While liposuction is primarily intended to remove excess fat, it may have a minimal effect on improving the appearance of stretch marks, but it is important to note that the primary goal of liposuction is contouring and fat removal rather than specifically addressing stretch marks, and alternative treatments like laser therapy or microneedling may be more effective in reducing their appearance.
