Nail Surgery
Nail surgery is primarily performed for ingrowing toenails. It can also be used for severely and permanently damaged nails, fungally infected nails and where trauma has occurred.
Ingrowing toenails can be extremely painful, and whilst they are sometimes the result of poor cutting technique, they can also occur due to injury to the toe, misshaping of the nail, or damage to the bone under the nail.
Nail surgery is a highly effective way to prevent and resolve ingrowing toenails so that you do not have to keep managing them yourself.
By opting to have nail surgery, instead of conservative treatment, you are reducing your long-term risks of recurrent infections and pain. More importantly, you are able to select when you have the procedure and ensure that you are not held hostage by your ingrowing nails.
