My stretch marks are 1" wide and my belly hangs...

McstylesNovember 14, 2013

WORTH IT$9,200

My stretch marks are 1" wide and my belly hangs now since my 2 children ages 9 and 7. My son was 9 lbs!
I've always since I hit puberty had that little "ponch" but now... As much as I exercise and eat good... It's not going away!! This is my last resort... I paid $3000 for a laser thing I'll have to look up again and let you know what it was but it didn't work! I've also tried "it works" and that's not cutting it either. So... "Cutting it" is my only option. I am 42 yrs old and single now. Let me tell you I am so self conscious of my tummy it is hard to date!
I'm also experiencing low back hip pain that I think it's because of my belly. Am I right?
Let me know what you think :)

My stretch marks are worse than that Hun! So not alone.. It is horrible having a stretched abdomen and it does hinder our confidence.. How much you weighing Hun? Emma

I have really bad stretch marks too. But my surgeon showed me where he was cutting, and it looks like 99% of them will be removed with all the skin !! I got teary eyed when he told me that. Cant you imagine...a flat belly AND no stretch marks !! IM so excited at the mental freedom that will give us !!

I totally agree cutting it is the only option. I hear ya on the big babies! Mine were 9.14, 10.07, and 11.02! You just can't "lose" the skin after that. Not sure about the lower back pain, i never experienced that because of the skin, but could be possible...best of luck!

Ultrashape

McstylesNovember 15, 2013

I looked up what I had done last summer. It was called ultrashape. I had to go once every 2 weeks 6 times and the appt was 2 hours long....it is a body sculpting using ultrasound and radio frequency and supposed to melt away fat deposits as well as tighten and tone. She said I would need 3 more times to see results. So basically I would be spending MORE than a tummy tuck procedure.

I see a "slight" difference but not $3000 worth! :(
If I had seen a significant difference I would have continued.
