Yes: Many have total removal of nail and replace it with fake nails. Places where pedicures are done do it and some podiatrists do it as well.

Both of my big toe nails have multiple layers of nail. They stopped growing because of an accident on one and an ingrown toenail (2x) on the other. Right big toe nail is short (length) and tall. Left big toe nail is shaped only with one portion raise?

Hello. I had ingrown surgery on my left big toenail about 7 years ago. I've noticed that the outside part of the nail is buckling or curving to the outside. It makes up almost a quarter of the nail. Also some horizontal ridges. What could this mean?
