Can you get stretch marks after a breast lift? I had a lollipop lift on my breasts yesterday.

I am also really prone to stretch marks and I already had a lot of them before the surgery. Do you think I will have stretch marks after my lift? My skin was kind of loose before the surgery.

However, I make it very clear to the patient that if there are any issues, they need to come back and see me sooner. You...
