A tummy tuck! :) I've seen it on tv, and they were almost completely gone! I too, have stretch marks from my first child. He was worth it though. In 4 years time, they have worn some, so they aren't as noticeable now, but I still know they are there.
Children do mess with your body, but I think they are well worth it in the end. Good luck with your venture! I also need to find a cure for those annoying 'mommy lines.'

To be frank with you, stretch marks are there to stay. I too, have stretch marks around my abdomen and it's really annoying at times. But there are certainly over-the-counter products (or you can ask your pharmacist), certain brands that can help 'reduce' the appearance or diminish it's visibility.
Actually, once a woman is pregnant, the measure to reduce the chances of getting stretch marks (or diminish its visibility) should start early on Women can use cocoa butter which is really good in diminishing stretch marks. As for some, they would just use a good moisturising lotion.
But overall, let's remember that stretch marks are also hereditary. But of course, that doesn't leave you in the corner. You can still help beautify your stretch marks by applying a good moisturiser or skin lotion on it. Better yet, use a cocoa butter (skin lotion).

Some people say tanning in a bed will help hide them, but then you may look like a 60yr old in a couple years. I personally am having a tummy tuck in a year, they'll just cut 'em out. Sorry kinda gross but it is the only real way to get rid of them completely. Oh and it will cost about $5000. Even when they do fade you can still see them. Short of drastic surgery try to moisturize. Sorry I'm not much help other than that.

Did you try captiva stretch mark cream? These stretch marks occur when the middle layer - dermis layer of the skin tears off. There is a new cream called captiva Stretch mark cream which is said to have peptides that encourage new cell production in the dermis layer to heal those stretch marks. It is offering 1 month introductory free trial which I think is enough to decide whether it works or not.

Ryan's mom is soooo right. The only fix is surgery- they cut out the scar, and the new heal-line usually has less or no scar tissue in it! I've tried vitamin e, but the effects... just not too impressive! worth a shot though!

Nothing other than plastic surgery will get rid of them, but using Vitamin E oil will help reduce the appearance.

Surgery is your answer dear. Sorry! Save up your money if they bother you that much. Just remember they joy you got for the price of the scars.

I take fish oil vitamins....1000mg. Its great for skin complexion, hair and nails. Vitamins, vegetables, water and a great workout will do wonders for your skin. My stretchmarks have lost a lot of redness although i doubt they will ever disappear completely

you are stuck with them unless you get laser treatment or plastic surgery
that's what kids do ruin your bodies and make yoou feel old
better hide those marks before your man sees them and does not find you attractive anymore and trade you in on another model
