Ashley Tisdale is letting go of the shame she still harbors about her rhinoplasty procedure.
In a personal essay shared to her lifestyle site Frenshe on Thursday, Jan. 28, the High School Musical star admitted she felt "triggered" by a recent interview in which she was seemingly asked about going under the knife nearly 15 years ago.
Back in 2007, Ashley went public with her nose job in an attempt to de-stigmatize the procedure—especially when it comes to alleviating health issues like a deviated septum.
Looking back at the self-described "very traumatic" ordeal, Ashley writes that she never anticipated such intense public scrutiny.
"To be clear, it was not about changing my appearance," she shares, adding, "It wasn't a big deal to me nor was it like I was dreaming of the day I'd get a nose job.
