Treatment How do we perform ingrown toenail surgery?
After administering local anaesthetic your podiatrist will gently lift the edge of the nail freeing it from the surrounding tissue.
Using specialty clippers, we trim the offending edge of the nail.
The offending nail edge and nail matrix will be removed.
After the nail is removed, the nail matrix is chemically cauterised to kill the cells of the nail matrix. This will prevent the nail from regrowing.
What to expect
