12 inch lengthening
« on: June 09, 2020, 11:01:08 PM »
i am completely dumbfounded as to how individuals with dwarfism are able to gain 12 inches. Like what?
how is it that they can do that, and yet something like 6 inches is considered extremely difficult?

It seems that a lot of the genetic growth potential is still there, unused, waiting to be activated medically.

Pretty sure they get the surgery multiple times over the course of several years.

They naturally have more lax soft tissue that's more responsive to stretching than people without dwarfism.
