So are mine. I have bunions and curved toes on both feet. And you know what the Orthopedic surgeon I live with who makes his living primarily correcting foot and ankle deformities tells me and his patients who ask if they should have surgery?
He advises them that having ugly feet is not a good enough reason to have surgery.
Actually it is, thats why the surgery exists in the first place and thats why people choose to do it. My ugly feet is why I cant do many activities I want to do like volleyball, swimming, brazilian jui jitsu anf just being able to freely walk in the house barefoot.

I don't think surgery is going to make any difference, you can either do those things or not. My husband has some funky hammer toes and other problems with his feet, he's slowed down a bit at 73, but when younger he gained some notoriety as a climber, he served with the USMC in Vietnam and currently is a black belt in Aikido.

Do you avoid those activities merely because your feet are ugly, or do you have actual pain and discomfort? If it's the latter, then that's a different story altogether, and a good reason to have surgery.
As you point out, there are no shortage of people who want surgical correction for solely cosmetic purposes, and there are no shortage of surgeons (or podiatrists especially), who are willing to do it. Many people are pleased with the outcomes. Just be aware that the failure and complication rates are fairly high, as is the possible need for revision.
I am facing a hip replacement surgery in about a week and a half..... the 5th or 6th surgery I have had on my legs over the years, not counting the three I underwent for the MRSA infection in my right hip..... and I can not even imagine wanting to put myself through something as painful as a foot surgery for purely cosmetic reasons.....

You don't even know what the surgery is called but you know "why the surgery exists in the first place"???
Good to know....
You are wrong of course but way to go all in on the misconception
If you have painful hammertoes that don't allow you to wear shoes then by all means consider corrective surgery but for cosmesis?
If you aren't willing to do the activities you "like" because of how your feet "look" I'm sure you will find another reason not to do them after surgery as well...

If your "ugly feet" are not causing you actual physical discomfort or impairing your movement, the problem is not your feet but five or six feet north of them.
To make all of my toes evenly spread out? And also change the physical structure so they look as perfect as toes can possibly be like the shape of them so none of them are curled, etc.....
I ruptured the joint in my 4th toe. It just sort of flopped in the wrong direction. The doctor put a pin in it and removed skin, think a Frankenstein cut just above the joint closest to the toenail. It corrected to issue. It wasn't pleasant especially considering I had a pin coming out of my toe for several weeks. It's not something I would do for fun. Your best bet is to talk to a podiatrist and see what he/she recommends.
I am having a hard time believing this is a for real post.....
