If you’re dealing with the discomfort of an ingrown toenail, you might be considering surgical options to finally find a definitive solution for relief. If you’re not able to manage the ingrown toenail with conservative treatment or home remedies, this may be the long-term solution for you. Understanding the costs involved can help you prepare both financially and mentally for what lies ahead. Ingrown toenail surgery (also known as Partial Nail Avulsion) is a relatively minor nail procedure performed under local anaesthetic and involves removing a small portion of the nail to permanently stop it from growing into the skin again.
So, how much does ingrown toenail surgery cost?
Ingrown toenail surgery at Lidcombe Podiatry costs $400 for one side of a single toe. Additional side on the same toe is treated at $50 each, while surgery on additional toes costs $100. Commonly we perform nail surgery on one toe, both sides, which costs $450 or 2 toes, single side only, which costs $500.
Post-operative care is imperative to ensure healing. This includes redressing and reviews at $70 per consultation. During the initial two weeks, you’ll need 3–4 redressing spaced a few days apart. This ensures cleanliness and optimal healing conditions – the podiatrist will check, clean and redress with appropriate dressings.
