What Sets Our Nail Surgery for Ingrown Nails Apart
Partial vs Total Avulsion Based on Severity:
Mild cases are managed with partial nail avulsion that preserves most of the nail, while recurrent or severe cases may need a more complete procedure, decided on your specific presentation.
Matricectomy Option to Prevent Recurrence: For nails that keep growing in, we can chemically or surgically treat the nail matrix at the affected edge to stop that portion from regrowing.
Specific Protocol for Recurrent Cases: Patients who have had repeated ingrown nail episodes are evaluated for underlying causes, such as nail trimming technique or footwear, alongside the surgical fix.
Clear Aftercare to Prevent Regrowth Issues: Detailed wound care and nail-trimming guidance is provided post-procedure specifically to reduce the chance of the same nail becoming ingrown again.
