Who do you see about stretch marks - a dermatologist or plastic surgeon?

Asked By:phillD75 in Rapid City, SD

I have some on my abdomen. I wanna get Fraxel laser treatment on it because I don't want the scar a tummy tuck does. I got them when I gained like 20-30lbs in 3 months my freshman year. I hate them and they make me depressed so I wanna do whatever it takes. So what type of doctor should I see to get them checked out and possibly decide my next plan of action
