OMG, I need nail surgery!
You may be one of the unlucky minority who, whether by reason of heredity, trauma, or self imposed injury, requires nail surgery. You can relax, though. It’s not nearly as bad as you’re anticipating. Watching these procedures on exploitative internet sites will only make you more anxious. Here’s a short video of one of our office procedures: the permanent removal of one side of a chronically ingrown nail. It’s one of the most common procedures we perform and takes just a few minutes.
As you’ve seen, it’s a procedure that is relatively quick and doesn’t require the courage of Ulysses. Almost every patient, regardless of age, leaves the office with a smile and states that it wasn’t nearly as difficult as they had anticipated. If you suffer from painful ingrown nails, comfort is just a few minutes away.
