Ashley Tisdale gets a new nose!
(Picture taken week before surgery)
High School Musical star Ashley Tisdale had a rhinoplasty procedure on Friday in Los Angeles, the actress confirms to PEOPLE exclusively.
“Growing up I always knew I had a deviated septum on the right side of my nose, which caused trouble breathing,” a bandaged Tisdale told PEOPLE on Monday from her Los Angeles home. “The older I got, the worse it got. I went to get it checked out, and the doctor told me the septum was 80 percent deviated and that I had two small fractures on my nose.”
The recuperating 22-year-old adds: “I’m not feeling great today. It’s uncomfortable and I hope this is the only time I ever have to go through something like this.”
Tisdale’s mother, Lisa, was by her side during the five-hour procedure. Still, Tisdale says, every step of the way “I was completely scared. I wasn’t looking forward to the surgery at all. I actually had trouble sleeping for a week before.”
A role model for young girls, Tisdale says she’s not an advocate for plastic surgery and wouldn’t recommend it to anyone.
“I didn’t do this because I believe in plastic surgery. I did this to help my health. I literally almost could not breathe out of the right side of my nose,” says Tisdale, who’s openly discussing the procedure because “I want my fans to know the truth. I’m not someone who is going to act like I had nothing done. I just want to be honest because my fans are everything to me.”
Tisdale is expected to fully recover by the time High School Musical 3 begins filming early next year.

She’s sexy, in that New-Jersey-high-school-slut sort of way.
Now to see if the nose job makes her sexier.

People can, and do, get a deviated septum fixed without changing the shape or size of their nose. I guess we’ll just have to see what it looks like, although judging by the “before” picture, she could have a bit cut off.

When I got my deviated septum straightened 3 years ago, I specifically asked my doctor if he would have to change the shape of my nose. He told me that fixing a deviated septum NEVER requires the shape of the nose to change and that it is just an excuse to get plastic surgery covered by insurance. What an f-ing liar. At least don’t tell one that can be so easily disproved.

For some reason I really don’t like this girl…First the lip singing…now this BS story.

I have the same problem with my left nostril. I want to get it fixed because I can NOT breathe at all on the left side. It really sucks when I have a cold!

BS, I had the same surgery, my nose looks EXACTLY the same. Deviated Septum repair does not change the outside of the nose at all.
