Does being obese affect ingrown toenail surgery recovery?

Should be okay: Obesity can shorten your life, cause decrease in function etc. For an ingrow toe recovery at a young age it should be okay.

Possible: Would depend on othe issues too, not just weight.

Obesity ; toenail: Well, all things being equal, surgery in obese patients generally results in a higher risk of problems than non-obese patients. The excess weight that your toe is subjected to may affect recover. Also, if you have diabetes (as a result of the obesity), that will impair healing as well. Losing weight can only help.

May put more: Pressure on the toe delaying healing , and if you have other medical problems like diabetes and peripheral vascular disease, they will delay healing.
