You might recognize 14-year-old Chloe Lukasiak for her kickass dance moves. Chances are, you’ve seen her on ​Dance Moms ​and all over the Internet, or you remember that she recently won Choice Dancer at the Teen Choice Awards. Underneath all of her success, though, Chloe has insecurities, just like the rest of us.

For the first time ever, she’s opening up about her biggest insecurity. For a while, Chloe has been teased for what she thought was a “lazy eye,” but it turned out to be something far more serious — a condition called silent sinus syndrome, which causes painless facial asymmetry. “I started noticing it about a year ago or so, but it started getting worst this year,” she said. “People started saying things about it, so that was really hard.”

Chloe just underwent surgery yesterday, and is currently in recovery. Doctors were worried that if they didn’t do something fast, it would affect her vision. “It feels good. I feel a lot more secure,” she said.

Watch her touching video, now.

Chloe is currently in New York City attending New York Fashion Week. I’ve added HQ photos of her at Nicole Miller’s fashion show. Check them out in the gallery now!
