You can have a tailor's bunion and a regular bunion at the same time. In that situation, we can treat both bunions. The speaker says healing after a tailor's bunion procedure usually takes about two weeks. The procedure described involves shaving down the bone prominence and closing the skin with stitches. Afterward, the speaker says the patient can return to work. If a patient has both a regular bunion and a tailor's bunion, we usually perform the procedures at the same time.
