Tinakpan lang po nila [yung ear drum ko] para I can finally swim or shower normally at mas better po yung hearing ko. And yung para sa nose ko naman po is for my sinus. I had a polyps removal. Marami pong tinanggal sa nose ko inside,” he explained. </p><p>Addressing the cosmetic surgery rumors directly, Josh clarified that the procedures were done purely for medical reasons. </p><p>“Wala naman pong ginawa sa labas. Kaya natatawa ako sa ibang comments sinasabi [na] nagpagawa ako ng ilong. Sa akin wala namang mali doon, pero ang akin, just for my health lang talaga because it was hard for me to breathe with the polyps.” </p><div><br/></div><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/showbiz/celebrities/2026/1/13/kendall-jenner-denies-having-plastic-surgery-2014" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>READ: Kendall Jenner denies having plastic surgery</strong></a></div><div><br/></div><p>Josh said that he had been enduring both ear and nose problems for the last three years, previously saying in an earlier interview that he had been saving up for the procedures needed to finally address his condition. </p><div><br/></div><div><iframe src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fjoshykosh101%2Fposts%2Fpfbid02meW8RvuLDoZfHyKcC9g9TYsRq9ge9dT6CdeC6qvqtsjJQiyan1bnx4gVy8veR1psl&amp;show_text=true&amp;width=500" width="500" height="645" style="border:none;overflow:hidden" scrolling="no" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><div><br/></div><p>Now recovering after the successful surgeries, the actor said he is already feeling a significant improvement after years of discomfort. </p><p>“Everytime I breathe, sumasakit rin po yung ears ko. I have vertigos, headaches, and nag-worsen lang po talaga yung hearing ko. My left ear is not as good as my right ear. Pero hopefully now, dahil na-surgery na, mas o-okay na po yung pakiramdam ko.” </p><p>Although Josh has already resumed work just two weeks after undergoing surgery, he admitted full recovery will still take several more months, with visible scars on his ear still healing. </p><p>“Still healing pero much much better na ngayon,” he expressed. </p><p>Many supporters flooded social media with messages wishing him continued healing and applauding him for finally being able to undergo what many described as life-changing medical procedures after years of waiting. </p><div><br/></div><div><iframe src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fedith.petonio%2Fposts%2Fpfbid029c7UAfXCJRnejTMcoNmzyJrbSAeRgWxxChyWqM7SMLf7WW7tA29JNqPV3mJHqBgol&amp;show_text=false&amp;width=500" width="500" height="497" style="border:none;overflow:hidden" scrolling="no" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><div><br/></div><p>During his two-week recovery at home, Josh was also visited by Kapamilya actress and <a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/the-secrets-of-hotel-88" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em><strong>The Secrets of Hotel 88</strong></em></a> co-star Kira Balinger, who spent time checking in on him while he rested.</p>
