Wedding after ingrown toenail surgery
Hello. I have ingrown toenails on four toes. Both big toes, and both second toes. I am planning to have surgery on January 4th. I have two questions. 1) Can all four nails be operated on the same day? 2) Can I attend a wedding on January 11th after surgery on all four toenails? Please do let me know. I appreciate any help & guidance.

Yes you can definitely get it removed in a single setting.
But it could be uncomfortable for you considering you have a wedding to attend.

Operating on all four toes at the same time will cause more discomfort and pain compared to a step-wise procedure.
Since you have to attend a marriage, getting all four toes operated on at the same time is not advisable from my side.
Wound healing will be satisfactory, but regrowth of a new nail will take time. Therefore, please choose wisely.
Health Tips
Avoid tight-fitting footwear or shoes.
