I'm 21 and during my teenage years, I cut myself a lot.

Now I have lots of scars from cutting and burns. I am in therapy. My question is, how can I cover them up for surgery. I know that you aren't supposed to wear make-up and stuff but I am really embarrassed by my scars. They are mostly around my lower leg. I don't want to answer any questions from surgeons or nurses. And I don't want to be deemed "not mentally fit" to have surgery. I've thought about Dermablend. Also, what about a henna tattoo? That's not make-up and I'm pretty sure that would cover them up. Thanks for your answers!
