Whats the Best Treatment for Pigmented Liposuction Scars?

Babygirl4
Hi, I've had liposuction 2 years ago.While I love the results, I'm dissatisfied with the two brown holes it has left. My skin color is a Middle Eastern like light olive color. The scars are not raised but you can clearly see the brown scars. I have been using a 4% hydroquinone cream for couple months, which helped only a tiny bit if anything at all.Whats the best treatment for scars like this? Lasers, dermabrasion,skin grafting,etc.? Does it matter if a dermatologist dermatologist does it or PS?
