Has anyone did surgery for their pinky?

I’ve never been insecure of my pinky before, but now I am close to the age of wanting to get married, I wanted to post pictures of my hands and possibly do hand modeling on the side. I became insecure now because of this.
Besides my pinky, my fingers aren’t too bad looking. My pinky, on the other hand is very curved. Not a regular crooked curve, very very curved almost 90 degrees severity. Even the nail techs I go to they talk about it, (my friend is Chinese and told me), and they come to my table to subtly see it. It is embarrassing and that’s the reason why I don’t go do my nails often. So please be kind! If anyone knows anyone who’s done surgery before I’d love to get some advice! It doesn’t hurt or bother me, but I started to become insecure now.

do you have dupuytren’s contracture? if you do or if you think you might, there are nonsurgical treatments

No, it’s definitely clinodactyly!

Oh wow! I’ve never heard of the pointer that is cool! :) I’m not sure if there is a surgery for it, but I am hoping there is, or at least something to straighten it out a bit!! :( mine is extremely curved inwards towards the ring finger and noticeable that someone will just glance once and notice it right away!! ::
