I have contour deformity on inner thigh, one year since CoolSculpting. What can be done so shadowing is not so visible? (Photo)

One year post coolsculpting, right thigh has contour deformity due to incorrect placement , What can be done about this ? Can it be corrected if so how ? I don't want the shadowing that it's causing . IT IS NOT Hyperpigmentation . It's definitely a botched coolsculpting placement. Left thigh is perfect , right thigh has a shadow .
