These are day-to-day photos of the flap site healing, for the 2 weeks after the staples were removed. Kept up protein in diet, and rubbing coco butter and vitamin E oil onto the scar site.  Began gentle range of motion on both legs.  Of course the left leg (surgery site) was sore.  The leg will extend completely straight. During range of motion the leg is tight when trying to bend knee towards chest, just be very gentle--want to stretch the new skin, not stress the suture site.  Photo #5 shows the ripples on the thigh where skin needs to stretch.
