14 Month Post-op Lipo - Purple, Indented Scars

ashleigh4
I had lipo 14 months ago. Insicion sites are on flanks, front of thighs and behind knees. Scars are extremely indented, purple and have hyperpigmentation stretching 1 inch around the scars. Are there any treatments that will actually work? I am thinking about scar revision but then I am still left with the incredibly noticeable discoloration. Discoloration seems to be getting larger. Thankyou in advance.
