[edit] Re

Re: merging the epicanthoplasty with Asian Blepharoplasty. I agree it should be merged if the discussion is limited to the subgroup of epicanthoplasties specific for asians - correction of the asian epicanthal fold (epicanthus orientalis). This is an aesthetic operation.

There are four types of epicanthal folds: Type 1, epicanthus supraciliaris;Type 2, epicanthus palpebralis;Type 3, epicanthus tarsalis; and Type 4, epicanthus orientalis.

Epicanthus orientalis should be merged with Asian Blepharoplasty. The other three should not, and there should be a separate topic for epicanthoplasty or medial epicanthus, to cover the other categories. Asianplasticsurgery 00:08, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

Epicanthoplasty is done on both Asians and non-Asians--however the reasons and methods are very different--consequently the topics should remain separate. —--Survresp 02:17, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The percentages are not found on the link

The statement involving 70, 60, and 30 percent of Japanese, Korean, and Chinese, respectively, having natural double-eyelids is not found on the link.

Consequently, I am removing it.Erik-the-red 12:29, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Bigger without the Fold

Is it possible to make Asian eyes bigger, without introducing a fold?--Timtak (talk) 03:31, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
