This is also the reason why scars can form. They affect not only women after pregnancy, but also teenagers that suddenly grew up during the summer, athletes who are very physically active, bodybuilders who gain and lose weight, people taking steroids, people who’ve lost weight rapidly, people who’ve gained weight rapidly, people who’ve undergone breast enlargement surgery, people with thin skin, people who have a genetic predisposition, people with hormonal failure.
