I had a standard tummy tuck three weeks ago. I know three weeks is very early to judge my results. I was told at my consult that the very few little stretch marks I had above my belly button would be down by my pubic line. I have a great deal of stretch marks left between my belly button and incision line. They are on each side and come up almost to my belly button. I see so many photos of women on here that look like all or most of their stretch marks are gone after surgery.
