Nail surgery is a minor surgical procedure performed under local anaesthetic for the permanent cure of ingrown and problem nails.
It is generally performed when conservative nail care treatments only provide temporary relief or where the nail or nails have become damaged.
You generally have 3-4 appointments.
The first is your initial assessment so we can see the affected nail or nails and assess whether you are suitable for nail surgery.
The second is the day of the surgery.
The third and forth are the follow-up redressing appointments.
With a few exceptions, most people are suitable for nail surgery. The only exceptions are those who have a medical contraindication to the anaesthetic or have poor wound healing.
Children, adults and the elderly regularly undergo nail surgery at our clinic.
