Memories of an IQ 2000 Plastic Surgeon

A plastic surgeon reflects on his childhood dream of becoming a computer programmer and his journey to becoming a specialist in double-eyelid surgery.

Memories of an IQ 2000 Plastic Surgeon

When I was young, my dream wasn’t to be a plastic surgeon. It was to be a computer programmer.

I actually still hold a certification as an Information Processing Technician. Of course, I obtained it back in 1989 or 1990. However, it’s just a ‘closet license’ now. -_-;; haha


Currently, I am a plastic surgeon performing surgeries like these.

But enough about that. Returning to my memories...

Back in 1988, my father bought a computer. It was called the ‘IQ 2000 Personal Computer’.

Tada~~

I found this image online, but it’s identical to the one I had, right down to the blue arrow keys on the right side of the keyboard.

Naturally, it came with the game Galaga... and Arkanoid.

It’s filled with childhood memories...

Unfortunately, a thief broke into our house and stole everything. T_T

I remember crying so much that day. Still, learning about computers at a young age gave me a grasp of coding concepts.

I think I even created quite a few programs back then.

Those are memories of the past, and now I am living diligently as a plastic surgeon. I am active in academic societies, and recently, my paper on ‘ptosis correction without double eyelids’ was published in the Aesthetic Surgery Journal (ASJ).
