What have you done or are you doing to remove those stretch marks? What works? What doesn't?

I didn't get any when I was pregnant (and none yet, knock wood) but I've had them all over my boobs since I was 12. Nothing works!

I've heard time works, but that it doesn't remove them, only fades them a bit so they're not so obnoxious.

Ha.

Yea. Time.

Stretch marks can't really be removed...it's your skin that stretch! They can't make skin go back together...and personally, I don't see them as a big deal. I gave birth, whut.

I always imagine how thin I'd be if all my stretch marks went back together. :lol: Man, I'd lose a couple inches INSTANTLY!

:hehe:

I gave up worrying about them many years ago. So I can't wear a bikini or a short top. Not a biggie seeing as I never really wore them anyway. ;)

I agree...only time works! I don't really mind them anymore. My days of 2 pieces are over...oh, wait, I never wore them anyway!

Yup! Nothing really works! You can TRY to prevent them with oils...but I really think if you're going to get them, you're going to get them!

Mine have really faded, so that's at least better....I'm ok with them now. :rolleyes:

Mine have faded a ton and are now white-ish/silvery in color. They definitely lose that red/purple bruised look over time and are less obvious but they never, ever go away.

Could have sworn I responded to this maybe it was another thread.

Nothing works. Or at least that's what I think. I got mine after I had Matt, you know from my belly shrinking so fast! :rolleyes: Yeah right.

I had some on my legs too. The ones on my legs are almost non-existent which makes me think that they weren't stretch marks. The ones on my belly I only had a handful and they faded fairly quickly.

i read that the octomom uses some kind of hormonal cream or something. I just read this quickly yesterday at the dr. office.

FWIW I tried that Strivectin cream and it didn't do crap
