Ingrown Toenail Treatment & Recurrence Specialist | Gangnam Station Orthopedic Clinic

Gangnam Standard Orthopedic Clinic

Thought surgery would solve it once and for all — but the ingrown toenail came back.

After three ingrown toenail surgeries that left the nail noticeably thickened, this patient visited Gangnam Standard Orthopedic Clinic when the condition recurred.

The ingrown toenail procedure is performed under local anesthesia, not general (IV sedation) anesthesia — so if you are anxious about anesthesia, there is no need to worry.

The big toe gradually becomes numb as the local anesthetic takes effect.

This patient was so distressed by the recurring ingrown toenail that they actually drew on their toe with a pen to mark the area they wanted removed before coming in.

It really speaks to how much pain and stress an ingrown toenail can cause.

We understand how difficult it must have been to live with that level of discomfort.

After your consultation, rather than removing a large area — including the parts you marked — we focus only on the precise portion causing the pain and recurrence, while preserving the natural shape of the toenail as much as possible.

Removing only what is necessary to address the cause of pain and recurrence is sufficient to prevent the ingrown toenail from coming back.

The patient's fourth procedure following recurrence.

The ingrown toenail was treated by removing only the problematic portion while maintaining the overall nail shape.

The procedure is performed under local anesthesia with minimal bleeding, making it a relatively straightforward process as shown in the photos.

Many patients who have struggled with recurrent ingrown toenails have told us they felt a great sense of relief after their procedure at Gangnam Standard Orthopedic Clinic.

All consultations and procedures are personally performed by Dr. Jo Juwon, the clinic's lead physician, with thorough attention to detail.

Ingrown toenail treatment is classified as a medical condition — not a cosmetic procedure — so standard health insurance (in addition to supplemental/loss insurance) may apply.

Because ingrown toenail removal is recognized as a medical condition and performed as a covered surgical procedure, national health insurance coverage may be available, making treatment cost-effective as well as effective for preventing recurrence.
