Amanda Bynes is a hero, or so she calls herself after claiming that she has suffered 27 years with a birth defect. The unpredictable former child actress said that she has had that "defect," a webbing in between her eyes, removed.

"I was born with a webbing in between my eyes. That was a birth defect that I had surgically removed! I've never been more excited! Now I need a few more surgeries to shave the bridge down to correct the rest of my nose so I can start the next chapter of my career! Music!" she tweeted excitedly.

The 27-year-old was "embarrassed" to admit that she had a birth defect, but she couldn't wait to talk about it as soon as she had it removed, adding that her next surgery is on Saturday.

Despite claiming she didn't want to talk about her webbing before she got rid of it, Amanda has indeed talked about it before.

Last month, she revealed that she had a nose job to "remove skin that was like a webbing in between my eyes."

And now she's sharing the news of her surgery to prove that she's not crazy, but just embarrassed.

"I consider myself to be a hero to have suffered 27 years with a birth defect and to just now have it surgically removed!" she said in a tweet that she has promptly deleted.

She's not the only hero in her story, however. She also called her doctors heroes because they also correct the cleft lips of children, which she compared as "something as traumatic as webbing in between your eyes!"

But what exactly is a webbing? Amanda has been complaining about hers every chance she gets, but for casual observers, it's not even noticeable, whatever it is. Perhaps Amanda is just too vain to notice such imperfection that only she can see.

It's good, though, that getting surgeries has given her confidence, even though she continues to insult other people by calling them ugly.

The question remains, though, what is a webbing?

A quick search online explains that eye webbing is a skin that extends from the nasal border of the corner to the inner canthus of the eye. However, Facial plastic surgeon Shervin Naderi, MD doubts that rhinoplasty could remove that excess skin that Amanda wants rid of.

"Rhinoplasty does not remove any skin anywhere but changes to the nose can make the rest of the face look more balanced and harmonious," he told newbeauty.com.
