I have stretch marks on my abdomen but would like to get laser liposuction instead of a tummy tuck. Will it help my stretch marks become less visible?
Answer: Treatment of stretch marks with liposuction I have tried so many different treatments including different lasers for stretch marks including Fraxel, microdermabrasion, smoothbeam, Retin A cream, etc. The early red stretch marks are made less apparent by treating the red color wtih the V-beam laser. This takes multiple treatments. The mature stretch marks have a white thin surface with a loss of dermis below. I have not been able to reproducibly obtain significant improvement with the appearance of these mature scars. I have not heard that liposuction or laser-assisted liposuction truly improves mature stretch marks.

Answer: No it does not! Unfortunately, there is very little to help these scars that are in the skin. Some will get improvement with macrodermabrasion if done by an experienced aesthetician.

Answer: Laser liposuction will not help stretch marks Laser liposuction will certainly not help your stretch marks and has the very real possibility of worsening them. Stretch marks are signs of irreversible skin injury. Laser liposuction, or any other form of liposuction removes fat preferentially. With skin that isn't injured, some tightening of the skin usually happens to allow a pleasing contour to develop. When stretch marks are present, the skin has lost its elastic properties, and therefore cannot re-drape. The overhanging skin typically worsens in appearance.

Answer: Stretch marks Unfortunately there is nothing on the market that I know of that can treat stretch marks adequately. Laser liposuction is primarily good to suction fat and may have a mild effect on the skin to tighten it. This will do nothing for stretch marks.

Answer: Stretch marks The only way to remove stretch marks is to remove the skin that has the stretch marks in them There is no other way to remove them. You can sometimes make them look less prominent by using a laser that reduces the color of the stretch marks.
