PS/stretch mark Question!

I feel like a dummy asking this, but I have to know! :P

When you get your tummy done, do they take off the skin with stretch marks? Everyone's after pics seem unbelievably smooth, and I didn't know if maybe they didn't have stretch marks there to begin with?!

It all depends on where your stretch marks are, and how much they remove. If your stretch marks are limited to below the belly button, then most of them will be removed.

I only had a few stretch marks from pregnancy, but had developed some through the years from weight gain, which made me bigger than any pregnancy did!! And now I have none at all. What I do have is a scar! So......it just depends.....some people have serious stretch mark issues, all the way around the side, and those would most likely not be dealt with, with the TT.

I am smooth....unbelievably so!!! I have swelling still, and it is way worse on my left side.....but I am still totally thrilled with the result of the TT!
