Michael Jackson is reported to have undergone several plastic surgery procedures throughout his life, including:

  • Rhinoplasty: Also known as a nose job, this procedure is used to alter the shape or size of the nose. It’s reported that Jackson had multiple nose jobs, which caused the shape of his nose to change significantly over time.
  • Blepharoplasty: This procedure, also known as an eyelid lift, is used to remove excess skin and fat from the upper or lower eyelids. It’s reported that Jackson had this procedure done to give his eyes a more open and alert appearance.
  • Facial reconstruction: Some experts speculate that Jackson may have had facial reconstruction surgery to alter the shape of his face and jaw.
  • Dermabrasion: a procedure that used to remove the top layers of skin to smooth out fine wrinkles and blemishes.
  • Melanin Injection: Some sources claim that he had the procedure to lighten his skin ton

The differences in his appearance can be seen through comparing “before and after” photos.

  • Nose: Jackson’s nose appeared wider and more defined in his earlier photos, but it became narrower and more pinched in his later photos, possibly due to multiple rhinoplasties.
  • Cheeks: Some experts speculate that Michael Jackson may have had cheek implants or other facial reconstruction surgery to alter the shape of his cheeks.
  • Eyes: His eyes appeared more open and alert after blepharoplasty, a procedure used to remove excess skin and fat from the upper or lower eyelids.
  • Skin: His skin tone appeared lighter in his later years, which some sources claim was due to a procedure called Melanin Injection
