What Are my Options For These Stretch Marks After Weight Loss?
I'm a 32yo male, set for an abdominoplasty at the end of July. I used to weigh 70 lbs more, but have been at my ideal weight for 10+ years. But I've had body issues all this time & I've intentionally covered up my body & tried not to think about it. Paying attention now, though, and I see that I have extra skin under my upper arms, near armpits. Stretch marks in the arm pits and inside of the arms, area itches. Can I do anything about this short of an arm lift? I don't have time for 2 surgeries.
