Message: shan,
believe me, surgery will not restore the pink, matrix of your nail bed, nor is there a surgery for that. only time and keeping your nail beds hydrated will help. the pink will grow out again, but it could take years to recover from the damage of nail biting.

Message: Shan, I don't know as there is a surgery for this. It's a matter of time being the healer, like Cheryl said. Eventhough you don't bit anymore, another thing you might watch is how you are cleaning your nails. Don't dig underneath with a file or you'll continue to pry them up just as with nibbling. Use a soft toothbrush instead.
I'm not fond of any sort of remedy that involves patience either! Good luck!

Message: the first two weeks is the worst. if you can get past that, i always found it was so much easier. i guess it's not too different from quitting most habits. you've just got to get up and make yourself do different activities when you start gnawing. i always did it in the same place and the same time it seems.
