Losing weight, old stretch marks becoming more visible

[mbuczkowski 272]

I'm almost 6 weeks post op and am losing weight. I am still putting Vitamin E on the incisions and I am noticing that my old stretch marks are becoming more visible and the skin is kind of puckering or creating crevasses along the lines. Hard to describe. Anyone else?

Yup! Welcome to the world of loose skin. I can tell you they do lighten again, but yes, this is normal and expected. For me seemed to be more visible when I first started loosing weight. Now, my skin just looks permanently puckered on my stomach.

A Tummy Tuck can improve this. I've chosen not to have plastic surgery because I still want to have children so I want to keep the "extra room" I currently have.
