11 weeks post LTKR- These are earlier pics of my TKR. As you can see, I keloid easily. I have been massaging my scar with Vitamin E to try & reduce the scar. I am not too concerned about the scarring as long as my knee heals properly.

LTKR 2/3/2013. Photo taken 5/2/2013 while dressing was being changed. Soluble sutures and steri strips. I will be interested to see the finished result.

This was my scar at one month post op. It was also done using glue. There is a marker next to it pointing to one lone suture that somehow popped up from layers underneath. You have to look hard to see the purplish spot near the point of the pen. My PT told me that it would likely keep my OS from letting me go swimming. I e-mailed the picture to my OS and he said since I'd be in a chlorinated pool, he was not at all concerned.

I hope this picture is not too large. I am posting from my IPad. The pictures were taken on day 5 for both knees; different surgeons and different hospitals. The right knee was done first. What looks like a couple of bruises on the left knee is actually my initials and those of the

surgeon. There never was the first bruise with the left knee and the incision is about 4" shorter.

Let's see if this uploads for me This is my RTKR, one month post op. If you look just above the scar there is another long scar, pale white (below the dotted blue line). That is from first knee surgery in 1977 at age 18. This new incision is actually smaller!
