Removing Stretch Marks

After your baby is born, stretch marks will not fade instantaneously. They may last for a very long time, and you won't 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 can actually be fine with the results of the natural process. There are many scar serums that will, if used faithfully in the first months after pregnancy, help your scars heal even more. Not everyone is happy with natural curing as a stretch mark solution, and many women seek more permanent stretch mark removal options. Fortunately there are many options available for sufferers 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 risks and don't interfere with your organism's ability to function and therefore stretch mark elimination is considered a cosmetic intervention. In all but strong weight loss cases, most insurance companies won't cover the cost of cosmetic surgeries. If you couldn't prevent stretch marks from forming, before going through any medical intervention, please research the risks and issues carefully. Surgeries, by their very nature, are an invasive intervention. Always go to a specialist and review their references. There have been many women who have visited 'discount' surgeons, or travelled to other countries to have surgeries done at a lower cost than they could at a trained specialist, with terrible results. There are a number of cases of misaligned belly buttons, a minor issue compared to massive scarring, infections, and even death that others have experienced. Surgical Stretch Mark Removal Stretch mark surgery (usually referred to as 'plastic surgery') is the best solution to make stretch marks go away. Abdominoplasty, usually known as a 'tummy tuck', will remove skin under the belly button (which happens to be where the majority of stretch marks occur during pregnancy), and, as a result, removes the stretch marks completely. Plastic surgery can be done any where there is excess skin (thighs, upper arms, etc.) As with any surgery, a tummy tuck will produce scarring of its own, which will fade the first year after surgery. The surgical incisions are usually done 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 making 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 hospitals charge more than others), but a good estimate of cost would be somewhere from $4000 to $7500.
