descriptions of marks

The sections that try to give a description of the facial cuts specify that the cuts are 1/2 inch LONG. But the photos accompanying the article show cuts that certainly seem to be from 2 to 5 inches long. I do not know enough to correct this inaccuracy, I am only comparing to photos. Someone please fix!
