If you search for an ingrown toenail clinic or ingrown toenail orthopedic clinic on Naver Maps, you can easily find directions to Gangnam Standard Orthopedic Clinic.

At our clinic near Gangnam Station, ingrown toenail surgery is performed under local anesthesia of the affected toe. Same-day surgery is available with a prior appointment, and the procedure takes approximately 15 minutes after anesthesia.

Because the cause is a toenail that has curved and grown into the surrounding skin of the big toe, the affected portion must be precisely removed to prevent recurrence of the ingrown toenail.

Through ingrown toenail surgery, patients can find relief from an ingrown nail along with the associated pus and inflammation.

Some female patients worry that removing part of the toenail will make it look too small cosmetically. Please don't be concerned.

Because only the portion that was embedded in the skin is removed, the nail does not become noticeably smaller. In fact, the previously curved shape often improves in appearance.
