my recent operation saw doctors KNOCKING ME OUT, CUTTING OPEN the inside of my nose, & SURGICALLY REMOVING my septum cartilage - leaving me w/ 2 inch long splints in both nostrils for 1 week
it was called a “septoplasty” & it made me breathe clearly for the 1st time in 26 years
as a poor child, the evil doctors put me to sleep and shoved a tube up my body that sliced scars into my heart.
the procedure is called svt abrasion, and is used to treat Supraventricular tachycardia, a condition where my heartrate exceed 100bmp while at rest. those scars prevented certain stray pulses of electricity from triggering an extra heartbeat. since then I have never had a single issue with my heart in over a decade.
any procedure can sound gross or disgusting when it is intentional written that way.
I just find it strange that when cis people get gender affirming procedures like plastic surgery or implants, it is never described this way.
