Ashley Tisdale opened up about her decision to get a nose job to fix her deviated septum back in 2007. “At the time, it didn’t feel like THAT big of a deal to me because the decision was based on serious health issues I was having. To be clear, it was not about changing my appearance. After several doctor’s visits about my health issues, they also suggested shaving my ‘bump’ down. I was young and didn’t put much thought into it, so I decided, why not? It wasn’t a big deal to me nor was it like I was dreaming of the day I’d get a nose job,” she wrote on her website, Frenshe.

But fillers made my nose longer. It got wider, and I’m like, ‘Oh my gosh, what the fuck? I fucked up my nose.’” She added that she felt she had “no choice” but to get a rhinoplasty to fix the damage and added that Kim Kardashian gave her some recommendations.

Finally, Dianna Agron said that she got a nose job in order to correct the damage after breaking her nose twice. The first time she broke her nose was her freshman year of high school, and the second time happened while she was on tour with the Glee cast. She said, “I didn’t go to the doctor [the first time] because I didn’t want to tell my mum what had happened and she would never let me out of the house. [The second time], I couldn’t get it fixed because we were in the middle of doing this concert tour, and we were filming. We had a day off, and I met up with some of my friends, and we were dancing. And again, there was another collision of sorts — I must be turning too quickly, people don’t see me coming or something — but it’s fixed now!”
