Stretch Marks.

[LotusOnBuddha]

I got stretch marks like in my underarm from gaining muscle. I disliked them so i had my dermatologist ( which happens to be my mom, lucky draw or what) Do fraxel and PCA body peels to get rid of them. According to her, I got them because i put on a lot of muscle very quickly and she was able to get rid of them because they were still purple and new.

I say if you lost a lot of weight and have them, then its a notch in your belt for improving your health and life, and good for you, dont let anyone put you down for it.

Congratulations on your weight loss, but the stretch marks happened when you gained the weight and not when you lost it.

To answer your question, I neither love nor hate them. It's not something that I notice or would bother me if I did.

Stretch marks can be worked with some. Like the poster said above if they are new even easier and there is also laser skin graphing.

Now if only I could say the same about lose skin. Will be bulking up muscle like mad for few years but I bet I'll still have some. Hopefully there will be other options then besides the crappy huge scar surgeries.

I can't get rid of my stretch marks, but I have to be happy with them I guess.

You forgot an option: I don't care either way.

I have some on my upper arm due to muscle expansion. Some people have recommended cocoa butter to fade them, but I have yet to try it out.

What does it matter whats on the outside its the person inside that body that defines the being, some the most perfect looking people walking the planet are so ugly inside as to not be worth a second glance so give yourself a big pat on the back for the weight loss after all nobody ever died as a result of stretch marks and just be you if people dont like it well their loss.

i am too bothered by stretchmarks too.. it happened when i gained weight and started working out.. i noticed that they are getting too many and it sometimes itchy.. was it because i never use any moisturizers or lotions?
is there a peeling something or creams strong enough to wipe away or even lessen these stretchmarks without the lasers and dermabrasions?? just asking..

I have them too, on my hips...but they're not huge or anything ! However, they sre visible enough.

I don't like them...but it's not like I hate them either. If they were larger I guess I would...but as they are now they're no major annoyance or anything !

I don't think anyone LIKES stretch marks but it's a natural occurance that does not sway the bone-appeal of someone.
