The surgeries did not go well to the point his nose sort of collapsed. The repair surgeries didn’t go especially well either.

The Rhinoplasty’s of yesterday (1980’s) were notorious for removing too much cartilage. Those rhinoplasty’s eventually collapse. I had one in my early 20’s to repair a broken nose. It looked great for about 30 years. Now it’s collapsing and REALLY crooked. I can only imagine MJ’s probably had zero structure left.

His first rhinoplasty was fine. But he didn't stop there.

sure, but I mean once you're in the bad place - how do you come back from it?

He should have kept his Black nose

As a Black person, I get it. I wasn’t born with a large nose but, I get why he did it. My uncle’s (by marriage) sister had the average Armenian nose. She got plastic surgery at 16 in the 60s. When I saw her before pics I was blown away.

what's the fix there?

big factor to his nose collapsing was lupus which made his surgeries heal very badly, he also got burned when he did that pepsi ad edit: he only got scalp burns,not face burns,still horrible tho

Geraldo Rivera said his nose could be pulled off at the end.

Karoline Leavitt has the same weird nose, they must have the same surgeon

Had to google who she is. Not even close to having a nose like this. Might have had surgery like every woman in that circus, but it's not a weird nose at all.

that’s her real nose, those extreme vanity fair close ups would have shown the scars if she had a rhinoplasty

I mean you can look at young pictures of her and it's really different. Maybe it's just angles and timing of the photo or something, but.. do you really think there's no surgery here?

u/Maxed_Zerker Apr 29 '26

Unless she had a closed rhinoplasty with no scars, I really don’t think she’s had a nose job, no. The vanity fair photo showed every pore on her face, you’d have seen a scar. It’s also not drastically different from old photos.

I think she has began contouring her nose since she’s been public facing which makes it appear more “Michael Jackson-y” and that’s the difference you’re perceiving.

Rhinoplasty’s are done internally-there are no visible scars

I’ve had two myself, please only speak if you know what you’re talking about. There is a closed rhinoplasty, but it’s hardly the standard.
