MSK Doctors (+4403300010048) has released a new guide for knee replacement surgery patients in London’s Wandsworth borough, highlighting recommended self-care methods to encourage short and long-term scar healing.
-- The release comes as MSK Doctors looks to educate readers who will shortly be undergoing total knee replacement surgery. A pressing issue among such patients is the severity of any scarring resulting from the procedure; yet, as the guide notes, there are several ways to administer scar care while promoting a more effective recovery process.

MSK Doctors adds that these methods are performable in a home setting as patients recover post-op. Its guide illustrates a detailed timeline that indicates the expected look of scars following knee replacement surgery, allowing patients to track the progress of their rehabilitation - and by following the featured tips, reduce the visibility of their scarring.
Aftercare instructions are typically provided by attending surgeons in person, but MSK Doctors’ guide provides readers with a readily accessible document from which to refer at all times. This will take them from the immediate aftermath of the procedure - when they’ll be wearing dressings and focusing primarily on keeping their incision clean - all the way through to long-term wound management.
Scar minimisation techniques are part of the latter stage, developed with potential cosmetic and functional benefits. As written in the guide: “Once your wound has closed and your surgeon confirms it's safe, you can start using balms and gently massaging your scar. This can help to keep the skin supple and may reduce scar tissue buildup.”
Alongside balms, the guide recommends creams, ointments, and silicone sheets as a means of lessening the appearance of scars. In addition, it suggests that certain lifestyle and health choices may have an impact on scarring - for example, improving one’s sleep can trigger the body’s natural healing process.
Professor Paul Lee and MSK Doctors’ wider network of Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeons offer astute observations regarding the above. The guide stresses the importance of seeking professional guidance if scarring isn’t healing as expected.
In such scenarios, MSK Doctors is equipped to broker connections between patients and industry-renowned specialists based in Wandsworth and nearby.
“Our commitment lies in offering comprehensive, high-quality information, trusted resources, and services across the UK for those seeking musculoskeletal care,” says an MSK Doctors spokesperson. “Contact us today to discover more about how we can assist with wound care after total knee replacement surgery.”
