Behind the Opium of Michael Jackson's Oplas to Ruin His Face
Michael Joseph Jackson or popularly known as Michael Jackson has a background that has remained a mystery throughout his life. As a singer with the nickname King of Pop, Michael Jackson continues to be the center of public attention.
The highlight on him is not only on his works, but he is also intensely the center of attention because of the many changes made to his body, especially the face.
The man who was born on August 29, 1958 started his career as a member of the group The Jackson 5, which was formed by his father, Joseph Jackson. The group contains five siblings including himself.
At the peak of The Jackson 5's fame, Michael Jackson actually stepped back and started his career as a solo singer. His first album 'Off The Wall' was quite successful in 1970. Until he managed to become the first black artist to appear on MTV. In fact, the television station previously only broadcast music from the white race.
As a child, Michael Jackson was a shy person. He prefers to be alone when his other siblings are having fun with their fans. With an underprivileged family background, as well as the violence he got from his father, little Michael had trauma that was carried over to adulthood.
Beginning of surgery
After the unprecedented success of 1983's "Thriller", Michael Jackson's metamorphosis has become more than just an artistic statement. In the video for the hit song, Michael Jackson turns from a human to a werewolf, then to a zombie and back to a human again. It was as if he was using the story to look back on the story of his past life and his future metamorphosis.
After releasing his fifth solo album, "Off the Wall" (1979), Michael Jackson had an accident on stage while singing while dancing, breaking his nose. It is believed that was when she had her first plastic surgery.
In a 2002 interview with ABC News, Michael Jackson denied he had had any plastic surgery (oplas) other than the nose.
"I didn't do other plastic surgery on my face. Only my nose. It helps me breathe better so I can reach higher notes," she said.
Dr Pamela Lipkin, a surgeon with a nose specialist says it is unlikely that a reshaped nose is better for singing. As a result, Michael Jackson's statement was considered dubious.
Michael Jackson's plastic surgery procedure was triggered by the insults his face received since childhood, even by his own father. His father used to call Michael Jackson 'big nose'. This is why she is so obsessed with doing plastic surgery on her nose that it has become so slim.
Some psychiatrists say that his obsession was due to bad childhood experiences. Michael Jackson is believed to have had several operations after that. Changes were seen in his jaw, cheekbones, lips and forehead.
Lipkin added and confirmed that Michael Jackson became addicted to plastic surgery.
"Addicted. In a sense he doesn't care how many operations he does. If he is not happy with how he looks (nose), he will continue to focus (surgery) on his nose. His nose is his obsession," he said.
Even the obsession that led to further surgery left Jackson barely ever having a nose on his face. Steven Haughlin, who also had plastic surgery on Michael Jackson until the late 1990s, said he just did what the singer asked him to do.
"I think he wants some of the parts that bother him to be made smaller, more sculpted. And (Michael) Jackson likes that, even doing more than I suggest," Haughlin said.
Another more extreme change was seen when he starred in his music video titled 'Black or White'. His dark skin color seemed to have turned brighter.
At the Oprah Winfrey show in 1993, Michael Jackson explained about the changes. At that time, he said that the discoloration of his skin was due to a disease called vitiligo. This is a disease that kills the pigment cells in the skin, causing people to change their skin color.
Initially, Michael Jackson only experienced it in a few areas, such as the hand that can be covered with a glove. But over time, the disease is claimed to continue to appear on the face, making him forced to wear glasses or masks.
Michael Jackson's death
The sudden death of the owner of the moonwalk dance movement at his home in Los Angeles on June 25, 2009 shocked the world. Even though at that time, he was preparing for his last concert titled 'This is It'.
But the tragic history of plastic surgery and Michael Jackson's health was finally revealed in his autopsy that year. As quoted from the Mirror, Michael Jackson was pronounced dead at the age of 50 due to an overdose of propofol, a surgical anesthetic used in the operating room.
Apart from that, there were many scars and stabs on his body. The scar is believed to have been caused by the scar from his surgery and the stab was from an injection of drugs.
Based on reports, the drugs he used to treat chronic insomnia. However, because it was not supervised by his doctor, it made him die. His doctor, Conrad Murray, was found guilty of accidental murder two years after Michael Jackson's death.
Meanwhile, in the autopsy, Michael is also known to have many traces of plastic surgery that he has undergone over the years. Like the two surgical scars behind the ears, on both sides of his nose, and on the base of the neck to the arms and wrists.
The doctor who performed the autopsy also concluded that Michael Jackson did not only perform plastic surgery, but also did a number of permanent cosmetic tattoos around his lips.
And vitilago, which he had previously confirmed as a discolored skin disease, was confirmed by one of the doctors involved in the autopsy, Christopher Rogers.
