Nothing but surgery.: Stretch marks are not due to actual mechanical stretch (though that may be a component of their development), but rather because of hromonal changes that affect the skin's structure. That's why young women who are not obese and have not been pregnant can get them (puberty and rapid growth), as well as some men. Think of the hormonal swings with pregnancy! tummy tucks (witch hazel) remove but do not cause them!
