It's only a couple of months since my THR but in the shower I cannot miss seeing my scar in the mirror. At the age of 76 I cannot imagine mine will be on public display too often but for a younger person their scar might seem more important. So I wonder if the scar will fade in time or maybe disappear completely. Is there any proven cream or massage which will help it on its way ??

For readers who are just about to have a hip replacement a vast majority of operations go without any complications - but there are few for whom something has gone wrong, and my sympathy goes out to them. I had my THR in late december and my wife, who diligently rubs in the bio oil, tells me that the scar is slowly fading. My only occasional reminder is that the small remaining raised scar tissue rubs on my jeans, but a tight pair of pants solves that problem. So to those who are about to have their THR I wish you well, and a quick and easy recovery.
