I mean for precise at least
From seeing other patients who did internal tibia with precise, that vertical scar on the knee to get the precise nail into the tibia looks the hardest scar to deal with visually. It faces the front is one problem unlike alot of the side leg scars
I'm assuming you can laser it a bunch of times to make it less, but I sort of wonder if this scar just requires a tattoo to fully conceal from someone who knows what LL is
I know a very thin guy who did quadilateral precise and he has dark skin. Almost of all of his scars just look like somewhat darker lines that don't look bad on him at all and the only scars that really stand out to me are the vertical knee scars which are sort of like larger, facing the front so they are easier to see, and they appear to be like... more a brighter pink color that makes them stand out on the darker skin. I vaguely remember seeing some other vertical knee scars from precise on people with lighter skin and I seem to remember them sticking out alot too
I'm starting to wonder that to fully conceal these scars/fully hide that you did LL if you really do need a tattoo for these but I'm hopeful that lasering it a bunch of times will help, like it looks too thick and wide for geometric scar revision (makes scars more squiggly/less linear to make them harder to see) to be useful I think, not sure..

I don't know why are you so concerned about scars. Getting rid of scars is much easier and cheaper than the LL itself. It's not a big deal otherwise just get a tattoo over them.

Yeah most people have fall and bruise marks on their knees and legs its really not that big of a deal if you are a guy. Especially if you have leg hair to cover it.

Can you link to a pic that shows what you mean?
