I got none at all on my belly but my bum and thighs look like a zebra and my boobs went from a 12C to a 14E so they are covered to.

I mainly used moisturiser to stop the itching that you get, I dont believe like alot of people that it will stop them but it may reduce them just the littleist bit.

Because they are scar tissue they will start off red and turn a whitish silver colour once they are healed. Try bio-oil or pure vitamin e oil and the sun will also help fade them (obvisouly not with the oils on, sunblock off course)
