The recognized king of pop, Michael Jackson is famous not only for his achievements in show business, but also for his love of changing his appearance. There is still debate about how many plastic surgeries the singer underwent.
Why Michael Jackson did surgery
According to psychologists, the famous singer was not just fond of changing his appearance. He probably suffered from a special mental disorder - body dysmorphic disorder. With this disease, a person is very worried about the slightest physical disabilities. Dissatisfaction with one's appearance can be expressed in depression, masochism, and even suicide attempts.
According to Jackson himself, his father often mocked him and his brothers. He called them names, beat them, and mocked them for their flaws in appearance. Children's complexes could have generated a craving for external changes in the singer. By the way, according to some reports, contrary to popular rumors, Jackson did not perform skin whitening operations. He simply suffered from the disease of vitiligo, which manifests itself in the appearance of white spots on the skin.
The singer also had lupus, the external manifestations of which are a rash on the face. To get rid of diseases, Jackson took a variety of medications that cause skin lightening. In addition, he constantly used light makeup to mask the spots.
Jackson's plastic surgery
The singer underwent his first operation in 1979. She was not associated with a desire to change his appearance - it was just that Jackson failed to perform a dance trick and broke his nose. The operation was not very successful, and soon Michael went to the surgeon again. During the second operation, he decided to change the shape of the nose, making it more refined. This was followed by an operation that gave the singer a piquant dimple on his chin. Presumably, Jackson also changed the shape of the eyelids.
He was also fond of non-surgical changes in appearance - various injections, lip and eyebrow tattooing, laser therapy, skin resurfacing, etc. Information about the operations was carefully hidden, but Jackson's changes in appearance could not go unnoticed. However, there is no sufficient evidence of other surgical interventions. A much larger role in changing the appearance of the pop king was played by his lifestyle, drug addiction and noticeable exhaustion.
Further changes in appearance
In the last years of his life, Jackson has changed markedly. He rehearsed a lot and hardly ate. Because of this, he weighed about 50 kg with a height of 175 cm. The singer's health deteriorated after he was accused of child molestation. Jackson went through a lot of stress, which he fought with the help of analgesics, antidepressants and tranquilizers.
All this gave serious side effects - exhaustion, hair loss, muscle atrophy. Jackson often appeared in public in a wheelchair, wearing dark glasses and a wig. But these changes in appearance were no longer associated with operations, but with the way of life.
