Bodytite burned my legs and now I have scars

I had Bodytite done on my legs 6 months ago because I was going to start a new career where I would have to be in a bathing suit a lot.
I had Bodytite performed by a supposed experienced board-certified plastic surgeon in Culver City. I was put under local anesthesia because the pain would’ve been too much for me to bear. When I woke up from the procedure I wasn’t aware of how much I was burned. (Thank god the procedure temporarily damages your nerves so you can’t feel anything for about 3-6 months.)
The bandages fell off when I went to use the restroom after I got home. I saw the burn marks on my knees and my upper legs. I also feel like I have a permanent bump on my knee cap that is still painful. When I called the next day they told me to email the doctor. He told me just to leave everything as is don’t put anything on it, just keep the bandages on. They weren’t really bandages, it was gauze wrapped around my legs... it’s ridiculous to even think they would stay on.
Long story short I never put anything on them or treated them I just let them close like he told me too. I wish I would’ve gone to a wound specialist maybe I wouldn’t of had such bad scars. The doctor tried to treat them twice with Fractora, it really didn’t do anything. He also tried to surgically make them smaller but the scars just spread out again.
I still have pain in my knee caps and have a bump on it that is painful. I pretty much never want to go in a bathing suit again and I don’t know how I’m ever going to date and explain what I have all over my legs. I went in for a procedure to improve my legs only to make them look worse. And if you’re wondering if the Bodytite actually worked? I barely see a difference. I also feel the swelling around my knees for the past 6 months made the lines around my knees worse. It definitely was not worth everything I’ve been through. I highly do not recommend it.
