I read she had the surgery due to a deviated septum, not for cosmetic reasons. Maybe that’s why it doesn’t look all that much different (just straighter).

The end of her nose looks more refined now, but she looked a lot cuter with the fleshier one. She makes a better brunette, also.

It definitely looks like her bridge was built up too. I think that looks a lot better, it was way too narrow at first. I guess it goes without saying that this is not her first nose job, but rather a fix for terrible rhinoplasty she had in the past.
Ugh I read about this stuff too much…lol

It makes her look like she’s rapidly taking in a big sniff.

The change didn’t help because she’s a really phenomenally ugly girl. Poor thing.

I believe all along she said she had the work done on her nose because of an injury that caused breathing problems. I don’t think she ever intended to make any major changes to her appearance. The tip may look smaller, but her nose is definitely straighter now as well, which I think was the original intention.

I think she looks much better. Her nose isn’t that different – which is great because a totally new nose would have turned her into the next Jennifer Grey – but it is straighter. Her nose used to distract from her face.

I think her chin looks worked on too – like it’s been smoothed out just a tad. I agree that her nose didn’t need worked on from a cosmetic stance. I work with someone who has had two nose surgeries to help correct breathing issues and neither of her surgeries caused her nose to look differently.

Both of these photos are AFTER her initial and main nose job.

no way, her nose looks sooo much better now. you see it clearly on pictures taken of her in profile.

Her nose looks just the way you’d expect it to look after an operation for a deviated septum (I know – I’ve had 2) – there is a little less width at the bridge consistent with taking out a centimeter or two of cartilage.

I think sometimes you really are just trying to stir up controversy that doesn’t exist.

I thought her nose looked cuter before. And there’s something different on her upper lips.

it wasnt for cosmetic reasons, she had the surgery due to a deviated septum

Comment by Rachel — January 15, 2009 at 3:18 am

Both of those pics are of her NEW nose….

Her nose looks much different from the side and from an angled view. I doubt she had work on her chin, nosejobs can change the balance of the face and make a person’s chin look different

I read an interview with her a while ago that claimed the surgery was due to a car accident back in 2001 or 2002. Her nose was damaged in the crash and left her with breathing difficulties and the like. So, she recently got the surgery to correct the issue [and was aware people would think it solely comestic].

A “deviated septum” is the most common excuse people give for having rhinoplasty they don’t want to admit is for mostly cosmetic reasons. Might be true, might be a fib. The first photo is definitely a bad nose job though- typically tucked nostrils and scooped-out bridge.

Comment by Jessica — February 3, 2009 at 2:28 pm

I really hope it wasn’t cosmetic because she’s way too young to be starting down that path.

Comment by Emma — February 6, 2009 at 3:54 am

It wasn’t for cosmetic reasons,she couldn’t breath out of one nostril before so she got it fixed.

Comment by Felicity — February 7, 2009 at 2:12 pm

Go back to the first High School Musical for a before picture. These are both what she looked like afterwards.

Comment by Chels — February 14, 2009 at 12:02 pm

I think her nose shoulnd’t have been done. But her hair does look a million times better brown.

Comment by Maja — March 11, 2009 at 8:54 pm

Nothing wrong with her, looks the same, once again, lets give her credit, that she doesnt have a disgusting looking of hemorroide lips, monster or disfigurate.

Comment by Brooke — October 20, 2009 at 11:07 pm

Her nostrils look really stupid now. I thought she was cute with her big crooked nose, now she looks… meh.
