Arm Lift Scar Revision - what are my options? (photos)

Question

I am 14 months post-op and very unstatisfied with my arm-lift scars. I don't wanna go back to the surgeon (Dr. Emre Goenen in Istanbul) who performed the arm lift because when I asked for a revision (arms are slightly asymmetrical because of his liposuction) he became angry. Also I don't believe in his competence. So I wanted to ask if there is anything that I could do about those scars or is the scarring normal? Would you recommend scar revision? And if so, what would the procedure be like?

Dear weightloss2022,
scar prevention begins in the OR during the surgery when I meticulously close wounds in multiple layers in order to reduce tension and reduce scars width. I tape my incisions during the early postoperative period to reduce micromotions of the tissues so the incision can heal earlier. I also use compression garments and later Biocorneum gel.
