Will I get new stretch marks post TT? How can I avoid it?

February 16, 2016
Asked By:Doesn'tMatter in Greenville, SC

So I'm having a full tummy tuck with muscle repair in about a month? Should I start using bio oil (to improve skin texture) now? I'm very worried of new stretch marks after the procedure and want to do everything I possibly can to avoid them. The ones I have right now are a huge motivation for the surgery in the first place.
