One year: Most muscles take uo to a year to gain fullstrength but theywill never have the 100% strength of uncut muscles, proof is that herneas of the incision canocurr up to 5 years post op.

Natural Healing: The good news is that area has fantastic blood supply and so healing will occur rapidly. Inflammation (red, hot, tender swelling) is the body increasing the blood flow to the injury to bring healing factors to the area and also the veins expand to carry bad stuff away. Dressings and ointments are of no value there. Avoid further trauma to the area and let nature take it's course.
