My LTHR surgery was 5/2015 it is still dented in. They didn’t distribute the fat correctly. They didn’t think it was a big deal, I do. I didn’t come in there with a dent.
And now Ill be having my right one done in the Spring.:sad:
I have dents on both sides.
 
Just so yu know what a 12 year old hip scar looks like -- this is the left hip - right one looks much the same :)

This is the scar at 14 days. No staples or exterior stitches. Just a waterproof bandage that was removed at my post-op appointment. It is an anterior, left hip replacement. At this point there is not much swelling or bruising but it was pretty swollen at 7 days. Hippies scars - post your badges of honor here: NO CHIT-CHAT HERE PLEASE
 
Right leg, anterior, bikini incision. My toes are down there for reference, lol. This was at 3 weeks when they took off dressing.

5 weeks postop left, 2 weeks postop right. Looking at all of your straight even scars makes me feel like my surgeon was a bit of a butcher! :heehee:

Day 8 out from right THR... the outer dressing came off yesterday and this still has the small transparent tape over the glued incision.

5 weeks post-op. Incision about 4.5 inches, looks longer because of acute camera angle.
