Nail Surgery

Nail Surgery is a minor yet highly effective procedure performed to treat painful, infected, or deformed nails. Most commonly used for stubborn ingrown toenails, thickened nails, or recurrent nail-bed problems, this quick treatment relieves discomfort, improves appearance, and prevents further complications — all with minimal downtime.

About Nail Surgery

Under the expert care of Dr. Nidhi Patel’s Cosmedics, nail procedures are carried out as quick outpatient treatments in a sterile, comfortable environment. Every patient is assessed individually to identify the exact cause of their nail problem — be it an ingrown edge, trauma-related deformity, or a fungal-damaged nail. Based on this evaluation, our specialists may perform partial nail avulsion (removing only the affected edge), total nail removal, or a matrixectomy (removing part of the nail root to prevent regrowth). Local anaesthesia keeps you pain-free, and advanced technique ensures minimal scarring and a faster recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions About Nail Surgery

Is nail surgery painful?

No. Local anaesthesia makes the procedure painless. Mild soreness afterward is easily managed with simple pain relief.

How long does it take to heal?

Initial healing occurs within 1–2 weeks. Complete regrowth or full cosmetic appearance may take a few months depending on the procedure performed.

Can the nail grow back?

If only part of the nail was removed, the healthy portion grows normally. If the root (matrix) was treated, that part will not regrow, preventing recurrence.

Do I need to stay off my feet?

You can usually walk immediately after the procedure. Our team will advise you to wear open or loose footwear for a few days.

Is it safe for diabetics?

Yes, but it requires careful evaluation and post-procedure care to ensure proper healing. Special precautions are taken at Dr. Nidhi Patel’s Cosmedics for patients with diabetes.
