Michael Jackson has disclosed that he and his siblings were emotionally and physically abused by their father during childhood. In 2003, his father admitted that he had whipped Jackson when he was young. This is said to be the cause of the body dysmorphic disorder that Jackson developed which led him to feel a compulsion with plastic surgery in an expression of self-mutilation. In the mid-1980s he was diagnosed with vitiligo and lupus which caused his appearance to change greatly. Not only did his skin tone became shades lighter, his nose and facial shape altered and he began losing weight. At first he used make-up to hide the patchy skin but later on, by 1990, he had undergone around ten Jackson plastic surgery.

Where surgeons suspected innumerable and frequent cosmetic surgeries that include rhinoplasties, thinned lips, forehead lift and cheek bone surgery, Jackson denied all of this maintained that he only had surgery on his nose. He is said to have had his first nasal Jackson plastic surgery in 1979 when he somehow broke his nose during a dance routine. This is was not a successful surgery and MJ complained of breathing difficulties and how they might affect his singing adversely. So, in 1980 he had his second nose job.
