There are many products that claim they can eliminate stretch marks.
These products range from lotions to creams to gels.
Some of them might work in lessening the appearance of stretch marks but when you talk about eliminating these marks a tummy tuck procedure is probably your best bet.
Tummy Tuck for Stretch Marks A tummy tuck (abdominiplasty), is a surgical procedure that involves the removing of excess fat and skin in the middle and lower parts of the abdomen.
This means that the skin with stretch marks are able to be removed surgically.
How is it done? The surgeon will make an incision on the abdomen on the area where the excess fat and loose skin is going to be removed.
The length of the incision depends on how much is going to be removed.
A common tummy tuck procedure called the Full or Traditional Tummy Tuck involves making an incision from hip to hip, hidden in the bikini line.
other kinds of tummy tucks like the Mini Tummy Tuck just involves an incision that is about 6 inches long while the Body Lift involves making an incision as long as the entire waistline.
Are you eligible to undergo the procedure? A tummy tuck is not normally performed on those who just want to eliminate stretch marks.
This procedure is usually recommended for people who are only a few pounds away from their ideal body weight.
A person must also be physically and psychologically fit before undergoing the procedure.
It is recommended that you consult a board of plastic surgeons to discuss eligibility to undergo a tummy tuck procedure.
There is no harm in trying out other cosmetic products to eliminate stretch marks.
Just make sure that you don't end up spending so much on products that do not deliver.
