Good news about physio.

The scar should look good in a few months time. Keep it moving, gentle massage to prevent adhesions to the tissues below and it will be fine.

That looks amazingly good for a very new scar. Keep up with the exercises and massage and I reckon you'll be ready to boogie.

I think your scar looks very good for so new. Just do as the physio suggests and I wish you all the very best for a knee that will take you everywhere.

Looks very neat to me. Very little bruising I can see. Give it a couple more weeks or so & you'll be able to massage Vitamin E cream or Bio Oil on it. Just be sure it's properly healed & infection free before you do though.

Looks good, a lot like mine did after my hip revision. The scar should fade if you gently moisturise it and it should help to reduce scar tissue and improve movement. Try not to use anything that stings though! x

It looks nice & healthy...in a few months it will have faded considerably...& you will be so much more comfortable. Keep up the physio..it really is essential to get the full benefit of the surgery!

It will soon fade. Mine are almost invisible now.

Looking good not much bruising, as others said massage with cream to keep it soft. One thing I've noticed,I have had both knees replaced,when my legs get a suntan I have 2 lovely white lines down my legs 😀
