Removing Stretch Marks


After pregnancy, stretch marks will not fade instantantly. They may last for a very long time, and you will not eliminate them before at least six months after you have your baby.

Normally, stretch marks will fade with time, and if you followed the advices on how you can avoid stretch marks you may actually be fine with the results of the natural fading. There are several scar serums that will, if used faithfully in the first months after pregnancy, help your scars heal faster.

Not everyone is content to depend solely on the natural fading process of a stretch mark. Many women seek more effective stretch mark removal options.

Luckily there are several options available for people who are wondering how to get rid of stretch marks, although results vary as do the costs associated with them. Stretch marks pose absolutely no health dangers and don't interfere with your organism's capability to function. Therefore, stretch mark elimination is considered a cosmetic procedure. In all but strong weight loss cases, most insurance companies won't cover the cost of cosmetic surgeries.

If you were not able to prevent stretch marks from forming, please study the dangers carefully before going through with any clinical procedure. Surgeries, by their very nature, are an invasive procedure. Always go to a specialist and check their references.
Surgical Stretch Mark Removal

Stretch mark surgery (commonly referred to as 'plastic surgery') is the best solution to make stretch marks go away.

Abdominoplasty, commonly referred to as a 'tummy tuck', will remove skin under the belly button (which happens to be where the majority of stretch marks appear during pregnancy), and, as a result, removes the stretch marks completely.

Plastic surgery can be performed anywhere there is excess skin (thighs, upper arms, etc.) As with any surgery, a tummy tuck will leave scarring of its own, which will fade the first year after surgery. The surgical incisions are usually made low in the abdomen so that they can be dissimulated by bikini bottoms or other clothing.

Most insurance companies do not cover the cost associated with a plastic surgeon performing a surgery to remove a stretch mark. Prevent them from forming if you can, because the cost of the surgery depends on where you have the surgery done (some doctors and clinics charge more than others), but a good estimate of cost would be somewhere from $4000 to $7500.
