Surgery for Ingrown & Fungal Nails
We offer nail surgery at Quest Podiatry. It is a routine procedure during which we remove part or all of the problem toenail. Nail surgery offers a permanent solution to a range of issues, including painful, recurrent ingrowing toenails and fungal nail infections.
Nail Surgery at our Clinic
It is a quick, simple procedure which is carried out under local anaesthetic here at our clinic. Most people can then return to their normal daily routine the day after, although we advise that sport or strenuous activities should be avoided for a fortnight.

Frequently asked questions
The procedure is performed under local anaesthetic at our Guildford clinic, ensuring you feel no pain during the surgery itself. You may experience mild soreness afterwards, which is easily managed with over-the-counter relief.
Our expert podiatrists gently remove the offending piece of nail, or sometimes the whole nail, and then apply a specialised chemical to the nail bed to prevent the painful section from growing back.
Most patients are back on their feet immediately, though full healing of the tissue typically takes between four to eight weeks depending on your personalised aftercare programme.
Many patients return to work or school the very next day. However, we recommend avoiding strenuous activities and tight footwear for a short period to support the healing process.
