Michael once tipped the scale at 107 kilos. One day he looked in the mirror and decided he finally needed to make a change. “I was sick of hating myself, sick of having no confidence in anything in life, including girls. If I’d go out to dinner I’d put no effort in talking to anyone. I wasn’t happy with what I saw in the mirror.”
Michael cut out alcohol from his life and began to eat a lot cleaner. He also joined a gym and immediately fell in love with lifting weights, even getting himself a coach who specialised in bodybuilding. Michael dropped down to 80 kilos, but the excess skin around his stomach made it hard for him to actually see his incredible results.
He believed he needed to get rid of the skin if he ever hoped to actually compete in bodybuilding. “To get up on that stage, I need tight skin and to look good, and at this stage, I can’t do that. It’s hard to see what I’ve put in, and it’s hard to be happy.”
Michael decided to go to Bangkok because it was cheaper and his mum’s friend also had an Extended Tummy Tuck with CosMediTour. He wasn’t concerned when his Surgeon warned there would be substantial scarring. “I would rather have a scar, than the skin,” he said.
Michael’s procedure was featured in CosMediTour’s Operation Thailand TV Series.
Since undergoing surgery, he is now focused on fulfilling his bodybuilding dream and achieving the goals he had always hoped for.
