This is the most requested cosmetic surgery by MEN
The Spanish Society of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery (Secpre) has reported that the number of men undergoing cosmetic plastic surgery continues to grow. .
According to Daniel Marín de la Cruz, a specialist in plastic, aesthetic and reconstructive surgery, the main age at which men undergo cosmetic surgery is 40, which is the average age at which the first signs of aging appear and when, economically, the male patient is more well-off .
Regarding cosmetic procedures, according to de la Cruz, it's not common for men to ask to look like a "famous face," but rather to improve their existing face or features.
Currently, cosmetic surgeries related to the breast, such as liposuction and rhinoplasty, are some of the most requested procedures among women, according to reports from the Ministry of Public Health (Secpre) in recent years. However, blepharoplasty, a surgical procedure that aims to correct excess skin and/or fat in the eyelids, both upper and lower, ranks first in cosmetic surgery requests in men. .
Joan Fontdevila, president of the Secpre, details that " It's a surgery that, in terms of plastic surgery, is easy to perform, with results that are usually very satisfactory and with few complications. This greatly encourages patients to have it done. ", describes Fontdevila.

What is the blepharoplasty procedure?According to Fontdevila, the first thing that should be evaluated in the patient's eyelid is whether the problem is in the upper or lower eyelid or in both , because "there are people who only have excess skin on top, but they do not have bags, [...] there are patients who with age have excess skin on top and also have bags above and below", he also details that when talking about "bags", he refers to The eye is surrounded by fat and, with age, it is normal for it to protrude and become noticeable, hanging around the eyes. This is an aspect that surgery treats, as it consists of reducing this fat so that the "bags" are not visible. .
Blepharoplasty is usually performed under local anesthesia or sedation, but it is an outpatient procedure, so the patient goes home the same day . It's not a surgery that's usually painful. You'll feel a slight burning sensation upon waking, but it doesn't limit you. For example, the next day, you can go out wearing sunglasses and lead a normal life, except for lifting heavy weights or exerting yourself. ", he explains.
One piece of advice Joan Fontdevila offers before undergoing blepharoplasty is to plan the date appropriately, as it is not advisable to undergo this procedure if you have important social or work plans: " The skin of the eyelid is very thin and bruises are easily expressed. ". The expert recommends at least three weeks' margin before surgery.
