Daniel Martin, Meghan Markle’s makeup artist, has shared that he recently had plastic surgery to eliminate fat from his ‘puffy’ eyes as a 50th birthday present to himself.
The beauty professional, a close friend of the Duchess of Sussex, revealed on Instagram that he underwent plastic surgery to address the fat in his ‘puffy’ eyes, aiming to counteract the signs of aging.
Martin explained that he opted for the procedure as a gift to himself in honor of his approaching 50th birthday and also to challenge the stigma attached to men undergoing plastic surgery.
‘Happy Birthday to me! ‘I’m getting plastic surgery,’ he captioned the post, which documented his preparation for the procedure and saw him explaining the reasons behind his decision to go under the knife.
In a follow-up post shared to his Instagram Stories, Martin revealed that he has already had the surgery and that he was healing ‘incredibly well’ and he’s excited to share his journey and the results soon.
Martin went into more detail about the procedure itself, adding there’s a stigma surrounding men getting plastic surgery whether they’re ‘gays, straights [or] whatever’ – so he felt the need to be honest with his followers.
‘I’m gonna be completely transparent with you guys; right now I am turning 50 years old [and] I’m kind of freaking out,’ Martin said in the video, as he pointed to the skin under his eyes.
‘As a gift to myself, I’m going to have lower bleph (blepharoplasty) surgery done on my eyes.’
According to Martin, his puffy eyes have hindered his eyesight over the years, acknowledging that he’s been wearing glasses for about ten years and noting that his eyesight has also ‘completely changed.’
‘As I’ve [continued to wear glasses], I’ve realized how puffy my eyes look; and it’s because of aging and because of this fat deposit that’s underneath,’ he explained.
