Stretch marks may get worse or not change after liposuction. I have never seen them get any better after the procedure.

Liposuction
Liposuction will unfortunately not get rid of stretchmarks as its main purpose is to remove stubborn fat deposit resistant to diet and exercise. Don't waste your money on lotions or cremes touting removal of tretch marks or lasers.
