Paris Jackson Reveals Septum Perforation From Past Drug Use, Declines Surgery Over Sobriety Risk

In a TikTok video, the singer showed the hole, saying postoperative pain medication could trigger a relapse.

Overview

  • Jackson attributed the nasal damage to inhaled drugs and warned followers that drugs had ruined her life.
  • She said the perforation causes a loud whistling when she breathes and has sometimes complicated recording sessions.
  • The 27-year-old noted she has lived with the condition since around age 20 and is approaching six years of sobriety.
  • She explained she will avoid surgical repair for now because the recovery would likely require painkillers that jeopardize her recovery.
  • Some outlets reported she would have surgery, but her video and subsequent coverage indicated she intends to forgo the procedure.
