Years before the term "Mommy Makeover" became popular, Dr. Nachbar had been doing combined procedures to help
women whose bodies had been ravaged by pregnancy, especially multiple pregnancies. Because he was doing so many of these procedures,
he coined the term "Post-Baby Tune-Up". Later, on February 21, 2003, he applied for a trademark on that name,
and on February 3, 2004,
the US Patent and Trademark Office granted him that trademark.
In April 2004, Dr. Nachbar attended the annual ASAPS meeting in Vancouver
and happened to ride the airport bus with Patricia Anstett, a reporter for the Detroit Free Press, and explained the
Post Baby Tune-Up® procedure to her.
As reported by Word Spy,
her subsequent article about the Post-Baby Tune-Up® procedure in the Detroit Free Press on July 9, 2004 is the earliest citation of the term "Mommy Makeover" for plastic surgery.
Ms. Anstett was awarded the 2005 ASAPS Journalistic
Achievement Award in the Newspaper category for her article, which was picked up by papers around the world.
