Michael Jackson's obsession with his nose that led him to undergo plastic surgery nearly a hundred times

Michael Jackson had his nose done for the first time wanting something different. In the end and after almost a hundred procedures, the singer was desperately trying to repair the damage caused by failed operations and injections. Some friends say that Jackson was inspired by Diana Ross, others that he just wanted to erase all resemblance to his hated father.

Of course, he was always determined to deny the obvious and declared that he had never had surgery on his face. The most he recognized was that he had touched his nose to "breathe better" and reach "higher notes", but only "I have had surgery twice."

Coinciding with his fifth solo album, Off the Wall (1979), the star undergoes his first rhinoplasty, but he was embarrassed to admit that he wanted a smaller nose. In the media, he said that he had had an operation after breaking it during a dance rehearsal. Version that in 2015 contradicts his older sister, La Toya: "It's too big I want to remake my nose, what do you think?", The singer asked his sister.

However, Michael was not satisfied with this result: Dr. Steven Hoefflin, who did a second job to correct the original operation, said that the singer had difficulty breathing and that he "needed more work."

Jackson is still dissatisfied with his napia and in 1984 he undergoes surgery again and in 1991 his nostrils appear triangular after a fourth or fifth rhinoplasty. Apparently in 1992 he was seen using a nasal prosthesis to try to fix the failed results of his latest surgeries.

Wanna see what Michael Jackson might have looked like if he'd never had any plastic surgery?

To prevent nasal fluid from entering his mouth, he was forced in 2002 to always wear a flesh-colored tape. Surgeon Pamela Lipkin assures that the reason could be because "a graft or an implant had come out causing a hole in the skin."

The singer's traumas with his nose came from childhood when his father, Josep Jackson, humiliated him by saying that he had a big nose.
