A doctor has provided 1 answer
Information.: Stretch marks generally do not occur as a result of weight loss. Nost lilely they were there before the weight loss and have become more visible as they become closer together. There is no really good way to treat stretch marks. Surgical excison is the best way as often is done in tummy tuck procedure.
