Specializes in General Surgery

6 weeks for healing: You had leg surgery. You want to know how long to heal. 6-8 weeks will have the maximum deposit of collagen to the skin or scar. The bone gets tacky in 7 days after surgery but still takes 6-8 weeks to heal. The body continues to remodel over time. Eat well focus on breathing and exercise when you can. Be well.
