Cosmetic Foot Surgery and Treatments

Dr. Lang is extensively trained in more than 30 advanced surgical procedures, offering patients a breadth of expertise in foot and ankle care. Many of these procedures can be performed using minimally invasive techniques, allowing for smaller incisions, faster recovery, and beautifully refined results. Among his most sought-after cosmetic and restorative treatments are:

Lapiplasty® 3D Bunion Correction

A revolutionary, three-dimensional solution for bunions that corrects the deformity at its true anatomical origin. Unlike traditional bunion surgery, Lapiplasty realigns the metatarsal in all three planes, restoring natural balance, symmetry, and long-term stability. As a designated Lapiplasty® Centurion Center, New Orleans Podiatry provides concierge-level care—from initial evaluation to guided recovery—ensuring an experience that is as advanced as the results.

Aesthetic Tailor’s Bunion Surgery

An aesthetic Tailor’s bunion surgery is designed to gently correct a bony prominence on the outside of the foot near the base of the fifth toe—often referred to as a “bunionette.” While this condition can cause discomfort, many patients also seek correction for cosmetic reasons, especially when the prominence affects shoe fit or overall foot symmetry.

This procedure focuses on refining the foot’s contour through precise bone reshaping and soft-tissue balancing. When appropriate, minimally invasive techniques are used to reduce scarring, preserve natural anatomy, and support a smoother, more streamlined appearance of the forefoot.

The goal is not only improved comfort in shoes, but a foot that looks balanced, natural, and proportionate—without compromising long-term function or stability.

Precision Toe Lengthening & Shortening

For toes that appear out of proportion due to genetics, injury, or prior surgery, Dr. Lang performs meticulous lengthening or shortening procedures to refine shape and restore harmony. These techniques improve both appearance and biomechanics, allowing the foot to function more naturally while looking balanced and elegant in both shoes and barefoot aesthetics.

Leneva® Fat Pad Restoration

A next-generation, adipose-like cushioning matrix filler designed to restore the natural softness and support of thinning or damaged foot fat pads. Leneva helps redistribute pressure, reduce pain, and rejuvenate the overall contour of the forefoot or heel. The result is improved comfort, smoother biomechanics, and a more youthful, supported foundation with every step.

Cosmetic Toe Arthroplasty

A minimally invasive procedure designed to correct painful or cosmetically displeasing toe deformities—such as rigid hammertoes, contracted joints, or toes altered by injury. Dr. Lang reshapes the joint with precision to restore smooth contours, natural alignment, and improved comfort in both shoes and barefoot aesthetics.

Overlapping or Crooked Toe Correction

Overlapping or crooked toes can affect both the appearance of the foot and everyday comfort. This condition may be present from birth or develop over time due to genetics, footwear, tendon imbalance, or prior injury.

Correction focuses on restoring natural toe alignment while preserving function. Depending on the severity, treatment may include minimally invasive soft-tissue release, tendon balancing, or subtle bone realignment. When appropriate, techniques are chosen to minimize scarring and downtime while achieving a more natural, streamlined appearance.

Our goal is to create toes that look balanced, sit comfortably in shoes, and move naturally—without sacrificing long-term foot health.

KeryFlex® Nail Restoration

For patients seeking a non-surgical solution to damaged or cosmetically compromised nails, KeryFlex provides an elegant, medical-grade restoration. This flexible, resin-based nail overlays the natural nail to create a clear, beautiful appearance that looks and feels natural—ideal for nails affected by trauma, discoloration, or previous procedures.
