Fully formed stretch marks can also be removed completely through a procedure known as abdominaplasty.

Though it is an expensive and drastic surgical procedure, it is most effective in completely removing stretch marks from the abdomen region. It is only a quick and temporary solution.

Laser therapy is another method that can help in getting rid of stretch marks. Though it is not as effective as abdominaplasty because it does not completely erase stretch marks from the skin surface, the results are quite dramatic. It is a less expensive but mostly less invasive solution for getting rid of stretch marks.
