Frequently asked

Nail Surgery, answered.

The anaesthetic injection has a brief sting; the procedure itself is painless. Mild ache is expected for a day or two afterwards.
In most ingrown-toenail surgeries, only the offending edge is removed, the rest of the nail regrows normally. We will explain the cosmetic outcome before scheduling.
Most nail-edge surgeries do not need stitches. Larger procedures may need one or two sutures, removed at the follow-up visit.
