This was taken the day after surgery (Feb. 8th/17). I can't believe how clean the incision is....amazing!)

Two weeks post op TLHR mini posterior. Scar about 5". Dissolvable stitches. Finally removed dressing yesterday and carefully took steri strips off in shower!! Pretty pleased as looks quite neat although a bit hard and bumpy.

4 week out... very small incision

 

[momjfb]

Right THR Anterior approach 4/12/17. Lines and marks are still surgeon's purple marker.

Posted earlier after five days. The latest is after five months. The little line is blending in and hopefully will be nearly invisible soon.

RTHR, 4/26/17 7 days out. Wound vac and original bandage just removed.

 

[Lancs Lass]

Just nearly 8 weeks post ok. A huge scar, probably because I'm obese.

When researching the SuperPath technique, I could not find a good picture or diagram that showed the incision location. This is only Day 4 so the 4 inch incision is still covered up but you can see where it is (if interested).

Scar 16 days post surgery. Staples just removed today.

4inch Superpath incision at 7 days

Here's the incision on the day after my surgery.

Here it is now, about 3 weeks post op. Healing pretty good, although it's going to leave a pretty good size scar from the look of it. The incision is about 10 inches in length. It really amazes me how the body heals itself after such trauma!
