Ricky Martin Reportedly Didn’t Have Any Major Face Surgeries

Ricky Martin turned heads during his surprise Super Bowl halftime appearance, with many fans and commentators remarking that he looked surprisingly youthful for his age.

Dr Sean McNally, a board-certified plastic surgeon in Portland, Oregon, believes that Martin did have some work done, but it’s not likely something major.

Speaking with the Daily Mailthe medical expert ruled out surgeries that involve a lift to a part of the face, as well as blepharoplasty. The latter is a surgery that involves the doctor cutting into the creases of the eyelids to trim loose skin and muscle and remove excess fat.

Regarding the facial work Martin may have had done, McNally suggested that the singer might have used fillers or fat grafting to achieve better midface shape and volume.

Both procedures are known to be minimally invasive and are commonly used to add volume, alter facial contours, and fill in wrinkled areas.

The expert also noted that the Livin’ La Vida Loca artist displayed significantly improved “skin tone and texture.”

He added that this enhancement may also be the result of filler, particularly in the midface or jawline.

McNally went on to note that a strong skincare regimen likely played a role as well, along with the possible use of laser treatments to help prevent hyperpigmentation.

“The most likely culprits would be a skin care regimen that utilizes hydroquinone and lighter resurfacing lasers like Moxi or erbium as they’re more appropriate for difficult and reactive skin types,” he continued.
