That doesn't really count for me.
The first one is a purely cosmetic effect. This is not a severe consequence.
For the second one you know exactly what choice you are making. That's not a down-the-road consequence, it's a direct choice.
I would say mutilation is pretty severe...it's generally a pretty traumatic and extreme change that people are haunted by for the rest of their lives.
with that logic, losing an eye is a game changing event that has real and lasting consequences, except it doesn't really. Head canon changes and cosmetic changes are meaningless if the narrative doesn't respond to any of it.
