London, July 12 (IANS) Pop legend Michael Jackson’s skin doctor Arnold Klein was completely rebuilding the star’s ravaged face in the run-up to his ‘This Is It” comeback shows.
Dailyexpress.co.uk reports, Klein desperately tried to make the King of Pop appear “more normal” for his 50-date run at London’s O2 Arena after years of cosmetic surgery left the singer’s face severely scarred and acne-ridden.
The dermatologist, however, insists rumours that the star’s nose was so bad it had fallen off his face are untrue.
“He came to me because, basically, I was sort of rebuilding his face, because he had severe acne and scarring. He had scarring from having a lot of cosmetic surgery. And my expertise is like it is with every one of my patients. My patients are my treasures,” Klein told US TV show host Larry King.
“And I was rebuilding his face so he looked much more normal. And contrary to what people said, he could not take off his nose. His nose was attached. But it looked too small. And I was just trying to get him ready to do the concert, because in the way he looked at his face, he wanted it to be absolutely as perfect as it could be,” Klein added.
The surgeon also confirmed Jackson was paranoid about his nose after years of taunts from his family.
“I know that people made fun - or family members - of the size of his nose. He was very sensitive to that. And so he (started) doing cosmetic surgery” Klein said.
