I went to get it checked out, and the doctor told me the septum was 80% deviated and that I had two small fractures on my nose."</p><p>In her blog post, Tisdale wrote that at the time, she didn't see the procedure as "a big deal." </p><p>"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 <keyword id="26784" type="PERSON" weightage="60" keywordseo="nose-job">nose job</keyword>.

Unfortunately, with the public scrutiny, I felt like that was taken away," Tisdale wrote on Frenshe.</p><p>She continued, referencing a moment when she was "obligated" to go onstage at a Jingle Ball concert "just two weeks into recovery." Later in her blog post, Tisdale wrote that her recent interview "brought up a very dark time" in her life and reminded her of encounters she previously had with the paparazzi.</p><p>"The funny thing is that being caught off guard in this interview 15 years later when rhinoplasty is not considered taboo, I had my confidence questioned yet again. There was just no place for that," Tisdale wrote.</p><p>She wrote that she thought the interview wasn't expecting to talk about the emotional experience she had following her plastic surgery and thought instead that the interview was going to focus on her pregnancy - as <a href="https://www.insider.com/ashley-tisdale-pregnancy-announcement-photos-instagram-2020-9">she announced in September 2020 that she and her husband, Christopher French, are expecting their first child together</a>.  </p><p>Tisdale also wrote that she hopes her child won't experience similar criticism.</p><p>"At the end of the day, I'm having a daughter, and I hope her choices aren't met with judgment or shame," Tisdale wrote. "It's taken years for me to process this experience-an experience that I didn't think was that big of a deal either."</p><p>"Thank you for always allowing me to be honest and vulnerable with no judgment," Tisdale wrote. "If only other women could approach this subject the same way, we could probably feel less shame and a lot more love."</p><h3><a href="https://frenshe.com/rhinoplasty-experience/">Read Tisdale's full post on Frenshe.</a></h3><ul class="read-more-links"><li>Read more:</li><li><a href="https://www.insider.com/ashley-tisdale-pregnancy-announcement-photos-instagram-2020-9">Ashley Tisdale announced her pregnancy in a flowing white dress that perfectly matched her husband's white outfit</a></li><li><a href="https://www.insider.com/emily-ratajkowski-denies-getting-lip-fillers-during-pregnancy-2021-1">Emily Ratajkowski shut down speculation that she's gotten lip fillers while pregnant</a></li><li><a href="https://www.insider.com/rhinoplasty-is-being-promoted-to-teenagers-nose-job-tiktok-2020-12">Insider created a TikTok account and set the age at 14 to test how long before a plastic surgeon's promotional video appeared.
