If conservative methods to resolve your ingrowing toenail have failed, you may be suitable for a partial or total nail avulsion. The surgery is performed under local anaesthetic and a portion of, or the entire, nail is removed and treated chemically to prevent regrowth. The pros and cons of each option will be discussed with you at your initial assessment. ​ The price* includes the surgery, as much communication pre- and post-surgery by text or email as you like, and dressings for two weeks post-surgery. ​ Please note: two follow-up dressing appointments (24-48 hrs after the procedure, and 2 weeks post-procedure) must be arranged in advance. Each redressing appointment is £25. Further home-use dressings are NOT included in this fee. Additional home dressing packs can be purchased separately, or the components can be found on my website; www.oxfordshirechiropody.co.uk/products ​ You can read more about Nail Surgery on my blog; https://www.oxfordshirechiropody.co.uk/post/tell-me-about-nail-surgery ​ It is strongly recommended you purchase a Limbo waterproof protector in order to keep your dressings dry when showering or bathing. ​
