Epicanthoplasty is eye surgery to remove the epicanthal folds. It can be a challenging procedure because the epicanthal folds overlay the lacrimal canaliculi (tear drainage canals).〔Meronk, F. ("Epicanthoplasty". ) Retrieved May 11, 2006.〕 Although an epicanthic fold can also be associated with a less prominent upper eyelid crease (a feature commonly termed "single eyelids" as opposed to "double eyelids"), and is a trait that appears more commonly in East Asian ethnicities, the two features are distinct; a person may have both epicanthal folds and an upper eyelid crease, one and not the other, or neither.〔Lam Facial Plastics ("Asian Blepharoplasty". ) Retrieved July 12, 2012.〕 Single eyelids are reshaped using Asian blepharoplasty. Epicanthoplasty may leave visible post-surgical scar lines. A common corrective technique involves using Z-plasty. ==See also== *Blepharoplasty *Cosmetic surgery *Passing (racial identity) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Epicanthoplasty」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
