The Importance of Follow-Up Care After Nail Surgery for Optimal Healing

At Harley Street Nail Specialist Clinic, we know that having nail surgery in London is a big step in achieving relief from pain and restoring the health of your foot. Although the actual procedure is important, what follows your surgery is of equal, if not greater, importance to making sure you have an easy, uncomplicated recovery and avoid future problems. That is why we take such great care in providing thorough follow-up care.

Why Aftercare is Non-Negotiable?

Consider nail surgery in London as the beginning of your recovery story. The remaining chapters, through careful aftercare, decide the course of your story.

Adherence to proper follow-up is essential for a number of reasons:

● Preventing Infection: The incision area is at risk directly after the procedure. Frequent dressing changes and maintaining the site clean and dry are essential to preventing infection, which can otherwise hinder healing and make you more uncomfortable. We will walk you through each step of this process.

● Tracking Healing Progress: Each patient heals uniquely. Our return visits enable us to keep a close eye on your wound to make sure it's healing as it should. We watch for normal signs of healing, including yellowish discharge or some swelling, and distinguish them from possible problems like more redness, swelling, or ongoing pain.

● Control of Discomfort: Discomfort is to be expected as the anaesthetic disappears, but we give straightforward instructions on how to control pain. Follow-up conversations enable us to check that your comfort levels are properly controlled and any unforeseen or extreme pain is dealt with.

● Management of Complications Early On: Complications such as regrowth of the nail, chronic discharge, or an allergic reaction in unusual instances can arise. Our organised follow-up program ensures quick detection and management of any such complications before they become severe.

● Providing Personalised Advice: As your healing progresses, your needs will change. Our team at Harley Street Nail Specialist Clinic offers tailored advice on when you can safely resume normal activities, including wearing regular shoes, returning to work, and engaging in sports. This personalised guidance is key to a full return to your daily life.
