Self-Esteem and Stretch Marks No matter what they say about beauty being only skin deep and that a preoccupation with one’s physical appearance is a sorry manifestation of exaggerated vanity, how one looks physically is very much a source of constant anxiety. And we’re not just talking teenagers. Nose lifts, breast reductions, lip enhancements, varicose vein treatments and bubbly botox fillers are rather commonplace these days. These “uplifting measures” have become common currency and are a frequent topic of conversation in office cafeterias and coffee shops. Even people waiting in plastic surgeons’ offices are no longer shy admitting what they’re there for, and are even eager to swap notes. So if noses and lips have to be repaired to restore one’s self esteem, why shouldn’t it be true for stretch marks? Yes, stretch marks – especially those you can’t hide under a swath of clothing, can cause anguish, and therefore threaten the very core of your personality - self-esteem. The reason why people react negatively to stretch marks is that they not only occur as a result of pregnancy, but can also appear on the skin without the “nine-month event.” A person can have stretch marks if her mother had them, or suddenly gained or lost weight. Stretch marks can also be caused by other factors such as medication, an accident, over exposure to the sun or other elements. A few individuals get them from excessive weight lifting. There is also another popular misconception about stretch marks: they not only appear on the abdomen, but can appear on the thighs, legs, arms, and in rare cases on the face. As it is well known, the skin is the largest organ of the human body so when it stretches, it can stretch in different places.
