Laittakaa meemejä tänne.

LOL look up Liberace.
They were around the same time, although having plastic surgery done to someone else to make them look like you is a different level.
Well, around the same time in the sense that Boomers and Millennials were around the same time. Liberace was 39 and had renovations before Jackson was born.
Liberace had his first major plastic surgery in 1979. Jackson first rhinoplasty was in the same year.
Liberace wanted to look the same. He was mostly anti-aging, until he started changing other people to look like him.
Jackson wanted to look different. Jackson was looksmaxing.
When you say "major" - presumably that means you know of "minor" work Liberace had earlier, which you've decided not mention, and you're also omitting that Jackson's '79 nose job was treatment after he broke his nose in an accident. But clearly you really want to be right on this, so okay it's all yours.
Liberace wanted to look like himself
Jackson wanted to look like someone different.
That's why I say Jackson was Looksmaxing.
If you just want the first big celebrity to have plastic surgery, choose Mary Pickford or Rudolph Valentino.
