LOS ANGELES -- "High School Musical" star Ashley Tisdale said that she's gotten a nose job -- but it wasn't for vanity purposes.
Tisdale told People magazine's Web site that the rhinoplasty procedure in Los Angeles Friday was for a deviated septum on the right side of her nose, which has contributed to a breathing problem that has been bothering her for a long time.
"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," Tisdale told People.
Tisdale said that she is 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," Tisdale said.
