Question

Does losing weight usually improve or worsen the appearance of stretch marks?

Answer 1

My wife changed weight up and down a few times - it had no effect on her stretch marks.  They changed, but they were still visible, no matter what her weight.  (Why worry about them - most guys don't care about them.)

Answer 2

makes them worst. if you lose weight and tone at the same time im guessing it would make them better.

Answer 3

Answer 4

I think it gets worse if you loose weight fast.

Answer 5

Answer 6

It improves them. Over time they begin to fade.

Answer 7

Fresh stretch marks appear initially as red lines and then slowly fade to a pale white color over the course of several months. Below is the link regarding Stretch Marks.

Answer 8

It improves them. If you gain weight, the stretch marks will become redder, and redder ...

If you lose weight, they are less noticeable because they turn white, and then eventually, heal up and fade out.

If you rub Cocoa Butter on them while losing weight, they will completely disappear.

Also, to prevent future stretch marks, you can use Cocoa Butter. It's very nice for women who are in the early stages of pregnancy and don't want belly stretch marks.

Answer 9

it worsens them, because the weight loss makes them a bit wrinkly, more so if you loose lots of weight. i guess you have to choose, smooth stretch marks, and a bit more weight, or wrinkly stretch marks and thinner. ain't life fair?
