A surgeon confirmed that Michael Jackson underwent numerous surgical treatments that left him with very little nose, although the paleness of his skin was due to an illness that forced him to cover himself with makeup, People magazine published today.
Dr. Wallace Goodstein, who assisted during the 90s in the operations of the "king of pop", assured that the artist visited the clinic "approximately once every two months and had between 10 and 12 surgeries" at the time. in which the doctor was there.
"He did a lot of things that were inappropriate," said Goodstein, who noted that the singer underwent "multiple nose jobs, cheek implants and had a cleft in his chin, also eyelid surgery ... say it. you say he did it ".
According to the testimony of this doctor, Jackson always went to the aesthetic clinic "clandestinely" and at the end of the day to avoid being seen when he came in and out.
The operations ended, the surgeon said, for leaving him with very little nose and that was when the artist went to the dermatologist Arnold Klein, who has subsequently been attributed the paternity of the singer's two oldest children, to regain a more normal appearance of his face .
"I rebuilt it (the nose) ... using fillers," Klein said July 8 in an interview on CNN.
"I used hyaluronic acid (liquid that is found naturally in the vitreous humor of the eye, for example) and it worked very well. It was an arduous process because you don't want to put too much in. You have to do it exactly so that you can circulate the material and be perfectly smooth, "stated Klein.
"It started to look like I had a normal nose again. That was what I wanted, to regain the breathing tubes, because there was a total collapse of the cartilage," added the dermatologist.
Klein insisted that the paleness of Jackson's skin was due to a disease called vitiligo, which consists of an irregular discoloration of the epidermis, which contradicts the popular belief that the artist wanted to appear white.
In the case of the "king of pop", this problem was "so severe that the best way to treat it was with creams that lightened the dark areas that were left on his skin to fully equalize the pigmentation," said Klein.
"That was ultimately the decision that had to be. He would have to wear a very heavy makeup on stage, which would be ridiculous and he could never go out in public without looking terribly peculiar," confessed the doctor.
Klein is one of the doctors whose relationship with Jackson is being investigated by the Los Angeles police to clarify the reasons for the singer's death, which occurred on June 25.
