History of Michael Jackson's face

He is the entertainer par excellence, the King of Pop and the emperor of controversy. According to sources, Michael Jackson is readying himself for more plastic surgeries before his comeback tour in July. As he is one man who has had more facial surgeries than most other celebrities, we take a look at the journey of his face.

Jackson was hit with Lupus and Vitiligo in the 1980s, making his skin paler and sensitive to light. Speculations are that in an attempt to control this disease and its apparent effects, Jackson took drastic measures, and the colour of his skin changed from black to white.

Michael underwent his first rhinoplasty as early as 1979, but that was due to a broken nose after a nasty fall during a concert.

In 1986, Michael Jackson got a cleft surgically put on his face. Apart from this, he has had four rhinoplasties done. While he denies it, some experts claim that he has even got his eyes surgically altered.
