For years, fans looked on as Michael Jackson radically transformed his appearance. But despite his obviously altered look, the singer only ever admitted to two nose jobs – and blamed his progressively paler skin on the condition vitiligo.
In fact, says a Los Angeles surgeon who shared a practice with one of Jackson’s surgeons, the King of Pop – who died of cardiac arrest June 25 – was a frequent customer.
“He had multiple surgeries,” says Dr. Wallace Goodstein, who worked beside Jackson’s surgeon in the 1990s. “He came in approximately every two months. It was about 10 to 12 surgeries in two years, while I was there.”
As for the specifics, says Goodstein, Jackson “had multiple nose jobs, cheek implants and he had a cleft put in his chin. He had eyelid surgery … You name it he had it.” Goodstein also opines that Jackson underwent operations that he never should have: “He had so many things that were inappropriate.”
Like many patients, Jackson sought to hide his cosmetic surgery from the public, says another source with knowledge of the situation. “Michael Jackson always wanted to do these operations in a clandestine manner,” says the source. “They were done in the evening when personnel had to come in so no one else in the office could see him going in or out.”
Eventually, the surgeries took a toll on his face. “His nose became so small because he was operated on repeatedly,” says the source. “He has barely anything left for a nose.”
