At Foot Medic™ Cardiff our team of podiatrists are qualified to provide nail surgery under local anaesthetic for the permanent cure of ingrown and problem nails.
Service Details
Nail surgery is a minor surgical procedure performed under local anesthetic for the permanent cure of ingrown and problem nails.
It is generally performed when conservative nail care treatments only provide temporary relief or where the nail or nails have become damaged.








WHAT TO EXPECT AT

Your practitioner will take a full medical, medication & lifestyle history if you have never visited the clinic before, or review it if you have. All your information is taken in a private room and stored on our secure database for your privacy & security.

On the day of the surgery we will review your medical history and assess the blood flow in your feet using a doppler. This is a painless procedure and when you and our podiatrist are both happy we administer a local anesthetic to numb the toe or toes

Once the toe or toes are numb and you are happy to proceed our podiatrist will perform the surgery in a relaxed professional manner using sterile instruments in an aseptic environment. The procedure often takes less than 10 mins per toe and you leave with aftercare advise and a follow-up appointment

You generally have 3-4 appointments. The first is your initial assessment so we can see the affected nail or nails and assess whether you are suitable for nail surgery. The second is the day of the surgery. The third and forth are the follow-up redressing appointments
With a few exceptions, most people are suitable for nail surgery. The only exceptions are those who have a medical contraindication to the anesthetic or have poor wound healing. Children, adults and the elderly regularly undergo nail surgery at our clinic.
