I consulted with a friend of mine who is a plastic surgeon in NYC.... She said there are only two real ways to get rid of stretch marks... 1 Retin-A cream 2 - Laser. Coco butter etc does not work. As for wrinkles..it really does take time for your body to "snap back". My belly wrinkles went away a few months after giving birth. I am preggers again will go through the same thing.
Good luck!

The Truth about Stretch Marks
by Joanne Elliott
What is a stretch mark?
Stretch marks (or Striae Gravidarum) is a term that refers to the scars on your skin which are caused damage to the elastic fibres that help skin stretch. Stretch marks are perfectly normal, and most women - and even some men - have them!
What do stretch marks look like?
Depending on your skin color, stretch marks start out as pink, reddish brown, brown, or very dark brown streaks. After time they can fade to a more silvery color that’s lighter than your other skin.
Where do they normally happen on your body?
They can happen anywhere on your body, but are most common on hips, breasts and buttocks.
How can I avoid getting stretch marks?
Whether you get them or not is simply a matter of genetics… that is, how elastic your skin is. There’s nothing you can do, so don’t worry about it either way!
Does cream help?
Many women use various types of creams, lotions, and oils to try to prevent stretch marks from forming. Unfortunately, while such products soothe and soften the skin, there is no medical evidence to prove that they actually work! So beware of advertisers trying to sell you expensive products claiming that they prevent stretch marks!
This said, there is some new medical research which shows that some specific creams may be able to help the appearance of stretch marks. Apparently, using 0.1 percent Tretinoin cream (commonly known by the trade name Retin-A) on stretch marks will slightly reduce the length and width of stretch marks.
(N.B. As this is a new development, Tretinoin should not be used during pregnancy or breast feeding).
7 'Magic' Tips for Healthier Skin
Avoid stress as much as you are can.
Stay out of the sun (or protect your skin with UV blockers).
Don't smoke. This does nasty things to your skin...
Drink lots of water.
Get plenty of sleep.
Be sure to clean your skin properly.
Eat lots of fruit and vegetables.
Mederma Ointment is good for stretch marks though it can take several weeks for any visible results.
Hope I helped.

Get rid of Stretch Marks?

Palmers Cocoa Butter Lotion if you're on a budget. If you do have the extra cash and want to splurge, Stri-Vecin may work for you. You can purchase some of that goodness at Sephora.

Cocoa Butter. My mom and sister-in-law both used it during their pregnancies and had no stretch marks. My friend also used it on some scars and it faded them almost to non-existence.
