When I finally lost the last 20 pounds, I thought I had it
made. I expected to be lean and healthy, attractive and
universally desirable. I was still in my early 20s, so I figured
that I had plenty of time as a young person to attract the
attention of the opposite sex. There was one thing, however,
that I had not figured on – stretch marks.
I tried everything that I could think of for stretch marks
removal, but nothing worked. There are all kinds of products for
removing stretch marks, so apparently it is a pretty common
problem. There are stretch mark removal creams, lotions,
potions, unctions, and anything else that you can name. There
are even herbal supplements out there that are supposed to aid
with stretch marks removal. Believe me, I tried everything. I
even tried the stuff that sounds pretty hokey. I was so
desperate to have the stretch marks removed, you see, that I
couldn't give up.
I guess to understand where I am coming from, you have to know
what a crushing blow the stretch marks were to me. I had never
been thin and beautiful, but I had always wanted to be. I didn't
want to have to deal with stretch marks removal. I figured that
when I was thin, it would be almost like starting over. It
seemed like quite a few people couldn't recognize me, so why did
I have those awful stretch marks to remind me of what I used to
be? If it was such a common problem, how come all of the stretch
marks removal products didn't work? I was getting desperate
quickly, and I needed a solution!
Finally, I started looking at surgical removal of stretch
marks. Surgical stretch marks removal may sound drastic to some
people, but I was almost ready to consider it. I don't really
understand how it works, and I'm not sure that I want to. The
image that I get in my head is of them cutting up my skin,
cutting out large pieces, and stitching the remaining bits back
together.
The parts with the stretch marks would be all gone, and the
rest of the skin would be knit a little bit tighter. It kind of
makes me cringe just to think about surgical stretch marks
removal. It seems so extreme, after all, and I don't see how all
my skin could take the strain. I don't really know what I am
going to do.
