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 operated on his face. The most he ever admitted was that he had touched his nose to "breathe better" and achieve "higher notes", but he only "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. Facing the media, he said that he had surgery after breaking it during a dance rehearsal. Version that in 2015 contradicts his older sister, La Toya: "It's too big, I want to redo my nose, what do you think?" The singer asked his sister.
However, Michael was not satisfied with this result: Dr. Steven Hoefflin, who performed a second job to correct the original operation, said that the singer had difficulty breathing and that he "needed more work".
Jackson is still unhappy with his nose and in 1984 he goes under the knife again and in 1991 his nostrils have a triangular appearance 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 last interventions.
In 2002, to prevent the nasal fluid from passing into his mouth, he was forced to always use a flesh-colored plaster. Surgeon Pamela Lipkin assures that the reason could be that "a graft or an implant had come out causing a hole in the skin."
The singer's traumas with his nose came from his childhood when his father, Josep Jackson, humiliated him by saying that he had a big nose.
