It appears that you would be a candidate for a tummy tuck

Hello, Thank you for the question and photos. I do not know what the collagen capsules entail but I would recommend saving your money. You do have abdominal skin and soft tissue laxity that can be corrected by a tummy tuck. You will also likely benefit from additional liposuction of the abdomen and flanks at the same time and it will something for you to consider. All the best, Dr Remus Repta

TUMMY TUCK IS OKAY AT YOUR AGE AND BEFORE MARRIAGE

I would not bother with any oral supplements or creams. They don't work. You are right, you don't see many photos of men on websites. Mine has three examples, including a 20-year-old with a similar appearance to yours. I have attached a link to this page of my website.

Tummy Tuck Surgery Candidate?

Thank you for your questions and pictures. From the photos, it looks like you would be a good candidate for tummy tuck surgery. I ask patients to reach a long term stable weight (if you are not already there) for the best results.Extension of the excision and/or liposuction surgery of the the back area may be necessary to achieve your goals. I would recommend visiting with well experienced, board certified plastic surgeons who can discuss the surgical options as well as the... more
