Are you a mom looking to regain your pre-baby body? If so, then you may have heard of the two surgical cosmetic procedures known as a mummy makeover and a lower body lift. These treatments are often confused, as they both involve the removal of excess body fat and skin, and they’re used to restore the shape and tone of the body. If you’re specifically interested in targeting your abdomen and breasts, you may want to prepare for a mummy makeover. But if you’re looking to address loose skin and excess fat in your lower body, a lower-body lift may be a better option for you. It’s important to consider the differences between the two procedures before deciding which is best for achieving your desired results.

What is a Mummy Makeover?

A mummy makeover is a combination of procedures that are tailored to each individual patient. These procedures are usually a breast augmentation or lift, a tummy tuck, liposuction, labiaplasty, and a butt lift. The mummy makeover is ideal for moms looking to restore their pre-baby body shape, tone, and size, especially in their abdomen, thighs, and breasts.

A mummy makeover helps to lift, firm and contour your whole body after babies.

What is a Lower Body Lift?

A lower body lift, on the other hand, is a surgical procedure that tightens the skin and underlying muscles in the lower abdomen, buttocks, hips, and thighs. It removes excess fat and skin, and repairs and reshapes the body to improve the lower body’s shape and contour. This treatment is generally for mothers who are looking to reduce sagging in their lower body, restore the body’s natural contours, and improve their overall figure.
