“Vaser / smart lipo scarring on legs”

I have dark scars on my legs 1cm in length after smart & vaser lipo. The surgeon didn't seem very concerned when I went back and said they would fade to white lines. It has been a year in October and they have faded by are still dark and I know can't wear certain length dresses or swimwear as the scars are too noticable.

Pros- it did work and change my shape & recovery time was very quick

Cons - the scarring I wasn't prepared for how noticable the scarring was and am now quite embarassed as the ones on my outer thighs can be seen when wearing normal summer dresses
