Expert opinion - should losing weight help reduce cellulite and stretch marks?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Stretch Marks: Unfortuantely stretch marks are very difficult to treat and weight loss is unlikely to help. Stretch marks are actually scars or tears in the dermis (the deep layer of your skin). Just like scars there may be treatments to make them less visible, but the only way to eliminate them is to remove them - this is exactly what a procedure like an abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) does.
