Will a tummy tuck or an abdominoplasty remove stretch marks?
Stretch marks are caused when the underlying skin tissue is stretched to the point that it tears and causes minute scars in the skin. Stretch marks from pregnancy are often located in the lower abdomen, the area from which skin is removed in an abdominoplasty. Those stretch marks will certainly be removed along with the skin. Pulling the remaining skin tighter across the abdomen may help make any remaining stretch marks less noticeable.
