The Only Way Is Essex legend Mario Falcone has proudly shown off the results of his eyelid surgery, admitting he had been "very conscious" of his appearance. Reality TV star Mario, 36, had blepharoplasty, which is an operation to remove excess skin from the eyelids, something he jokingly blamed on tiredness from being a dad. He shared photos of 13 days of recovery after the surgery with his Instagram followers, revealing the stunning before and after shots of the procedure.
