See a possible result before you decide.

Take a photo, move the sliders, and get a picture of what you are actually asking a surgeon for.

This is a drawing, not a diagnosis. It is a filter running on your phone, the same way a camera app works. It has not been checked by a doctor and it cannot see your bone, your gums or your health. Use it to show a surgeon what you want — never as a reason to expect a result.

Ask a surgeon what is realistic

A knee does not show up in a photo.

We could draw you something. It would be meaningless — a knee replacement changes how you move, not how you look. So here is the thing that actually matters instead.

Day 1–2

On your feet, with a frame

Standing the day after surgery is normal and expected. The physio starts before you leave the room.
Week 1

Stairs, slowly

Most people manage a flight of stairs with a rail before they fly home. This is the week you are still in Turkey.
Week 6

Walking without a stick

Indoors first, then short distances outside. Swelling is still normal at this point.
Month 3

Back to ordinary days

Shopping, driving, a normal walk. The pain you came in with is usually gone by here.
Month 12

As good as it gets

Full recovery takes a year. Cycling and swimming, yes. Running and jumping, generally not.

Typical, not promised. These are ordinary timelines for an uncomplicated knee replacement. Age, weight, other conditions and how the joint looked before surgery all change them. Your surgeon gives you your timeline — this one is only here so you know what to ask about.
