Why Did I Get New Stretch Marks After Tummy Tuck?

July 9, 2010
Asked By:newtummy in rochester

I had a tummy tuck done 10 weeks ago. About week 3 I discovered I was getting a lot of NEW stretch marks. When I asked the surgeon about it he could not explain why. Is this acceptable to have all these new stretch marks after paying for a tummy tuck?
