Botched neck lift 1 year ago left thick hypertrophic scars around ears and depigmenting along hairline. Treatment advice?

downhillfast
I’m 1 yr postop from botched necklift w/ bad hypertrophic scars placed too far in front of and below ears. Am doing revision in 3 more mos. My new PS said she can easily cut the scars out. But I am also seeing a thin white line which I was told is depigmented skin at the hairline behind my ears. The white is very unsightly. How can depigmented areas be treated? Can this be fully resolved? Also what is risk for hypertrophic scars and more depigmentation in revision surgery?
