My stretch marks are raised and I have them for a about a year now (On abs and my hips (I'm not concerned about the stretch marks on my arms and shoulders)). I have 4 large ones on the left side of my abs (up 10cm in size and 0.6mm in width) and smaller ones on the right side of my abs. Is it possible to eliminate stretch marks by doing proper exercise for the skin to shrink, eliminating the stretch marks? Because you can see all these people after weight loss who are all with flabby skin and then they all say that they have stretch marks ''because of weight loss'', though I think that with proper dieting and skin care, you can get your skin back to shape to accommodate to your new body. What do you say about this ''myth'' and theory?
Cheers, James.

Although I have heard a few people say that their marks disappear, it seems that for most people they do not. Your skin will accomidate your body the best it can, but most people's skin is very poor at breaking down scar tissue.
