My husband just had his one year check up for his jiffy knees so I asked the PA why the difference in how some incisions look worse. She said it’s usually just how each persons body reacts to the sutures and what has been used to close the incisions. It will still heal nicely. My husbands first one bruised and the second one barely at all. He had a little numbness on the outside of one that went away soon and none on the other knee.
A minimally invasive procedure scar is usually 4-6 inches. The Dr and PA feel that doesn’t give them enough room to get a good visual. A regular scar is 8-12 inches and the size can depend on the persons size.
Good luck to you!

@barbfred ,
I was hoping to postpone forever having the second one done... but atlas my knee is telling me differently.
Starting the research on this Jiffy as more surgeons have been educated in Dr. Patel's techniques near me. Healthgrades can't even report on this however, or any other reviewing methods on surgeon's techniques and quality. as it's so new.
A major concern for me: How do we schedule and plan for such major surgery as our country is on fire and on the edge of a revolution? Seriously.
Crazy stuff going down all around. Guns, ICE, the Constitution being shredded... Can I really fit a major surgery in right now? All hell is breaking loose as everyone is realizing what these tariffs are doing and the loss of health benefits etc....
