Usually, I'd just tell my supervisor about how I need a day off two weeks in advance because I need a break or I have something planned, blah blah...
but, erm, in this case...
Well, first off...
Does anyone know about asian double eye lid surgery? It's aplastic cosmetic surgery where a person goes from having monolids to doublelids.
"What's monolids? What's doublelids?"
I have no idea how to explain except through his picture:

It's a basic surgery that a lot - emphasis on a lot - of asian (girls) get. In my case, my mother, all my aunts, and most of my grandmas were already born with double eyelids.
For some reason, I didn't get them.
So my mother is planning to schedule a surgery in December and I need to tell my boss that I need a whole week off which I've never actually done before; only one or two days at a time.
I'm planning to ask some time this month of September so it'll be 2 months in advance rather than 2 weeks since its for so many days. But the awkward part is telling her why - and I sorta can't avoid the "why" since my eye lids will be swollen and have really weird, unnaturalness going on for a few months after. Yuck.
As to why I need a whole week off, is because once I get the surgery, I need at least 5 -7 days to cold compress and warm compress my eyes along with applying antibiotics over and over to the stitches.
Then get the stitches out the 7th day.
Anyone know a good way to ask for the time off?
I'm sort of hesitant to go up to my boss and be like, "Hey, J, I need a week off in December to get some plastic surgery done. Is that ok?"

also, for any who wonder why I'm getting plastic surgery done on such a minor detail is because 1) my eye lashes curl downwards and scratch my cornea, which can be prevented by me constantly curling my eyelashes throughout the day or by wearing contacts. Both are pretty hard to keep up as I have dry eyes which allow me to have contacts for only a few hours and come on, who curls their eyelashes over and over? 2) beauty/impossible for me to put on eye makeup 3) it's an Asian thing?
