I have many stretch marks from having my baby how can I get rid of them?

Answer 1

You can use cocoa butter or lotions that contain Vitamin C to minimize the appearance. However, short of plastic surgery, there's no way to completely get rid of them.

Answer 2

Stretch Marks don't go away. .They do fade significantly with the use of Pure Shea butter. I have some on my buttocks that have faded away well. Pure Shea butter also helps in the prevention of stretch marks. I used Pure Shea butter on my belly during pregnancy and have 1 or 2 slight stretch marks near my naval. Can hardly be seen. My belly got large. My daughter was 8:13. Pure Shea butter is usually found at African street festivals, Health food stores and local street vendors. Pure Shea butter will smell very pea nutty, but can be made to smell better with a lotion and fragrance of your choice to take the peanut smell away. You know it's pure because the vendor has the Shea butter in the part of the tree. He/she may scoop it into a plastic container in front of you. Yellow or White. I prefer yellow believe it is stronger. They say they both have the same properties though. Hope this helps.

Answer 3

You really can't, you can cut them down with a tummy tuck, but they will only do that once I think. Stretch marks are scars from your skin tearing as it swells. After some time when your stomach shrinks almost back to the way it was, they will become fine white lines. Even men get stretch marks so don't worry about them.

Answer 4

People say they will never go away but when i had got some i used alot of cocoa butter everyday and they really went away. Seriously. Try using cocoa butter 3 times a day and vitamin E oil with it. You can put cocoa butter first where the stretch marks are and then put the vitamin E oil after.

Answer 5

Sorry, there is no magic way they are just the proud scars of motherhood. Plastic surgery can help but is expensive. The creams do NOT work, so don't waste your time and money. They will fade a little with time, but they will always be there. And when you have another child you'll probably get more. Truth hurts honey. LOL

Answer 6

Stretch marks are yours to keep for ever and ever, congratulations ;) SEriously though, they'll fade in time and hardly be noticeable soon enough. Some people think scar medications like mederma will help them fade faster. Someone in here posted about Retin-A but that's whacky stuff and isn't really indicated to use to fade stretch marks. Retin-A dries up your oil glands, and stretch marks arent' caused by oil glands.

Answer 7

They will fade through the years and look more like scars. The ONLY way to get rid of them is laser (50% effective & pricey) and plastic surgery if you have enough extra skin that can be removed (pricey as well) Just think of them as a mark of how much you love your child/children.

Answer 8

i often wondered when i was pregnant why every one used the creams on their tummy, i just thought it was vanity. now after 2 kids i know its because of the stretch marks that never seem to go away. you don't seem to notice the stretching as it's going on, only the results when it's over. Grin and bear it and remember you're not the only one.

Answer 9

Stretch marks will fade over time, but typically don't go away. There are some creams available that are suppose to help, but I don't know anyone they've worked for. You can pay to have laser stretch mark removal if they really bother you (and you can afford it).

Answer 10

They will fade with time, but your bod will never be the same after you have them (unless you have money for plastic surgery). I would recommend just getting used to them because they are there for life. Sorry if you aren't happy with that answer, but no lotions or creams will fix them :(
