    Treat any underlying nail conditions

    Nail Surgery

    Many underlying nail conditions can be treated with care and medications, though in some cases, surgery may be required to fully correct the issue. Nail surgery in London is usually used to remove all or part of the nail. After surgery, a chemical may be applied to prevent regrowth and destroy the nail cells if needed. Surgeries on the nail may be performed for a number of reasons, including correcting ingrown nails or nail biopsies, in which tumours or lesions may be further examined and analysed.

    What does the treatment do?

    As an experienced consultant dermatologist, Dr Hiba Injibar, our founder here at Dermasurge, is able to accurately diagnose and treat skin, hair, and nail conditions in-house here at our Harley Street clinic, including nail surgeries where required. Prior to any surgery, patients will undergo a consultation with Dr Injibar, allowing her to assess the nails and diagnose any conditions that may be present and treat accordingly, including with a nail biopsy if required.

    Dr Hiba Injibar can perform partial or total nail avulsion in cases of ingrown nails or for biopsy in cases of nail tumours or other diseases. The procedure is done in the clinic under local anaesthesia.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Will nail surgery hurt?

    Nail surgery is, in most circumstances, performed under local anaesthetic, and patients should not feel any pain during the procedure.

    What is the downtime for nail surgery?

    Most patients will be able to leave the clinic shortly after surgery and will be able to walk on the same day. Patients should expect the nail to take around 8 weeks to heal, though if care is taken and Dr Injibar’s aftercare advice is followed, many can return to their normal routines the day after surgery. Patients undergoing surgery on the toenails should wear suitable footwear that can easily fit over bulky dressings, and ensure they do not drive or take public transport when leaving the clinic to avoid injury. Strenuous exercise should be avoided until the nail bed is fully healed.

    Are there any side effects from nail surgery?

    Most side effects of nail surgery are related to the anaesthetic used and may include dizziness or drowsiness. As a result of the procedure itself, patients usually experience bleeding, swelling and tenderness at the site, though this subsides as the nail heals. Some patients may experience discharge, which is normal in most cases and does not always indicate infection. If you suspect an infection, please seek medical advice without delay. Painkillers may be used when required to manage pain. Scarring may be unavoidable in some cases. Pregnant women should not undergo nail surgery, as the chemicals may cause harm to an unborn child.

    Dr. Hiba removed a dermal piercing for me and the experience was exceptional from start to finish. She was compassionate, kind, caring, and completely honest throughout the entire process. Her professionalism and attention to detail gave me full confidence in her care.

    Her team was also outstanding and every staff member I interacted with was warm, supportive, and knowledgeable. The receptionist in particular went out of her way to help me and made the whole experience smooth and stress-free.

    Highly recommend Dr. Hiba and her team for anyone looking for expert, considerate care.

    We have used Dermasurge for our two children and the level of service from all staff goes above and beyond. They are polite, personable and knowledgeable. The speed of service is also very good. We have used other dermatologists before and can note that the Dermasurge team are far better.

    I had several seborrheic keratosis removed and one unusual skin growth excised and biopsied. The procedure was quick, painless and healed well. Dr Hiba and her staff were all friendly and kind and followed up quickly on my questions. I would use this dermatologist again.

    I’ve been attending Dermasurge for the past 4 months for laser and Botox treatments. The staff are all very professional, knowledgeable, and helpful. An excellent TEAM!
    Dr. Hiba is amazing, very professional and approachable. During my initial consultation Dr. Hiba provided clear advice and direction, regarding the treatment I was seeking. I felt supported and listened to. A treatment plan was drawn up and each treatment explained in detail.
    My laser treatments were done by Manuela, who has been incredible. A top therapist, professional and so friendly. Thank you Manuela for the high standard of care you gave me!
    I highly recommend Dr.Hiba and her team.

    Everyone at this clinic is really nice and what I like most about Dr Hiba is that she did not try to sell me something, instead she listened to my concerns and recommended a treatment that had my best interests at heart. And i am very pleased with the results.

    I had acne in my twenties. Dr. Hiba did a great consultation and prescribed medication that successfully healed my acne. I feel so much more confident in my skin today and am super grateful for the treatment I received. Also, the whole team at Dermasurge is super lovely. Thank you, Dermasurge!

    My teenage daughter attended having suffered with bouts of regular breakouts which caused her significant concern and distress. Dr Hiba took the time to explain what was causing the problem and gave very pragmatic and honest advice about the treatment pathway. Less than a week later the results are already evident and my daughter; who only last week felt very low about her skin now has hope that she doesn’t need to suffer any longer.

    Ridwana was also incredibly kind and understanding. She shared her own experiences with my daughter making her feel much more at easy.

    The entire clinic has a calming yet professional atmosphere which is exactly how the clinical experience also felt.
