Typically after hernia surgery, the incision and surgical site will take around 2 weeks to heal.
Hello, this depends on how the hernia was repaired. Laparoscopic incisions are small and heal in 2-3 weeks. If you have an incision over your groin, there are multiple layers that need to heal, and it would take 5-6 weeks. I wish you a speedy recovery!
Normally, 6-12 weeks.
Incisions, regardless of the type of operation, are typically "healed" within 1-2 weeks. This means that sutures or staples can be removed safely without concern of the wound opening. The overall healing and scarring process can take up to 3-6 months before the final appearance and strength is achieved.
