Will Thermage work on loose skin and stretch marks on the abdomen?

I have significant stretch marks and loose skin after losing 81 lbs. I am 5'3" and currently 124 lbs and looking to tighten up the loose skin on my abdomen. Will Thermage give me the results I'm looking for?

I would tell you not to waste your money on Thermage. It sounds like your best option is abdominoplasty (tummy tuck). The various skin tightening techniques may be slightly beneficial, but if you have
significant laxity with the stretch marks, you will do best with surgery.
