Hi
Sadly the stretch marks occur when the skin is stretching during pregnancy when the skin is not soft and supple.
Established stretch marks are treated by surgery when we do a tummy tuck along with tightening of the muscle and liposuction of the associated fat.
It's all part of the mummy makeover. Non surgical methods like lasers have a limited role in established stretch marks of 6 years. Also creams don't work please don't waste money on them, some of them are mild acids which can cause burns if not used properly
Next Steps
If they are bothering you please come see us or a plastic surgeon to check on the possibility of a tummy tuck
