Women undergo several changes around their bellies during pregnancy that are undesirable. When the tummy expands to accommodate a growing baby, several unwanted changes are observed. First, the muscles covering the belly and overlying the internal organs expand and stretch around the baby. Following multiple pregnancies, the muscles may fail to shrink back to their pre-pregnancy state. This results in a bloated look that persists despite moms returning to their pre-pregnancy weight. In addition, women may notice stretch marks that extend up to and even around the belly button. Fortunately, moms who have had 1 or 2 pregnancies only and who have not gained excessive weight, may avoid the permanent stretching of the muscles and stretch marks extending above the belly button; a Mini tummy tuck is ideal for these moms who demonstrate minimal to moderate post-partum changes.
