Since I was really young I have always loved Michael Jackson. It upsets me when people say Michael is a freak, because they have no idea. Over time, if you keep reading my posts, I will convince you that Michael isn't the person that the tabloids make him out to be. I will try to redeem Michael Jackson. First, I will start with one of the biggest topics of discussion over the last 15-20 years, his plastic surgery. Michael Jackson has transformed from this...

Into this...

But is it all just an illusion? Could it be that Michael really hasn't changed that much at all?

About 1980 or 1981, Michael has his first nose job. Sure, why not? Whta's the harm in fixing yourself up? He had the money, so why not? The result wasn't bad at all. The girls seemed happy about it.

Then somewhere between 1984-1986 he went under the knife again. This time to lift the tip of his nose up, and get a cleft put into his chin. The result wasn't bad, but it left Michael on the borderline of a black man and a white woman. But he still looked reasonable. You may also notice his skin has become lighter. This is due to a skin disease he has called Vitiligo. The lightening of his skin also got people talking.

IMO, his face didn't really cahnge much after this. The lightening of skin made the rest of his face look somewhat unatural. He had both features of an African American and a causasian. This picture is from 1991.

About 1999-2003 something happened where Michael's nose collapsed. In about 2004 his surgeon put a piece of ear cartlidge in his ear. Now Michael's nose is fine anf ully functional. Look at these pictures from between 1999 and 03 and you'll see that it looks as if something isn't quite right with his nose.

2003... (It was about this time he got ear cartlidge put into his nose)

2005 - The Michael Jackson of today. I must admit, he is looking alot better than he has been for the last 5 years. This is after the operation where a piece of ear cartlidge was put into his nose.

So in reality, Michael has only had 3 operations (1980-81, 1984-86, 2003-05). The reason he looks different is because the lightening of his skin, has given the illusion taht his face has changed. Also, when I think about it, the different his hairstyle, the different his face looks.
This is a photo taken recently from one of the court hearings. By using photoshop, Michael's hair from 1984 has been put onto his face from now, and his skin has been darkened.

As you can see, the photo above looks like a older version of the 1984 Michael Jackson. He hasn't changed that much at all.
Who would've thought what a little photoshop can do!

He used to be a very handsome Black guy.  I remember back in the early and mid 80s, girls/women of all different ethnicities and backgrounds found him to be incredibly handsome.  But then he ruined it all.

If anyone should the poster for not doing surgery or at aleast not overkill, it's Michael Jackson. Joan Rivers as well.  ::)

:oI agree,although i would say Joan rivers looks more like the same person than michael jackson.I would say her face is excessively lifted,and also too many women get lip implants--not all womwn are mwant to have full lips--if you didn't have it when you were young,you shouldn't have it when you're not!Cheers!

i think this video explains his changes better.....  http://www.killsometime.com/Video/video.asp?video=Faces-of-Michael-Jackson

Yeah i agree that he just made himself look better.. until about.. oh 97 when he began to look like somesort of hybrid Lizard man.

Seriously.. if i saw somebody like that in the street.. i'd crap my pants and run.. nobody human looks like that naturally.

My thoughts exactly.

Last year, when they showed the mugshot of him, my daughters saw that on tv and they got really scared.  Then I had to try to explain what happened to him.  That is not fun explaining that to a 7 and 9 year old. lol ??? ???

That must pose a problem, Achtung. I couldn't imagine what I would say about Michael Jackson to a 7 or 9 year old.

He really changed a whole lot over the past 20 years.He just looks awful.What's gonna happen when he's 50 years old? :P

He's Skeletor already!  ::)

You may also notice his skin has become lighter. This is due to a skin disease he has called Vitiligo. The lightening of his skin also got people talking.



Vitiligo causes patchy loss of skin pigmentation, not a gradually fading.  I have never believed this part of his story.



So in reality, Michael has only had 3 operations (1980-81, 1984-86, 2003-05). The reason he looks different is because the lightening of his skin, has given the illusion taht his face has changed. Also, when I think about it, the different his hairstyle, the different his face looks.



He also had at least one operation on his eyes.  You can see from your photos how his eye shape his changed by having the lids lifted and the small rolls of fat removed from under them.

here's an example I found on the net

Here are a heap of photo's that show Michael's vitiligo disease.

This one is very recent (look at the hand).

From his 1995 video, 'They Don't Care About Us'. The song and video was an anti-racism song, so Michael decided to ditch the make-up and show that he was proud of his race.

As you can see, Michael definately has vitiligo. It is a disease that his grandfather had.
There is no way anyone can bleach their skin. The closest thing is bleaching cream which alot of black people use if they have real dark patches on their skin. It's very, very common. I have a black friend who has medium-dark skin and she always comes up with these realy, really dark patches on her arms and neck mostly. Her doctor recommended bleaching cream. Bleaching cream takes about 3-4 months to work, and after that you've got to keep re-applying it or else it'll just go back to the way it was. Basically what bleaching cream does, is it evens out your skin tone. This could be something Michael uses.
However, I have spoken to on many occasion Karen Faye, Michael's make-up artist. She said Michael definately has vitiligo and she has to cover it up with make-up everytime he goes out in public. She said his skin is dominantly white/grey. His back is still dominantly black and his legs still have very large areas of black on them. But his face, neck, chest and arms are dominantly white.
