Nail Surgery: Permanent Relief for Painful Toenails
At We Fix Feet, we understand how debilitating toenail problems can be. Our professional nail surgery services offer effective solutions to restore your comfort and mobility.
Understanding Nail Surgery
Nail surgery is a minor surgical procedure aimed at resolving persistent toenail issues, such as ingrown toenails, that haven’t responded to conservative treatments. The surgery involves removing part or all of the affected nail to prevent ongoing pain and infection.
If you’ve seen your GP, you might have been prescribed antibiotics. While these can help clear up an infection, they won’t remove the actual culprit: that sharp nail spike digging into your skin. Until the cause is addressed, the pain and infection are likely to return.
Benefits of Nail Surgery
Immediate Pain Relief: Alleviates discomfort caused by problematic ingrown toenails.
Prevents Recurrence: Reduces the likelihood of the issue returning.
Quick Recovery: Most patients resume normal activities shortly after the procedure.
Phenol or K-Laser: Traditional Phenol chemical, or innovative K-Laser can be used to kill the nail to stop it re-growing once removed.
Conditions Treated
Our nail surgery services effectively address:
Ingrown Toenails: Where the nail grows into the surrounding skin, causing pain and potential infection.
Thickened or Deformed Nails: Nails that are difficult to manage and cause discomfort.
Recurring Infections: Persistent infections that do not respond to other treatments.

What to Expect During the Nail Surgery Procedure

Procedure: Depending on your condition, a portion or the entire nail is carefully removed.
Duration: The procedure typically takes about 60 minutes.
Aftercare: We’ll dress the toe and provide instructions to keep the area clean and promote healing.
