NCT ID NCT06787924

Summary

This study tested whether taking collagen supplements could improve skin healing and scar appearance after weight loss or tummy tuck surgery. Researchers gave 102 patients either collagen pills or a placebo for several weeks before their operation. They then measured collagen levels in skin samples taken during surgery and assessed scar quality to see if the supplements made a difference.
