How long does it take to recovery from having scar tissue removed after having total knee replacement?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Varies with healing: Most surgeons prefer to allow the surgical scars to mature for several months to identify areas of problem scars versus those that mature and become less apparent. Soft tissue wound healing is generally completed in 9-12 months, permiting revisions. As the knee is a mobile joint, it will take a bit longer for scarring to settle down and determine the areas of need and options.

6-12 weeks: It depends on what was done. You should ask your surgeon.
