Dark Brown Leg After TKR, Have Excessive Amount Of Scar Tissue. Is It Normal?

Hi there, I had a TKR on my left knee about 5 weeks ago, and now my left leg is a darker brown then the right one. Is this normal? With having to wear the brace which almost completely covers the leg, it is definitely not from the sun... I should also mention that I do have a excessive amount of scar tissue . I scelduled for a MUA next week. Not sure if the scar tissue would have anything to do with it..... Thank You Mrs. Madison
