How can stretch marks be treated?

Good luck? While the appearance of stretch marks (striae) is similar to that of scar tissue, their location (often on the lower breast or lower abdomen) often allows them to be removed via breast lift or “tummy tuck” (abdominoplasty).

Indeed, stretch marks ARE scar tissue, even if they’re not traumatic, so making them go away is a difficult proposition. Basically keep them moisturized (any skin cream with vitamin E and moisturizers is good) and keep fit. If you have a good diet, a good moisturizer, and they still don’t go away, go to your dermatologist - there may be nothing else you can do.

Honestly, “stretch marks” to me are like tiger stripes. You’ve survived a bitchin’ transformation of your body, for better or for worse (HELLO PUBERTY), and you’re still alive. Awesome! Scars are what attract awesome people - ladies and dudes - and those people don’t care if those stretch marks are cause you have some pudge because you’ve been too busy fighting your life’s battles, killer tits, or an awesome offspring to show for it!
