If you’ve ever experienced the sharp sting of an ingrown toenail or the persistent discomfort of a damaged nail, you’ll know how something so small can have a big impact on your daily life. At Five Little Piggies Podiatry, we understand that nail pain isn’t just inconvenient—it can affect your mobility, confidence, and overall wellbeing. That’s why we offer expert nail surgery services designed to bring lasting relief in a safe, caring environment.

What Is Nail Surgery?

Nail surgery is a minor procedure, permanently removing all or part of a nail. It’s carried out under local anaesthetic and is perfect for treating persistent nail problems—most commonly ingrown toenails. It’s quick, effective, and often life-changing for patients who’ve struggled with recurring infections, inflammation, or nail trauma. Our podiatrists are highly trained in nail surgery techniques and will guide you through every step, from initial consultation to aftercare.

Who Can Benefit?

You might be a candidate for nail surgery if:

  • You’ve had multiple episodes of ingrown toenails

  • Your nail is thickened, misshapen and causing pain

  • Conservative treatments haven’t worked

  • You’re experiencing infection, redness, or swelling around the nail

We know that the idea of surgery can feel daunting, but rest assured—our team prioritises comfort, clarity, and kindness. We’ll take time to explain your options, answer questions, and make sure you feel confident in your decision.

Why Choose Five Little Piggies?

At our clinic, nail surgery isn’t just a procedure—it’s part of a holistic approach to foot health. We combine clinical expertise with a warm, personal touch that puts patients at ease. Our treatment rooms are calm and welcoming, and our podiatrists are known for their gentle manner and clear communication.

We also offer:

  • Thorough pre-surgery assessments

  • Tailored aftercare plans

  • Advice on footwear and nail care to prevent future issues

Whether you’re a busy parent, an active retiree, or someone who’s simply tired of toe pain, we’re here to help you walk comfortably again.

What to Expect

The procedure typically takes around 30–45 minutes and is performed in-clinic. You’ll be able to walk out the same day, and most patients return to normal activities within a few days. We’ll provide all the guidance you need for healing, including dressing changes and follow-up support.
