How long before incisions are less noticeable?

[atlmag 77]

I'm 5 months post op and down a little over 100 lbs and feeling great. Just trying to get an general idea how long before the incisions become a little less noticeable. They have faded slightly but still very noticeable (especially the larger ones) if I was to take my shirt off at the pool. My surgeon ended up using staples because the skin was pulling to much which I think made it that much worse since I also have staple holes along side the incisions. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Picture attached of the worse ones.

I'm not sure when they'll fade but be sure to put sunscreen on them if uncovered or they'll get worse.
