Michael Jackson lived the life of a true legend of show business, in which there were success, and personal tragedies, and high-profile scandals. But it’s still difficult to understand why the singer with such perseverance changed his appearance, already being at the top of the musical Olympus. How many operations did Michael Jackson do and how did it all end?
Childhood, or the alleged source of problems
Michael Jackson was one of the first among public people who “got hooked” on plastic surgery and changed his appearance beyond recognition. Psychologists argue that such a craving for plastic can only be explained by a strong inferiority complex. But where did the pop king, the favorite of the public, get these complexes?
Before the operation, Michael Jackson lived some part of his life, and it was not the best, according to him. From childhood, he, along with his brothers, did not know rest, because his father loaded them with work to the maximum. When something did not work out, he rolled down to assault and insults. Joseph Jackson's favorite curse on Michael is the "big nose." It is easy to guess why the singer subsequently underwent several rhinoplasty operations.
Nevertheless, for a long time it was impossible to explain Jackson's craving for self-flagellation and operations, because the pop king admitted his childhood adversities only at 29 years old.
Health problems
Michael Jackson had serious health problems before and after surgery. From about 20 years old, his skin began to lighten, and the media announced that he bleaches the skin. But according to some reports, Jackson was diagnosed with vitiligo.
Vitiligo is a skin disease, as a result of which the coloring pigment disappears from some areas of the skin. In addition, the singer got lupus, so tons of cosmetics on his face were called to hide skin defects. It is the presence of these diseases that some pop king biographers explain the “magical” lightening of the singer’s skin.
However, this statement can be called into question. Vitiligo partially lightens the skin, and Jackson's skin looked extremely monotonous. Journalists continued to insist that before the operation, Michael Jackson also lightened the skin. The truth revealed after his death - an autopsy showed that Michael was indeed sick with vitiligo.
Michael Jackson: Plastic Surgery
But if the fact of
skin whitening has not been confirmed, then denying multiple plastic surgeries on the face would be at least stupid. The pop king actively performed in public and was photographed by journalists before and after the operation. Indeed, Michael Jackson repeatedly did plastic surgery - this is most eloquently indicated by photographs of different years.
One of Jackson's biographers - Taraborrelli - claims that for the first time under the knife of a plastic surgeon Michael had to lie down at the age of 15: during a rehearsal, he broke his nose and had to be restored. But the operation was unsuccessful, and the singer again resorted to plastic surgery. Jackson himself admitted this in his memoirs. But the singer claimed that this was the end of his experiments with plastic.
But his mother and close relatives in an interview innocently shared their experiences about Michael's dependence on plastic surgery. According to relatives, the singer underwent about 10 such operations.
Drug addiction
Before and after the operation, Michael Jackson continued to improve his body, but already through a strict diet. The singer lost 9 kilograms by the age of 20, and his work colleagues suspected that he had anorexia nervosa, as he suffered from constant dizziness.
Stress played a cruel joke with the singer - by the age of 30, he had impaired liver and kidney function, and there were attacks of panic attacks. Once, after such an attack, he was hospitalized. Contrary to rumors, no drug was found during hospitalization in the blood of the pop king.
However, painkillers and antidepressants still had to get hooked, especially after the scandal with child molestation. Against the background of these events, Michael not only had problems with sleep, but also with memory - he forgot the simplest things.
Addiction to painkillers and sedatives ultimately led to the death of the singer. He himself (or someone at his request) administered a lethal dose of Propofol. Since the autopsy confirmed that the king’s heart and other organs were in perfect order, an overdose of a dangerous drug remained the official cause of the singer’s death.
It turns out that before the operation and after the operation, Michael Jackson was equally unhappy. He suffered a lot of surgical manipulations, but, unfortunately, he remained a hostage to his childhood fears and stellar lifestyle.
