I have indented stretch marks that are visible when I raise my arms on the sides of my breast on the upper pole near my both of my arms. Is there a way to get rid of the indentation and make it smooth, I'm only 21 and its supper depressing. I use to be 108 pounds 5 years ago and my weight went up and down until two years ago I was 145 and my weight went up and down until it go to 176 now Im 168 and they bother me alot

    Most people have stretch marks. I've been wearing a bra since I was 8, gone all the way up to an F while nursing my twins and am creeping back down again. It's nothing to be ashamed of or embarrassed about. They're just a feature of your topography. Much like any other feature, moles, hair, freckles, cellulite, etc. There was a website that was devoted to showing pictures of various normal breasts, you might want to get an idea of what's 'normal' before you beat yourself up too much!

    I have the same thing! I am 25 years old. Don't have children. I got the stretch marks from losing weight. I dont like it either but its something I just have to live with. Unless you have lots of money and can go get some kind of treatment to make them less visible then im sorry you have to live with it. Accept your body. Stretch marks aren't that big a deal I say they are my battle scars from my weight loss. :)

    Lots of teenagers get stretch marks all over the place during puberty due to the fast growth. If you could see all your friends naked and carefree (which I doubt will ever happen) you'd see that more people have something somewhere than don't.

    The thing that is in the way of this reality is the magazines and corrected images we all see. Those are made for the purposes of selling things. They are not made for the purposes of reality. Even "reality" shows are not reality in that strictest sense.

    Stretch marks are no big deal. . Don't worry 'bout it and certainly don't be depressed about it.

    My first stretch marks came from growing fast (up not out)
    2nd set from being pregnant

    Eh...not a biggy they fade.

    I got those stretch marks just from growing breasts. It's not that big of a deal. I know it feels like it mars the beauty of them, but trust me. There is no one anywhere that would not appreciate them if they saw them. :wink:

    Barring them being removed by laser (however THAT'S done), nope. Part of the aging process, honey.

    Be glad they're on your boobs and not on your arms. :grumble:

    trust me i know how damaging it can be to your self confidence. But truly nearly everyone has them. I first got stretch marks on my thighs in 5th grade during a growth spurt & weight gain. I went from a short, thin & gangly 4th grader to a normal-sized 6th grader (still on the thin side at 100 lbs) but my skin simply doesn't stretch!

    Or both. So annoying.

    But really, I don't pay attention to them that often. More like an "Oh yeah, those are there" and then just move on.

    Thanks for the replys! I was okay with them until they became deep grooves in my skin and look wrinkle like, anyone else get this?

    You don't get stretch marks from losing weight. You get them when your skin expands rapidly. STRETCH. Sometimes they become more visible when you lose weight.

    They don't go away, but they fade over time.

    Don't worry about it. Time will diminish them, and the older you get, the more crap you'll have to worry about . . . you won't even think twice about them.

    I have them on my boons, stomach, waist/hips/muffin top, thighs and calves, it sucks, but they are there and not going. Aside from toning and helping them be less visible that way, I've got them for life.

    I have size B boobs and have stretch marks. I also have them on my hips, legs and butt. I've also never been severely overweight, nor have I had children.

    It is what it is, and it's part of me. Learn to love them, they're not going away! I don't even notice them anymore, to be honest!
    Mostly everyone has them, it's nothing to be embarrassed or ashamed of.

    I see naked people all day long. Most people have stretch marks somewhere.

    Thanks again I actually think it was from wearing a ill fitting bra. The worst part is they are indented or dimpled looking. Still very sad as I use to be so toned and fit. Only 21
