If you want, I can explain cost, aftercare, risks, or help you determine whether it’s right for your situation.

🧴 Aftercare Instructions
Good aftercare helps the reconstructed nail last longer (4–8 weeks).
✔️ Do:
Keep feet clean and dry
Use antifungal spray or cream if recommended
Wear breathable shoes
Trim the reconstructed nail gently as it grows
Moisturize cuticles and skin (not the nail surface)

❌ Avoid: 
Long hot baths for the first 24 hours
Tight shoes that put pressure on the nail
Picking or peeling at the gel
Aggressive filing at home
Cutting too close to the base

⚠️ Risks to Be Aware Of 
Toenail reconstruction is generally safe, but possible risks include: Lifting of the gel nail
Irritation around the nail if you’re allergic to acrylates
Moisture trapped underneath if not applied correctly
The nail may look less natural on very damaged or missing nails
If you have active fungal infection, the gel may not bond well and may need to be redone more often

For people with diabetes or circulation issues, it’s best to have it done by a podiatrist.
