High School Musical co-star Ashley Tisdale is home recuperating from rhinoplasty surgery. The Disney musical star claims to have had a deviated septum that needed repairing.

“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.”

She goes on to say that this was done for health reasons and said she is coming forward about the surgery to be honest with her fans, “because my fans are everything to me.”
