Ashley Tisdale had to cancel a few shows over the weekend because of pain in her nose after her nose job to fix a deviated septum. On her website Ashley issued the following message:

Special note from Ashley

To my fans and friends in Miami and Philadelphia,

I’m so sorry I wasn’t able to be at the holiday shows this weekend. I haven’t fully recovered from my surgery and had to make the difficult decision to cancel the appearances.

When my surgery was scheduled, we didn’t think it would be necessary to cancel the shows because my doctor thought I would heal in time. Unfortunately, the deviated septum was more significant than we originally thought so the healing process is taking longer.

The last thing I ever want to do is disappoint my fans. I flew out to the east coast with the dancers and crew, still hoping I would be well enough to perform.

I hope you all have a very happy holiday season.
I love you guys!
Ashley

Ashley Tisdale says she got a nose job because:

“Growing up I always knew I had a deviated septum on the right side of my nose, which caused trouble breathing,” Tisdale tells People. “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.”

Can you tell she had work done?

High School Musical star Ashley Tisdale had a rhinoplasty procedure on Friday in Los Angeles, the actress confirmed.

"Growing up I always knew I had a deviated septum on the right side of my nose, which caused trouble breathing," a bandaged Tisdale said 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, but she still did herself.

"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 march of 2008.

Remember folks, Ashley only got a nose job because she couldn’t breath, and not to make herself look better. LOL

Ashley Tisdale gave a lame performance at the Christmas celebration at Rockefeller Center. At least try.

Both Vanessa Hudgens and Ashley Tisdale have signed on to do Disney’s High School Musical 3, and they both got a big raise. Maybe this will be the best High School Musical so far.
