Is there a way to get rid of darker skin around where my incisions meet? (Photo)

Asked By:Daissy67

I had my breast reduction one year ago last month. I am SUPER happy with the results, but I have been curious about these marks. For the first month of recovery, they weren't very noticeable, but quickly became larger and darker. I figured they would fade, but a year later they are still here. Does anyone know what these dark spots are, and if there is a way to fade them? Thanks!
