  1. INGROWN TOENAIL SURGERY: WHAT TO EXPECT ON THE DAY OF YOUR PROCEDURE

  2. BEFORE YOU ARRIVE: EASY PREPARATIONS In order to make everything go smoothly, we ask our patients to abide by a couple of simple rules prior to their appointment: ● Medication and Alcohol: Keep all of your usual medications as you would normally, unless we have specifically instructed otherwise. It's best to avoid having alcohol at least 24 hours prior to your surgery. ● Nail Varnish: Do make sure all varnish is cleaned from the trouble toe. This enables us to accurately check over the area and prepare it for the procedure. ● Footwear: You will have a dressing over your toes following the operation, and this may be a bit cumbersome. We suggest you bring along suitable open-toe footwear, for example, flip-flops or loose sandals, to change comfortably into at home. ● Eating and Drinking: You may eat and drink as usual before your procedure. ● Driving: For safety reasons, you will not be allowed to drive directly after your procedure as a result of the local anaesthetic. We highly recommend that you make arrangements to get someone else to drive you home or arrange a taxi.

  3. ON THE DAY: YOUR JOURNEY WITH US When you come to Harley Street Nail Specialist Clinic for your ingrown toenail surgery in London, our welcoming staff will welcome you and walk you through the process. ● Paperwork and Consultation There will be a minimal amount of paperwork to fill out, and we'll take your medical history and any medications that you take. It is also a time for you to ask any last-minute questions. We want you to be absolutely comfortable and knowledgeable before we start.

  4. GOING HOME AND WHAT TO EXPECT You can be sent home the same day. When the anaesthetic wears off, typically after a couple of hours, you might feel a bit of discomfort or tenderness. We advise resting with your foot up for the rest of the day to ease swelling. We will give you precise aftercare advice, including how to cope with any pain using over-the-counter relievers and when to re-change your dressing.
