They won't go away even if she gets down to pre-baby weight

Best answer.

My wife birthed 3 children, did not use lotion on her belly, and has no stretch marks. Genetics surely plays a major role here.

Treatment
While treatments may help stretch marks fade, they will not completely remove them. Remember to treat stretch marks as early as possible for the best results. In the later stages, stretch marks are much more challenging to reduce.
Tretinoin cream – Use if the stretch marks are only a few months old (still red or pink). Tretinoin works to help rebuild collagen, making the striae look more like your normal skin.
Microdermabrasion – This involves a hand-held device that blows crystals onto the skin. The crystals help exfoliate the skin while the tiny vacuum removes the crystals and skin cells. This method promotes the growth of new, more elastic skin.
Laser therapy – By using intense wavelengths of light, laser therapy stimulates the growth of collagen and elastin production in your skin.
Glycolic acid – This is a type of fruit acid used in chemical peels that can be applied at home or by a dermatologist.
Vitamin C – Certain formulations and supplements of vitamin C may also increase collagen production.
