Christopher Hodgkins, Orthopedic Surgeon at Miami Orthopedics and Sports Medicine Institute, explains all bunion surgery is outpatient surgery, so you come into the hospital and go home the same day. It will take one hour or two to complete and most of the time you will have general anesthesia.

He also says every bunion is different which is why there are a hundred different options and techniques to cut the bone, reshape it and redirect it.
