INGROWN TOENAIL SURGERY

What is Ingrown Toenail Surgery?

Ingrown toenail surgery is a minor, highly effective procedure to treat toenails that grow into the surrounding skin, causing pain, redness, swelling, or even infection. This condition can make walking, exercising, or wearing shoes uncomfortable. Our skilled podiatrists use advanced techniques to safely remove the problematic portion of the nail and prevent it from regrowing, offering lasting relief and improved quality of life.

INGROWN TOENAIL SURGERY

How Does the Procedure Work?

The procedure is performed under local anaesthetic to keep the area comfortable throughout treatment. Once the toe is numb, the ingrown section of nail is carefully removed, and a solution may be applied to help reduce the chance of that edge growing back. The toe is then cleaned and dressed, and you will be given clear aftercare instructions along with follow-up advice to help support healing.

INGROWN TOENAIL SURGERY

The Process

01

Comprehensive Assessment

During your consultation, your podiatrist will carefully examine the affected toe to evaluate the extent of the ingrown nail and identify any signs of infection. They’ll explain the procedure in detail and discuss whether a partial or total nail removal is required.
02

Preparation

To ensure your comfort, a local anesthetic is administered to numb the affected area. The toe is then thoroughly cleansed and prepped, creating a sterile environment for the procedure.
03

Nail Removal

The problematic section of the nail (Partial Nail Avulsion) is carefully removed. In rare cases, the entire nail (Total Nail Avulsion) may need to be removed to resolve more severe issues.
04

Post-Procedure Care

Once the procedure is complete, your toe is dressed with a sterile bandage to protect it as it heals. Your podiatrist will provide clear aftercare instructions, including how to clean and care for the toe at home. A follow-up appointment will be scheduled to monitor your progress and ensure the area is healing well.

QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the procedure painful?

No. The toe is fully numbed with local anaesthetic before the procedure begins, so you should not feel pain during treatment.

Will the nail grow back?

If a chemical is applied during the procedure, it helps prevent the treated edge of the nail from growing back. Your podiatrist will explain the approach recommended for your situation.

How long does recovery take?

Recovery time can vary, but most patients heal well with simple aftercare within a few weeks.

Can I walk after surgery?

Yes. Most patients can walk after the procedure, although you may need to reduce activity for a short period while the toe begins to heal.

When is surgery recommended?

Surgery is usually recommended when an ingrown toenail is recurring, infected, or not improving with conservative treatment.
