Bunion surgery, or bunionectomy, can cost anywhere from ‚Çπ40,000 to ‚Çπ1,50,000 in India, depending on factors like the surgeon's expertise and the hospital. Recovery typically involves avoiding full weight-bearing for 2-4 weeks, with gradual weight-bearing activities introduced as healing progresses. Flat feet could potentially prolong the recovery time, so it's important to discuss this with your surgeon
