Ingrown Toenails

Let us treat your Ingrown Toenail!

Ingrown Toenail surgery is a quick and simple procedure conducted in the clinic, under a local anaesthetic to the toe. The offending ingrown portion of the toenail is removed from the root and a chemical is used to burn the root so that part of the nail doesn’t grow back.

Why would I need to have toenail surgery?

Some ingrown toenails can be recurrent, even with professional treatment. When a toenail continues to cause ongoing problems for the person, a simple surgical procedure is required to cut away the part of the nail permanently.

Toenail Surgery procedure

Your Podiatrist will administer a local anaesthetic injection into the relevant toe/s being operated on. Once the toe is completely numb, a tourniquet is placed onto the toe to reduce local blood flow. Using specialised instruments, the offending nail edge is removed from the nail bed and cut down to be removed from the base of the nail. A caustic chemical, known as Phenol is the applied to prevent future nail re-growth. The tourniquet is then removed, and the toe dressed to prevent infection.

Post Toenail Surgery

Open toe shoes (ie./ thongs) are recommended after the procedure as the dressing can be quite thick, and restrict the ability to put a closed toe shoe on for the first couple of days post-procedure. A redressing/review appointment is usually set within a week after the surgery has been performed.

We will also develop a comprehensive treatment plan that will enable you to achieve your goal as soon as possible during this consultation.

There is no requirement to supply a referral from your doctor to see a Podiatrist.

We pride ourselves on offering the highest quality podiatry care, and as a result, we are unable to offer bulk billing on the Chronic disease management plan (formally EPC). Our consultation fees apply to all visits, and a Medicare rebate can be issued to you on the spot with a valid EPC referral. There is a small out of pocket expense on all appointments.

The frequency and number of visitations will depend on the nature of the condition you are being treated for. The treatment and rehabilitation of conditions will vary widely however after an initial consultation your podiatrist will be able to provide a recovery framework for you.

We appreciate 24 hours notice for cancellations when possible. However we know the unexpected can often happen, so a courtesy phone call if you are going to miss an appointment is always appreciated.

An appointment which is cancelled or rescheduled with less than 24 hours notice, may incur a fee of 50% of the consult rate.

If you miss an appointment, without giving notice, then the full rate of the appointment may be charged.
