Stretch Mark and Scar Removal

Hi, I've recently had my lapband surgery. From all the weight I have gained over the years, I have a ton of stretch marks. Does anyone have any recommendations for how to treat these? I'm looking for something a little more advanced than topical creams (unless someone has had experience with a great one). Topical creams seem to be more geared towards preventing stretch marks than in removing or minimizing ones that have already been there awhile.

I'm wondering what kind of doctors deal with this or what kind of treatments are available that are more advanced than creams, like lasers or something. I've had trouble finding online some really good recommendations of treatment facilities or doctors that do this. Any suggestions?

I'm also interested in hearing what other people know about this too.
