During pregnancy I had gained weight a little too rapidly and developed stretch marks on my “love handles”. I’m wondering is there any way I can possibly tuck them or have them surgically cut out and have a smaller area of scarring? Would the scar be bigger and “worse” than my stretch marks? I was hoping there could possibly be a way to get it to look as tiny as a Lipo scar. Thank you!!
