I am 3 months post op. I'm ready to start dealing with the scar. Any suggestion on what you have used to help fade the scar? I bought mederma today, but not sure if it's the best solution. thanks

Hi there Jenkie, not heard of mederma so can't comment on that.
I used to use BioOil, from the time the scar healed over, to flatten the scar.
I was advised by my physio after the 1st TKR to use cream to moisturise, flatten & stop the scar from 'sticking' to the tissue underneath it, so from about 4 weeks po I was massaging the scar, this time too.
For the last month I have been using Holland & Barrett's Royal Jelly Leg & Vein Cream.
Others have used Emu Oil & VitE Cream.
If you have no irritation along the scar, & I presume from the name, mederma is for the skin, no harm in trying. See how it feels.

Everyone had their own miracle but I alwAys did best with vit E oil. Massaged it in with my thumbs twice a day. I've now had so many surgeries on my knee I'd have to have a skin graft to cover the scar
