Paris Jackson Says Past Drug Use Left Her With a Perforated Septum

Now years sober, she says postoperative pain medication could jeopardize recovery.

Overview

  • Jackson disclosed the nasal injury in a TikTok video posted Nov. 10, using her phone light to show the hole.
  • She linked the perforation to earlier drug misuse, telling viewers the abuse "ruined" her life.
  • She said the condition began around age 20, causes a loud whistle when she breathes, and complicates vocal recording.
  • Citing relapse risk from post-surgery pills, she does not plan surgical repair and noted she is almost six years sober.
  • Reports referenced medical guidance that septal perforations can stem from drugs among other causes and are often managed with non-surgical treatments.
