Tenderness and Sensitivity
What Should I Know About the Procedure?
Like any minor surgery, you’ll be sure to notice it after your appointment. Generally, the most common sensations following ingrown toenail surgery is a little pain and discomfort for a day or two, but a Tylenol is usually enough to keep it from bothering you. You will be given a 24 hour direct phone line for any concerns. This is true for at least 95% of patients undergoing this procedure. We cant make guarantees and every person is different.
