Depends on type of surgery done, person's potential to heal, condition that warranted the nail to be removed, etc.. typically 7-14 days for full recovery.

Toenail removal is a relatively simple procedure. Depending on what is done, recovery can take from a few days to a few weeks. I recommend you discuss with a foot and ankle surgeon (podiatrist)

4 weeks and 2 months for the nail to start growing half size

Weeks.

If it is just a removal and going to grow back will be fine in 2 weeks, nail takes 4-6 months to grow back so be aware of that. If it is a permanent removal then will look at 4 weeks to recover. During the recovery you are allowed to do all normal activities except swimming in lakes and oceans is not recommended following the procedure for a week or 2.

If it’s just removal of the nail, regular activity can be resumed in a few days. The nail will take 6-9 months to fully regrow

  • Las Vegas, NV

It depends on what type of nail removal you have-temporary (where the nail is allowed to regrow), or permanent. It takes 2-3 weeks for a permanent nail removal to heal. It takes 9 months for a new nail to regrow after a temporary nail removal, but the actual wound from surgery is healed within 2 weeks, or so

Most patients will heal in about one week after the toenail removal unless you have complications such as infections. Also diabetes and poor circulation can slow down the healing process.
