Nail Surgery is performed by Samantha Hatton Podiatrist at Cheshire Lasers.
What is Nail Surgery?
Nail surgery is a permanent solution to ingrowing toenails and other painful nail conditions. It may also be referred to as partial or total nail avulsion and is carried out under a local anaesthetic.
What Does Nail Surgery Involve?
At Cheshire Lasers, Nail Surgery is carried out by Samantha Hatton. She is a prescribing podiatrist, and she uses Local anaesthetic for the procedure.
During a partial nail avulsion, the troublesome section of the nail is removed and a chemical is applied to the nail bed to prevent it from regrowing. In some cases, it may be necessary to remove the whole nail plate.
The whole procedure takes about an hour. You will need to go home and rest with your feet up for the rest of the day.
How long will it take to recover after Nail Surgery?
The healing period can vary depending on the type of surgery carried out and is generally between 4 -10 weeks.
During this time, the toe/s will need to be bathed daily in salt water and redressed with a dry dressing. Most people do not require extra time off work or school; however, it is advisable to avoid sports or vigorous activity for a few weeks to allow effective healing.
How Successful is Nail Surgery?
This procedure is over 97% successful.
