Where do stretch marks appear?
Stretch marks usually appear on the areas of the body which store the most fat, such as the tummy, legs, upper arms, hips, buttocks, thighs and breasts.
How common are stretch marks?
Stretch marks are very common, particularly in women. It is thought around 90% of pregnant women develop stretch marks.
Are stretch marks permanent?
How long your stretch marks will last really depends on the severity of the stretch marks and whether you are genetically predisposed to scarring. For most people, stretch marks fade to a faint white mark over the years and arenāt particularly noticeable. For others, they may stay quite visible.
