Are you a good candidate for stretch mark treatment?
Who's a good fit for stretch mark treatment — and who should reconsider, wait, or pick a different procedure.
Good candidates for stretch mark treatment share a few things in common: realistic goals, stable health, and a clear understanding of what the procedure can and can't do.
You may be a good candidate if…
- You're in good general health and a non-smoker (or willing to quit).
- Your weight has been stable for at least 6 months.
- Your concern is specific and definable.
- You have time built in for the recovery your surgeon describes.
- You're emotionally stable and not deciding under acute stress.
You may want to wait or reconsider if…
- You have uncontrolled medical conditions or are pregnant/nursing.
- Your expectations don't match what real cases show.
- You're still actively losing or gaining weight.
- A loved one wants the procedure for you more than you do.
Your consultation will cover
- Your medical history, medications, and prior surgeries.
- A focused physical exam.
- Standardized photographs and often AI/morphing previews.
- Risks, alternatives, and realistic outcomes for your anatomy.
- Cost, financing, and surgical scheduling.
