
I only share this because my experience was challenging in that I had significant dysphoria with the size of my feet and couldn’t find any resources more than toe shortening on the internet. I also had multiple consultations with foot surgeons which lead nowhere until I met Dr Ali Sadrieh.

Yes, the swelling has gone down a lot. The recovery was tough due to the swelling, although it was definitely worth it.

I’m 22 months post surgery now and swelling has gone down substantially, I’m back to being able to do everything I was able to before the surgery. I love being able to shop for shoes now that I can find them in my size. The recovery was tough due to the swelling, although it was definitely worth it.

Oh my god this is so helpful. Thank you for posting pictures. Some people scared me a little bit by saying that it would be painful to walk if I got toe shortening surgery. Honestly, thank you so so much for posting the results. Did you experience any pain? And until how long till it went away? Thank you so much for sharing your experience.!!

Do you remember how long it took until the swelling started to go down? Like how many months in. And where are you working? If yes, how long after the surgery. And I don’t know if you’re comfortable sharing what you paid but maybe a price range would be really helpful. Again, thank you so much because I’m honestly going through the same thing and it’s like the worst thing ever. Definitely my biggest insecurity. Cant wait to get the surgery
I honestly related so much to your post and it just made me so happy that I came across it and that there is such a thing
