Skin is basically elastic, and is able to tolerate significant stretching, such as what occurs during pregnancy.
However, even skin reaches its limit at some point, and, unable to stretch any further, the deepest layer of skin tears. When a layer of skin tears, the overlying skin remains intact but appears thin and streaky. These streaks are called stretch marks, and they are permanent, unless eliminated through stretch mark removal surgery.
Stretch mark removal surgery is the only guaranteed treatment to get rid of them. Laser Treatments for Stretch Marks Although many skin care specialists tout laser treatments as effective remedies for stretch marks, there is no scientific proof that laser treatment works. In fact, most plastic surgeons consider laser therapy ineffective when treating this problem.
Lasers are effective in removing, vaporizing, and breaking down tissue, but not as effective as surgery to remove stretch marks.
Stretch marks are caused by torn tissue, and laser treatments does nothing to repair them. Such treatments may be minimally effective in thinning out the skin surrounding the stretch marks and creating more evenly textured skin, but that benefit is hardly worth the colossal expense. The Tummy Tuck Surgery to Remove Stretch Marks Abdominal stretch marks develop primarily below the belly button.
And with that said, a tummy tuck is the only surefire method of removing them from your abdomen. Most of the skin below the belly button is removed during a tummy tuck, and the stretch marks are removed with them. So after the procedure, the stretch marks are quite literally GONE. Costs of Stretch Mark Removal Surgery Like everything else, medical costs have been climbing slowly over the past decade, with cosmetic surgery to remove stretch marks proving to be no exception.
