What is Nail Surgery?

Nail surgery is a minor procedure performed under local anaesthetic to permanently remove part (or all) of a toenail that is causing pain, infection, or recurring issues with ingrowing toenails. This quick and highly effective treatment is carried out in a sterile, clinical environment by a HCPC-registered podiatrist, ensuring optimal foot care.

Who is it for?

Patients dealing with recurrent ingrowing toenails often experience issues such as infected, painful, or deformed toenails. This is particularly true in cases where conservative care or nail bracing has not provided relief. Many of these individuals are seeking a long-term solution for their foot care needs.

What to Expect

What to Expect

What to Expect

A full consultation will confirm that surgery for ingrowing toenails is appropriate. The procedure is performed under local anaesthetic, so you’ll be awake but feel no pain. The problematic section of the nail is gently removed to ensure proper foot care. In most cases, a chemical (phenol) is applied to prevent regrowth. After the procedure, the toe is dressed, and you’ll receive full aftercare instructions to aid your recovery. ⏱ The procedure takes around 60 minutes, including preparation and dressing.

Aftercare

What to Expect

What to Expect

You’ll leave with the toe dressed and protected, ensuring proper foot care. Rest is advised for 1–2 days to promote healing. After a few days, you can return to normal footwear, starting with wide or loose shoes. A follow-up redressing appointment is usually scheduled within 1 week. Healing from ingrowing toenails typically takes 4–12 weeks, depending on your health and how well the toe is looked after.

  The procedure is pain-free with local anaesthetic. Some mild soreness may follow, but it’s easily managed with rest and simple pain relief. 

  Yes — but you’ll need to take it easy for the first 24–48 hours. 

  In most cases, the phenol prevents regrowth. If only part of the nail is removed, the remaining nail remains intact and healthy. 

 
Once healing is complete, options like nail reconstruction may be discussed if appropriate.
