Cutting Open Webbed Toes

I have actually had surgery for two webbed toes on each foot, 2nd ad 3rd ones. They were joined up to just under the nail on my left and a little below that on my right. It's a very simple surgery and yes, plastic surgeons or a plastic surgeon who works on hands (micro surgery) is often better qualified. They are specialized in dealing with the tiny vessels and nerves. It's a surgery which last a couple hours and I hear some podiatric surgeons use balloons etc but my doc just took skin from my groin area and grafted it for my left foot since it was webbed higher. Although there is no actual webbing per say since you couldn't actually pull the toes apart and see a web like a frog or duck would have. I was so ashamed of this growing up that I never told a soul and the ones who found out by pulling my socks off at slumber parties and finding out by surprise often had some pretty harsh reactions to it. None of which I was cool with. Plus I've always been considered an attractive person so it was always a shock to people i dated who found out. I hated it although some people were seemingly ok with it but still I couldn't stand it. I had been to numerous doctors all of which said it wasn't worht it and the scarring would be ten times worse. NOT I have very faint scarring if any at all and only between my toes. It's so worth it if you felt embarrassed and ashamed like I did. However, my right two toes weren't joined as high and there was more skin to work with so she didn't graft that side so as a result she couldn't cut as far down but it's really not noticeable and I kind of like having partially webbed toes on that foot. I can live with that lol. I just didn't like them being so different on each foot and webbed so high on the left. My little sister actually cut hers herself and because there isn't anything but soft tissue between them they healed perfectly fine. She just took Keflex antibiotics in case of infection and wrapped her toes individually with breathable guaze and cleaned them daily. She just iced her toes numb and cut straight down to where she felt comfortable. The ice constricted the bleeding and she just elevated them above her heart. It's kind of like tongue splitting in the bodymod world. Required no stitches and was very clean and easy to do. I watched her do this and quite to my surprise they look great! Of course no doctor in their right mind would ever condone bodymods let alone webbed toe cutting but yes it can be done. She used a scalpel on one foot and an electric carving knife on the other but she first took one of the two blades off for a single cut. If you attempt this be sure you try a smaller cut first and once that heals and you can always go down further in the future. She didn't go all the way down but she did go down most of the way but you can still tell her toes are slightly joined but certainly not like before and there isn't any scarring at all. It heals quite fast too. I often wish I had gone this route and saved myself alot of money and grief going from doctor to doctor (ten total) before finding one who would do this. Plus, it's not like it's an amputation in which there are bone and major vessel issues to worry about. And she has less scaring then me!! Not fair lol! If you have any questions regarding this pm me.
