Ashley Tisdale is breathing easy these days despite her newly narrowed nostrils. The "High School Musical" blonde unveiled her no-longer-deviated-septum-suffering nose at the Jingle Ball benefit at New York's Madison Square Garden on Friday, two weeks after informing People she'd gone under the knife.

"I like the way it looks. It is like it was when I was a little girl," she tells the mag of her made-over schnoz. "I like that it still looks like me."

Another fan of Tisdale's streamlined sniffer is her plastic surgeon, Raj Kanodia, who has also fixed the deviated septums of Jennifer Aniston and Ashlee Simpson.

The scalpel-wielding doctor horn-toots to the mag that he's "ecstatic" over the results of Ashley's proboscis pare-down, which was reportedly done to repair some fractured nasal bones and correct her breathing, which she says had grown so labored she began hyperventilating after a performance last spring.

"Functionally her nose is better and cosmetically it's better because I got rid of the effects of the [injuries]," explains Kanodia.

Reaction to the starlet's newly nipped and tucked honker has been mixed, ranging from exclamations of "She looks great!" to unkind comparisons to Jennifer Grey, whose post-"Dirty Dancing" rhinoplasty rendered her unrecognizable.

Tisdale, 22, who likely caused more than a few tween tears this weekend after she canceled two concert appearances because she still hasn't "fully recovered" from her surgery (per her website), makes it abundantly clear that she won't be undergoing any medically unnecessary remodeling in the future.

"I don't believe in plastic surgery," she says. "I really think natural is more beautiful. This was not about changing me. I am comfortable with myself."
