This is in the Off Topic forum, so I don't see how there's an issue about "off" or "on" topic
MJ may have frequently stated he only had two surgeries on his face/nose, but the plastic surgeon he first went to stated he refused to do any more plastic surgery on him after a series of operations, but that he went to one with less scruples to continue. He said how sad he was that MJ had done this because he had ruined his face.
As to his vetigo .. every black skinned person I've known who has had this condition used something to maintain their original skin colour; it is their defining skin colour, and they're rightly proud of it. MJ worked at removing the features which defined him, and to me seemed to do the same in terms of his skin colour. The pictures Dave posted demonstrate imo his obsession with changing his appearance.
