How long does or take to recover from knee replacement then scar tissue removal surgery?

It varies: It also depends on what you mean by recover. If you mean up walking on your own without assistance and no walker or cane probably 6-8 weeks. Depending how badly you scar you may not need scar revision but recover from that should be much shorter.
