I am 35 yrs.  I have hypochondraplasia – a milder form of achon.  I am 4 foot 6 and a half.  I had leg lengthening from 7yrs to 14. 

It is a lot to go through.  Some operations were fine.  Others went wrong with infections and complications.  I have mixed feelings about what I went through.  I have a friend who is smaller than me but she got 6 inches out of lengthening which counts for a lot.  There are pros and cons.

If you want to chat more specifically about the operations, message me.

Thanks  Julie
