The ingrowth of a nail or group of nails into the skin causes discomfort and pain, and often leads to exostosis (when the bone shifts and protrudes laterally). It is a very common condition and can hinder movement. It occurs more frequently in adolescents and young adults, although all age groups may be affected.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Plastic Surgeon Georgia Horti has extensive experience in onychoplasty, applying a specialized technique. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia at the clinic.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
