The Real Reason Priyanka Chopra Says She Got A Nose Job

You might be thinking that Priyanka Chopra felt insecure about her nose or was pressured into modifying it to make it as an actor. A director actually did once advise her to “fix” certain things about her appearance if she wanted to pursue a career in front of the camera, but this was not why she underwent her first nose job. In her book, the movie star revealed that the surgery that changed her nose was only supposed to remove a polyp in her nasal cavity, according to Elle.

A few months after winning her Miss World title, Chopra experienced difficulty breathing. She learned that it was as a result of a benign growth in her nasal cavity, which needed to be removed surgically. According to Insider, the routine procedure turned into a bad nose job when the doctor accidentally shaved the bridge of her nose and caused it to collapse. Chopra said she was horrified by the results of the procedure. “My original nose was gone. My face looked completely different. I wasn’t me anymore,” she reflected in the book.

Although the actor spent the next few years going through more procedures to fix the bad nose job that she never asked for, she eventually made peace with the slightly different nose she now has, per My Imperfect Life.
