I have a friend who is using Mederma for stretch marks and is having great
results. It's also not very expensive ($30.00 per 50g. tube)

Personally - I have to say that the less attractive feature would be skin
flab. my reasoning - purely because my legs are covered in stretch
marks,
but other than my belly pouch and (IMO) fat thighs, I don't have skin
flab.
So, I have to say stretch marks are more attractive - otherwise I'd be
SOL.


If you find a cure for stretch marks, please let me know. That is one
thing
that I'd love to get rid of. And I haven't heard of any truely successful
treatment for them. The creams and whatnots really don't help. Maybe
retin-A will help a little bit, but that's prescription strength from a
dermatologist, not the OTC variety. And I'm not sure how much it really
would help. Stretch marks appear to be spots where the skin has lost its
elasticity. And even with losing weight they appear diminished because
they aren't stretched out, but they are still there.

Ok this is going to sound really shallow.. but I am curious to what
others think.

Which is less physically attractive? Stretch marks or skin/flab? Also,
if I had a tummy tuck when all weightloss is said and done, could they
do anything about the stretchmarks? Because I honestly don't think I
will ever get rid of the flab totally, even as much as I exercise. Maybe
I wont need a tuck?
