What will the toenail look like after surgery?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Depends: It depends on how much of the nail is removed or if the total nail is removed. Usually the nail will look narrower.

Depends: On what type of surgery is performed. If a border is removed it will be narrower. If entire nail is removed, underlying nail bed will eventually callus up.
