COSMETIC FOOT SURGERY

Combining Function and Beauty for Healthier, More Confident Feet

At her Upper East Side Manhattan practice, Dr. Krista Archer performs all foot and ankle surgeries with a cosmetic approach, ensuring your feet feel better—and look better, too.

Trained alongside top plastic surgeons, Dr. Archer integrates plastic surgery techniques into every procedure she performs, prioritizing aesthetically refined incisions, minimal scarring, and elegant results.

What Is Cosmetic Foot Surgery?

While many foot surgeries aim to correct painful or debilitating deformities, Dr. Archer approaches these procedures with a dual focus:

• Restore proper foot function and relieve pain

• Improve the foot’s cosmetic appearance and contour

In most cases, so-called ‘ugly feet’ result from correctable medical deformities, such as bunions, hammertoes, or bone abnormalities. Surgical correction not only improves comfort but also creates more attractive, balanced, and healthy-looking feet.

Common Foot Deformities Treated with a Cosmetic Approach

• Bunions (Hallux Valgus)

• Hammertoes and claw toes

• Tailor’s bunion (bunionette)

• Flatfoot or high-arched foot correction

• Syndactyly (webbed toes)—even though it may not affect function, correction is typically covered by insurance

A Personalized Surgical Experience

All surgeries are performed in Dr. Archer’s private, fully accredited surgical suite on the Upper East Side, offering patients a discreet, boutique surgical experience with personalized care from consultation to recovery.

Cosmetic Foot Surgery Is More Than Aesthetics

While many patients seek cosmetic improvement of the feet, Dr. Archer emphasizes that most foot deformities impact alignment, posture, and gait—even if they aren't currently painful. Addressing these issues early can prevent more serious complications in the future while also improving confidence in your foot appearance.
