MICHAEL JACKSON MIRACLE - GROWS NEW NOSE IN 2 DAYS
TWO SEPARATE PICTURES OF MICHAEL JACKSON AS HE TESTIFIES IN A CALIFORNIA COURTROOM ON BOTH NOVEMBER 13 AND NOVEMBER 15, 2002. Surgeons' Verdict Grim on Michael Jackson's Nose By Deena Beasley LOS ANGELES - A rare courtroom appearance by "King of Pop" Michael Jackson in a breach-of-contract lawsuit this week has the whole country rendering a judgment on his looks -- especially on whether he went through one nose-job too many. And as far as plastic surgeons are concerned, the public might be right. "His nose is more collapsed than it ever was. That's also consistent with the fact he's been walking around wearing surgical masks in recent times," Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Dr. Richard Fleming said on Friday. "I would never go back and do work on Michael Jackson's nose ... it is just too risky," he added. Fleming said that with each nose job, the blood circulation to the area decreases and the risks of scarring and infection increase. "I think he has accepted it (the nose). He is almost a fantasy figure or a cartoon character," said Dr Edward Domanskis, a Newport Beach, Calif., plastic surgeon. "At the age of 40, people don't act or look that way," he added. Domanskis said it looked like Jackson had at least five nose jobs and "There had to be some complications along the way." Jackson returned on Friday to a courthouse in Santa Maria -- the central California town nearest to his Neverland Valley ranch -- for a third day of testimony in a $21 million lawsuit which accuses him of pulling out of two millennium concerts. The entertainer's testimony has been overshadowed by his bizarre off-stage appearance, captured in media photographs on Wednesday. The close-up photographs, which caused an Internet stir, depicted an eyeliner-and-lipstick-wearing Jackson with a stubbly goatee, a clear, Band-Aid-type plaster on his scarred nose and a wild mane of black, silky hair. News photographers snapped the photos in court, after Superior Court Judge Zel Canter told Jackson to remove the surgical mask he was wearing. His appearance prompted gasps from the courtroom audience, which included media and about 30 fans who won a seating lottery.
