Is There Any Surgery To Repair Nail Bed?

my nails break easily, often when i am unlocking a door or like just a couple of days before, i was pressing on the tooth paste tube, my hands were wet, my thumb slipped off slightly and i ended up pressing my nail against the nail bed, now it has separated from then nail bed, and it has ruined the shape of my nail. are there any corrective surgeries to get your nail beds repaired, but without the use of permanent artificial nail beds?

Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hello
Thanks for the query.
Usually a partially damaged nail falls off and a new nail grows up from the nail bed.
Just wait for a month and see.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thanks
