    Russians do not have epicanthic eyes. Only the Turkestan part, and they are not Russians. Mansi, Khanty, Bashkirs, Tatars, Balkars etc.

    Lol no, Korean eyes are much more Asiatic I mean they're literally Asian. The eyes I'm talking about are like mine with a lot of eyelid skin and fat. And they remove the fat so that the eyelid doesn't cover the eye. Koreans' upper eyelid aren't floppy skin, they're tighter.

    Those eyes (pseudo-Mongoloid) that you describe are found throughout Europe with the exception of Mediterranean countries. Do you think they are only in Russia? In Germany, they are no less, they are found even in the west of Ireland. I'm not talking about Scandinavia, where they are even more.
    You have normal eyes, no operations are necessary.

    Yeah I know that and I like how it makes me look different and the way it covers my eyes but I kinda hate it because I don't like how it mostly covers half of my eye and my inner eyelid on the nose corner isn't hidden the same way. It makes my eyes look droppy and sad lol

    like i hate this



    and I wish it looked more like this

    Going by this I think I have a mix of down turned and hooded eyes


    But they're still not accurate bc of this IMO

    Here's some info.

    Geographic distribution
    The highest frequency of occurrence of epicanthic folds are found in: East Asians, Southeast Asians, Central Asians, North Asians, some Polynesians, Micronesians, Native Americans (as well as Mestizos), the Khoisan, and the Malagasy. In some of these populations the trait is almost universal, specifically in East Asians. Epicanthic folds occur, but at considerably lower frequency, in: Europeans (e.g., Scandinavians, English, Irish,[6] Hungarians, Russians, Poles, Lithuanians, Finns, Estonians and Samis),[7][8] South Asians, Western Asians, Nilotes and Amazigh people.[9] The degree of development of the fold between individuals varies greatly and its presence or absence is often subjective, also its frequency varies clinally across Eurasia. Its use, therefore, as a phenotypic marker to define biological populations is debatable

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epicanthic_fold

    So a lot of populations can have people that have epicanthic folds but but it is more common in the usual suspects.

    This anthropologist said it's even in the Irish.

    According to Poirier, the problem with this theory is that a substantial portion of the Asian population evolved in areas outside of the tropical and arctic regions. In addition, he says epicanthic fold is not limited to Asians. ''John F. Kennedy had a variance of the fold and it is found among Europeans, especially the Irish,'' he said. ''It`s just less prevalent.'' The fold is also found among infants worldwide. Poirier attributes the fold to pleiotropic genes--single genes that control more than one characteristic or function--but he has no explanation for its origin.

    I have a friend who is completly Swedish and both him and his Little brother got although none if there parents have them. Dont remove them with surgery, they look good on you. It exist alot of peapole with much "weirder" eyes then you and your eyes arent even weird.
