Nail Growing From Center Of Toe. Undergone Surgery For Ingrown Nail. Suggestions?

Hi,
My daughter (24 years old) had surgery for an ingrown nail about 2 months ago. The nail (if you can call it that) that is now growing from the center of her toe is about 1/3 the width of her original nail. Is this the expected result? Should we expect that this will improve with time. Or was a mistake made in the surgery?

Thank You,
Concerned Father
