Because there is no cutting through the skin, or stiches, the procedure preferred at the Ingrown Toenail Centre rarely causes a lot of post operative pain. It is almost like a form of ‘keyhole’ surgery. Most patients will manage their discomfort with simple over the counter pain medication, and elevation and rest. This usually lasts for the first 24 -48 hours at the most, and in our experience it is rare for patients to complain of any significant pain.
