Liposuction incisions, how to lighten them?

May 17, 2014
Asked By:Kane in Fort Lauderdale, Florida

I got lipo done on my flanks in 2012, and my surgeon was smart enough to position the incision, one higher than the other, so it looks less artificial, even though they have healed, and are lighter in color, they are not the same color as my skin, how can I lighten them? would using hydroquinone on this area, lighten the incision color? I've had been given back massages, and people don't mention anything, probably assume they are acne red marks
