My scars hyperpigmented after Smart Lipo. What can I do? (Photos)

October 5, 2018
Asked By:lotus90 in Miami, Florida

My scars after lipo are dark and I’m so self conscious when In a bikini. My dermatologist tried ematrix laser on them and it got worse, then another doctor tried picosure and I feel like it got worse now it’s getting a tad bit better but they are still super noticeable. Is there any type of surgery I can do to get rid of these scars? I’m desperate. I’ve tried bleaching creams and silicone creams and nothing is working.
