Is a mommy tuck the same as a mommy makeover?

A mommy makeover can refer to breast surgery and tummy surgery on women who have had children. Beyond that the definitions are pretty vague.
Mommy makeovers have had a resurgence in the last few years and have benefited women greatly.

The term “Mommy Tuck” is a term that I’ve not heard
before.It probably describes the tummy
tuck portion of the mommy makeover, but there is no way to know for sure.Unfortunately,
plastic surgeons occasionally rename commonly performed procedures for
marketing purposes.This practice makes
the procedure sound unique.It also
gives the impression that the surgeon is offering something that no one else
offers.

Hi there-
I have never heard the term "Mommy Tuck", but can only conclude that it indeed does refer to a Mommy Makeover procedure.
For everything you would want to learn about the Mommy Makeover options and how it might help you, please follow the link below:

A mommy tuck is just a tummy tuck. A mommy make over is a tummy tuck and a breast lift. However, these are just catchy names. You really need to be evaluated by a plastic surgeon and determine which procedures are best for you. One size does not fit all.

SEE VIDEO BELOW: A mommy tuck is simply a tummy tuck performed following pregnancy. A mommy makeover is a tummy tuck performed in combination with a breast enhancement procedure (lift or augmentation)

Thank you for your question.

I have not heard of "Mommy Tuck"?   Probably something that includes a tummy tuck. 

Make sure you do your research and understand what procedure you are looking into.

Good Luck!

 

Hello,

There is no operation called a "mommy tuck" at least not in any textbook. Mommy makeover surgery is composed of different procedures in different mommies. You are dealing with a marketing term. Ask the practice that uses it what they mean.

I have never heard of a mommy tuck. It is probably some form of a tummy tuck that is being branded for marketing purposes.

A mommy makeover is a combination of abdominal and breast surgery. As each woman is unique, so is each mommy makeover. In our practice we have a great deal of patience that choose to perform the surgeries at the same time. Your best bet is to schedule a consultation with an experienced plastic surgeon who has experience doing the surgeries at the same time. A board-certified plastic surgeon will help you determine whether you need just a simple breast augmentation or a simple breast lift or breast lift with implants. The plastic surgeon will also evaluate your abdomen and help you decide if your aesthetic goals will best be met by liposuction, mini tummy tuck, or a full tummy tuck

When "Abdominoplasty" is not recognized, much less understood, when "Tummy Tuck" will not do because it sounds, oh-so common and ordinary and "Mommy Make-Over" sounds a bit involved and extreme, spin-meisters and marketing wonks came up with "Mommy Tuck" for a Tummy Tuck.
This marketing name especially took off after STAR magazine reported that Angelina Jolie allegedly told selected friends that she had this procedure in Europe after the births of her latest twins. To quote : "“She doesn’t like to talk about it or admit it, but Angie told some friends that she had a ‘mommy tuck,’ ” says a family friend. “She likes the way that sounds better than tummy tuck.”"
Mommy Tuck = Tummy Tuck / Abdominoplasty performed a short while after a pregnancy.
