Like many patients, Jackson sought to hide his cosmetic surgery from the public.

For years, fans looked on as Michael Jackson radically transformed his appearance. But despite his obviously altered look, the singer only ever admitted to two nose jobs – and blamed his progressively paler skin on the condition vitiligo.

In fact, says a Los Angeles surgeon who shared a practice with one of Jackson’s surgeons, the King of Pop – who died of cardiac arrest June 25 – was a frequent customer.

“He had multiple surgeries,” says Dr. Wallace Goodstein, who worked beside Jackson’s surgeon in the 1990s. “He came in approximately every two months. It was about 10 to 12 surgeries in two years, while I was there.”

As for the specifics, says Goodstein, Jackson “had multiple nose jobs, cheek implants and he had a cleft put in his chin. He had eyelid surgery … You name it he had it.” Goodstein also opines that Jackson underwent operations that he never should have: “He had so many things that were inappropriate.”

Clandestine Visits to Cheap Cosmetic Surgery

Like many patients, Jackson sought to hide his cosmetic surgery from the public, says another source with knowledge of the situation. “Michael Jackson always wanted to do these operations in a clandestine manner,” says the source. “They were done in the evening when personnel had to come in so no one else in the office could see him going in or out.”

Eventually, the surgeries took a toll on his face. “His nose became so small because he was operated on repeatedly,” says the source. “He has barely anything left for a nose.”

Reversing the Procedures

Jackson eventually turned to dermatologist Dr. Arnold Klein for a solution. “I rebuilt it nose] … using fillers,” Klein revealed in a July 8 interview with Larry King. “I used hyaluronic acids, and they worked very well. It’s an arduous procedure, because you don’t want to put too much in. And you have to do it exactly, so you can flow the material so it’s perfectly smooth.”

Jackson was pleased with the results, says his dermatologist. “I’m telling you that he was beginning to look like the nose was normal again,” Klein – who recently addressed rumors that he is the biological father of Jackson’s children Prince, 12, and Paris, 11 – said in the TV interview. “And that’s all I wanted, and regain the breathing passages of his nose, because there was a total collapse of the cartilage.”

Pale Skin

Klein says Jackson also relied on him to help in treating the skin condition vitiligo, which destroys pigment-producing cells and can cause patches of uneven tone. “His was bad because he began to get a totally speckled look over his body,” said Klein. “was] all over his body, but on his face significantly on his hands, which were very difficult to treat.”

“You have one choice where you can use certain drugs and ultraviolet light treatments to try to make the white spots turn dark,” Klein explained. However, Jackson’s vitiligo “became so severe, that the easier way is to use certain creams” – very likely hydroquinone derivatives, say other industry experts – “that will make the dark spots turn light so you can even out the pigments totally.”

The treatment resulted in a uniform – albeit pale – skin tone. “That’s ultimately what the decision had to be. He would have to wear heavy, heavy makeup on stage, which would be ridiculous. And he couldn’t really go out in public without looking terribly peculiar.”

Interesting, what do you think?

To be clear, I was a fan of his music. Like many fans, I watched his transformation with sadness and more than a little disgust. After seeing his “loving” father’s reaction to his death, I can almost understand why he disintegrated, and I don’t want to leave out the two plastic sisters either.

There was the BET Awards show intended to be a celebration of his life and talent and instead became a Jamie Foxx post-racial, racist rant. Then the news none of his children are his, biologically speaking, and his wife Debbie was a surrogate who contributed none of her own DNA to the creation of these babies. The third child’s origins are also unknown.

Of course there is a will, which everyone plans to contest. Thank God he had enough sense left to disinherit the scum who sired him, but there is enough insanity in that family to keep the circus going on longer that Anna Smith’s.

We were visiting with one of our neighbors Sunday and he said he had heard a rumor years ago that Michael had undergone “chemical castration” as a child to insure his voice would not change. And that is the point of my late comment on this thread. Could this possibly be true? Would it show up in an autopsy? If true, could the person(s) responsible be guilty of a crime?

This isn’t as far-fetched as it might sound on the surface. This was done, I believe, for many years to members of the Vienna Boy’s Choir. Does anyone else remember hearing anything like this? It would go a long way in explaining why this talented boy became the talented, but pathetic man he was at the time of his death.

Digg this!

As far as only being described as kind, sweet, etc…you left out pedophile and drug addict.

Of course, no one likes to be criticized or challenged for spending time, attention and money on pretending and believing the press and PR spin that celebrities manufacture. It’s all about $$$. I mentioned earlier, the Jacksons have already been to Neverland figuring out how to turn it into a permanent cash cow ala Graceland. And they haven’t even had the funeral yet. Talk about cold. Does that mean they didn’t care about him? How would anyone know? You don’t know them…only the spin, spin, spin which is getting smarmier by the minute with Rev. Al declaring him the greatest entertainer in the history of the world, etc., etc., etc., he’ll “lie in state”.

One of his entertainer friends even referred to the Jacksons as “The Black Kennedys”…and “royalty”. Why this obsession by the black community with emulating the discredited (not royalty) Kennedy family? Even Jackie, as much as I liked her style early on, set everyone up after the assassination with the myth of JFK and Camelot. No one ever heard of it before. Just another attempt after the fact to glorify him further before the rumors were proven true about his womanizing and to shore up her own image. Cold? Sanctimonious? No, I’m just not taken in. What does shock me is that so many in this forum easily see how Obama bamboozled the public but can’t comprehend that Michael Jackson did the same thing. Yes indeed. RIP.

Just imagine what that must have been like if he really was innocent. What a total nightmare.
