Better patient of mine, digitally enhanced? (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

manicured

'digitally enhanced?' is the definition.
(a manicure treats one's fingers or 'digits')

'better patient of mine' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'better' could be 'cured' (after being sick) and 'cured' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'mani' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

(Other definitions for manicured that I've seen before include "given quick treatment?" , "Digitally processed" , "well-groomed" , "digitally enhanced?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
