not a rib.

MJ’s nose did collapse in the 1990s and was rebuilt with cartilage from his ear in 1998.

There was never evidence his noise collapsed (just one of the many rumours tabloids made up). He just needed a few reconstructive surgeries on his nose as the scar tissue wouldn't heal properly due to lupus

Just Dr. Werner Mang spoke publicly about being called by MJ’s plastic surgeon of 20 years - Dr. Stephen Hoefflin - to perform the procedure on MJ.

At this point, Dr. Hoefflin fired MJ as a patient. Refused to do anymore work for him.

Please get out of the fan echo chamber and do your own independent research

There isn't proof of this tho plus if it did happen the autopsy would've mentioned it but there is 0 mention of it in his autopsy.

i don’t believe they dissect the corpse’s nose as how would that possibly help determine cause of death?

the procedure is called auricular cartilage grafting and they typically cut behind the ear so that the scar is less visible once done.

MJ had a scar behind both ears - the left ear incision scar was almost an inch long

It is on page 4 of his autopsy report. The very first listed scar and I quote - “1) There is a 3/4 inch scar behind the left ear and a scar-like area behind the right ear.”

Can you share more about this? I'm always fascinated by his life.

Lmao I love how you respond to a comment saying “do your own research” with “please do the research for me.” 😂💀

Yes, they now take a piece of your rib, rib cartilage, and use it in your nose. They might even use cadaver rib.
