Will Tummy Tuck Remove Stretch Marks Above the Belly Button?

Asked By:bri69 in hoboken.nj

i have always had a protruding belly, however the skin is not loose. What bothers me the most and the reason for wanting a tummy tuck is the numerous amount of stretch marks which reaches above the belly button, i know its difficult but could a little more nip tucking remove ALL of the stretch marks, other than below the belly button? i need to lose about 90 pounds before getting my tummy tuck but as you can see my stretch marks are VERY SEVERE, this bugs me so much because i want to get rid of all of them, but i know that only below the belly button can be removed... will a tummy tuck make them look better at least? I'm only 21 years old. And they are pretty new.
