Hmmmm be patience: Few weeks. Out should start to regrow within a week but 4 week plus to fully cover the entire nailbed.

Depends...: ...On the procedure. If just the border was taken out and no acid was used to burn the nail root, the nail will most often (about 95% of the time) grow back 1mm/month. If a chemical was used to permanently remove the nail, it should not grow back (very occasionally it does, but this is rare).
