- Celebrities don't often open up or admit to getting anything done to their faces.
- However, since 2021, Priyanka Chopra has been discussing getting a polyp surgically removed from her nasal cavity.
- Now, she says surgeons accidentally altered her face during that time, which caused her depression.
Priyanka Chopra has been opening up about her previous nose surgery. She says she went into a deep depression following a botched procedure in the early 2000s. During a recent appearance on The Howard Stern Show, the Citadel actor described how surgeons accidentally altered her face while removing a polyp in her nasal cavity.

"It was a dark phase," she reflected. "This thing happens, and my face looks completely different, and I went into a deep, deep depression," Priyanka noted that she was cut from three projects a short time later and felt certain her Bollywood career was over before it started.
She also shared that her father, who was a doctor, offered her a lot of support when she decided to undergo corrective surgery. "I was terrified of that, but he was like, 'I will be in the room with you'," the 40-year-old recounted. "He held my hands through it and helped me build back my confidence."

According to People, not long after Priyanka was crowned Miss World 2000, she began to develop a lingering head cold in the summer of 2001, which at the time, she believed was a very bad sinus infection. "I was having trouble breathing. This is a problem someone with asthma can't ignore," she wrote in her memoir Unfinished. She then went to see a doctor recommended by a family friend, who discovered the polyp that needed to be surgically removed.
