text: i have terrible stretch marks all over my body. how can i get rid of them? i am actually not that much overweight. my father actually has them, and his mother has them as well, so i figure they are genetic. any tips on how to get rid of them? i have tried creams (cocoa butter & mederma.. didn't work that well for me..) any other advice? ... (anything will help!!) i saw one of those surgery shows on tv  that stretch marks are really impossible to get rid of. they suck i have some myself from having babies. they can be reduced through having plastice surgery but no thanks
