Michael's sister, singer Janet Jackson is rumored to have had a breast augmentation besides a rhinoplasty. It is hard to say because of the kind of clothes that was using in the "after" picture, they have the typical look of breast implants (excesively rounded in the upper part) but this can be achieved with special bra (or just pushing up the breast). The nose job is rumored to have been done as early as when she had 16 years old, but it is not confirmed.
When breast implants are placed above the muscle, they show less roundness than implants above it, but even in that case, when conditions such as capsular contracture develops, scar tissue builds up around the implants, causing them to be round and hard, this condition may also be painful leading to the removal of the implants.
Decrease in body fat percentage also can lead to a less natural appearance of the implants showing more roundness because the breasts are more skin and implant.
It has to be mentioned that according to medical experts dramatic weight loss and gains create unhealthy levels of stress on the body.
Even cosmetic surgeons urge Janet Jackson to avoid further plastic surgery procedures. Her brother, Michael, didn't manage to follow such advice. As a result, he turned himself into an object of mockery.
Janet is rumored to have gone under the knife for multiple plastic surgery procedures.
A couple of things that are quite clear is that she has had breast implants, a nose job, liposuction and possibly facial surgery such as cheek implants to mention a few.
It appears that Janet has had eyelid surgery to open up her eyes more. That could be achieved using a technique called "blepharoplasty" to remove excess fat and skin above and below the eye. She has definitely a nose job or two to narrow it up and refine the tip (It has to be mentioned that the nose job is rumored to have been done as early as when she was 16 years old, but it has not been confirmed yet.) . Although Janet has always had very pronounced cheek bones, she may have had cheek implants as well. Actually, judging by the before and after photos her cheeks look like they are hanging over on themselves, which is never a good thing!
Many plastic surgeons agree, she later got breast implants.
In her book, Janet traces her unhappiness with her body back to 1979, when she was an 11-year-old with early-developing breasts on the TV show "Good Times."
Janet Jackson revealed: "Before production began, I was told two things: I was fat and needed to slim down, and because I was beginning to develop, I needed to bind my breasts. In both cases the message was devastating—my body was wrong. The message was also clear—to be successful, I had to change the way I looked."
If you take a close look, you will notice that Janet has a giant dent in her boob.
As for liposuction, it is likely that Janet Jackson had liposuction to achieve her dramatic weight loss, perhaps combining it with dieting and exercise and using liposuction to get rid of stubborn deposits of fat that do not respond to dieting and exercise or to put tone and finishing touches on her body.
Local cosmetic doctors aren’t impressed with the changes that her nose job made, but most claim she looks good and should do nothing more, other than modest treatments such as skin care.
Plastic surgeon Dr. Terry Dubrow of Newport Beach believes that Jackson may have benefited from modern cosmetic treatments, which have improved on earlier work that made her nose and breasts look fake. He declared:
"Janet Jackson is a great example of how plastic surgery has changed through the years. If you look at the earlier photos of her nose and breasts she has an artificial look to these areas. Now either through the natural relaxation of time or modern day revisions she looks beautiful and more natural consistent with how we do modern day procedures. The key today is to have no signs of having had surgery, which she’s looking more like now."
Plastic surgeon Dr. Val Lambros of Newport Beach stated "I think she looks great except for the nose." If she were his patient, " I’d tell her to do nothing and to stop being insecure," he told.
"Janet Jackson looks good!" quoted as saying plastic surgeon Dr. Ed Domanskis of Newport Beach. "I am sure she is understandably very cautious of having cosmetic surgery on her face because of her brother Michael’s misadventures! I would recommend a non-surgical procedure like Thermage (i.e. radiofrequency waves) for her face and eye area to achieve some tightening in those areas."
Plastic surgeon Dr. John Di Saia of San Clemente and Orange stated "I think she’s had her eyes and nose done in addition to her breasts. Facially I’d leave her alone. Breast-wise I would need a better exam, but if her implants are silicone-gel-filled and older, an exchange would be reasonable plus or minus a lift."
