Will my stretch marks disappear after having a tummy tuck?

Question:

Will my stretch marks disappear after having a tummy tuck?

Answer:

With abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) the excess skin is excised, after which everything is stitched back together. This enables the surgeon to correct some of the stretch marks. But please be aware that it is not necessarily possible to improve all stretch marks. Stretch marks above the navel and at the outskirts of the stomach are usually tricky to remove.
