A member asked:
How do i know when will the incision marks from arthroscopic knee surgery heal (disappear)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Never completely: There will always be a scar. It takes 3-6mo for the scar to mature and become white and non inflamed (not red). If you go out in the sun wear sunblock (not sreen) . The sun will tan and set the scar dark.
