I had a breast augmentation 2 years ago. Since I have darker Asian skin, my scar turned dark instead of light/white. I've tried everything from biocorneum, fractionated laser needling therapy, ex grade hydroquinone and retinol creams, and they have not lightened AT ALL. I am constantly covering them with makeup but it smudges almost immediately since they are in the crease under my breasts. I am single and dating and I am embarrassed for men to see the scars. Would a scar camo tattoo help?
