I agree, the reporter was obviously trying to coax a painful emotional response from the father, which she got. But that’s our media for you, total exploitation.
Zero Lmfao, you're not being a gentleman you're hitting on someone in the CZcams comments about a woman with dwarfism. You sound like you're 10 by saying hold this L. Got anything else?
I feel for the man whose dad forced him to get the surgery. He was content with being a dwarf, and his Dad forced him to change and endangered his physical health in the process. That's fucked.
Russ Singh he probably just wanted to help his son out and make things a little easier on him if he was just a little taller. I’m not saying it’s right cause it’s not. I’m just saying that probably why the dad did it
The little people community looks down on this. I feel like people shouldn't be judged for the things they want to do if it only involves themselves and their own life.
FeelTheLack They aren't against her, just the fact that the surgery is so or can be so dangerous is what they dislike. Also as you realize this is only done when you are a child because bone regeneration is faster then. Not all children can fully grasp the possible down sides of the surgery.
3MM4 P33L Oh yeah, I just watched 'Sound and Fury', I was really bothered by older deaf people who didn't want their grandchildren to have an implant that could help them communicate.
I can't judge her because her limps weren't proportionate to her. She couldn't brush her hair since her arms were too short. Again she has a rare form of dwarfism and was not proportionate. I can't judge her if I don't know her struggles.
+FeelTheLack the reason why they are against it is because the hearing community has an unhealthy obsession of saying speech is the only way to communicate sign language is a legitimate language why should they be forced to do something because of other people's ignorance. would you like someone telling you to learn luximburish when you speak fine German simply because they don't speak it but you can access things just fine. so don't judge people for wanting their children to realize they don't need to conform to another persons idea of normal when they are normal and there are entire communities with people just like them lots of deaf children want implants because they are teased or they don't think they are normal when they are plus what most hearing people don't realize is that the implants are expensive to get and maintain also they aren't 100% ensured to work and keep working lots of deaf people regret implants because they become a distraction and they don't filter noise very good also implant in children after a certain age is crazy talk since speech learning has a window that closes that why children raised by wild animals after a certain age can't learn language beyond a few words educate yourself before you make statements.
J.R. Spingly ~ Why is her personality "shit" when she's changing her physical appearance? She's making a personal choice for herself and not causing harm to anyone else. People change their physical appearances all the time with hair, piercings, tattoos, plastic surgeries, etc. Someone's personality doesn't change because of changes to their physical appearance. A person's physical appearance often changes because of a person's personality and choice.
J.R. Spingly It wasn’t for vanity reasons; she stated it was for functionality and her mother spoke that they wished for her to be more independent. I think she’s beautiful inside and out.
J.R. Spingly Wow. Because she/her parents wanted a better quality of life for her and wanted her independence, she has a "shit" personality?? Did you watch the video at all?? She seems like one of the sweetest people you could ever imagine.
"As a parent, watching your child cry out in pain... What is that like?" Journalism has really gone down the drain, what kind of dumb-ass question is that?
Am I the only one who notices where on CZcams if somebody in a video has any sort of slight adnormalty then everyone says in the comments about how they think they're so pretty, but if the video has a person who's completely normal and happens to be pretty any comment about how she's pretty or whatever gets total backlash. I was shocked that so many people were talking about how they "honestly think she's pretty." She's literally a normal person who was born with short legs and arms and then got them lengthened.
Rava Codo the comments are absolute lies by buffoons who want to seem kind for calling someone attractive even though they’re not, the idea is that they are trying to be seen as nice to someone who is pitiful. They believe they are a good person for doing so but they are actually a bunch of self satisfying ignorant cunts. Patting themselves on the back.
Lengething her arms wouldn't be worth the pain and risk again, as it's only be for cosmetic reasons. What she already did was party that, but mainly it enabled her to function normally
My brother had leg lengthening surgery and gained some inches and even grew a couple inches after it. He’s now 4’ 9”. It’s pretty remarkable the things this surgery did for him. He played all the sports he could throughout high school and was even on Varsity in some of those sports. This surgery helped him a lot.
We need to be normalizing and accommodating for differently abled people in this society just as we accommodate for fully abled people instead of pushing things like children having unbelievingly painful risky surgeries as the only way to independence and quality of life. You're not just living your own choices when your choices ill affect your own community and send a strong message AGAINST what that community is saying, against what is RIGHT and FAIR. She said she wanted this for independence, she wanted to be able to do things like turn a light switch on...A LIGHT SWITCH. We can't create a society accessible to every level of ability?? We have to push THIS kind of thing instead? Which is less risky to a child, to anyone? THAT'S the point. She broke her legs several times in order to reach things when those things could've easily been brought down to her level, if only that was what we were willing to do for all humans.
EC A it wasn't only for a stupid light switch....that can easily be moved lower. There are plenty of little people that didn't go thru this surgery who are able to turn on the damn lights. Her main point was Independence and self reliance. With shorter limbs and average size torso, it would have made simple grooming tasks harder for her. Hygiene upkeep and what not. Like her mother said... they won't be there forever and she didn't want her daughter to rely on others. Even relying on parents, or other loved ones...it makes the person feel like they are a burden for those caring for them. If I were in her shoes, I would've made the same choice. I hate the feeling of having to rely on others.
If you don't want to have the operation, don't have it. On the other hand, if you don't agree to have it, you shouldn't be forced to have it. Tiffany wanted to have the surgery and asked to keep going. The man should NOT have been forced by his parents to go under the knife when he clearly didn't want it done. It was HIS body!
my girlfriend soon fiance is a proportionate 4ft 5in and i love her just the way she is , im glad she has accepted and embraced her hieght , wouldn't want to see her suffer .
Actually she likely has pituitary dwarfism. Most people associate dwarfism with achondroplasia dwarfism (which is a mutation leading to the growth plates solidifying too early. This causes your limbs to be short, but other areas to be "normal height.") When someone is short but proportional you can rule out achondroplasia which only affects longitudinal growth of the limbs. However pituitary dwarfism is where the body doesn't make as much growth hormone as it should, causing all types of bone growth to be equally stunned. (Some people with this condition are even treated with growth hormone.) (Note: every heard of gigantism? Where and individual is 7 feet + tall? This is usually due to a tumor pressing against the pituitary gland causing it to secrete excess growth hormone.)
I have one shorter leg and had this done twice. It's the worst thing imaginable. If things go wrong you're stuck with it or you remove the progress and retry it again. The pain is awful as just a given. My personal experience with it caused so many infections and I was on morphine for a year and failed first year certificate for it. It helped but it's the last resort for a lot of people. I applaud her for doing it going through the tears, the sleeplessness, the helplessness. As long as she's happy this end it was worth it.
I had this surgery also, I had to have a TSF on my left leg twice and it really sucked, in the end it didn't work and I'm having limb shortening surgery in two weeks.
This was an option for my daughter to fix her legs being different lengths. She choose a different surgery. Her right was her shorter leg. They are now even.
Gina Nguyen ill be honest myself, shes not very attractive, but shes a fighter you can tell, looks arent always everything and what she lacks in looks she makes up in strength and determination and thats all that matters
David Ayarra We know looks aren't everything and no one said she wasn't strong. I just thought it didn't need to be mentioned because of how it was already portrayed in the video.
I have a bone disease and surgies suck. Don't mess with the bones. When she gets older she'll be in pain. I've had it since I was 12 and my bones deteriorate.
To hear her say at the end that she has everything she’s ever wanted, not many people get to that point in their life especially at a younger age. It’s so heartwarming to see. 💗
dwarfism runs in my family. my mom is 4" 5. grandmother id 3" 9 and had 12 kids including 4 sets of twins. i have seen others go through this it is torture. definitely not something that should be done on minors. im 4" 10 myself but proportionate. my son had to go through double hip surgery at 3 and it hurt daily seeing him in pain. his surgery was medically needed, i couldnt imagine putting him through surgeries like they describe. but im glad she got the results she planned. some aren't so lucky
lol my aunt is 4'9 and my mom is 4'11. Honestly she could have had a normal life at 4'6-7. I get having the surgery but damn if it was me I would not get one inch more than necessary.
+Berkeclor92 the concept is the same though breaking the legs and forcing the bones to grow. It doesnt sound appealing in any way shape of or form. Even today with all the advancements we have it is still a very painful procedure to endure
Frying Enigmas painful but with much more success rate, especially the new methods in the last 2 years for less pain. With time things get more advanced and secure.
I'm 5'10 and I've had to have my legs broken and reset but it was so I would have the ability to walk. It was the most painful thing imaginable so I can't even comprehend what she must have gone through
Even though I watched this I don't recall them saying how much taller she is now ... I thought they said 8 inches taller but now I'm not so sure and I scrolled through again and can't find it
It is absolutely different, this difference in height makes it so she can do what normal people can do and make it so she can interact with a world built for normal sized people.
I think what OP means is that it's not a bad thing. there are differences, but over all there's nothing wrong with getting surgery to change something that hinders your everyday life (physically, socially, or emotionally) 👍
she still isn't normal size though, not even close, it wasn't a needed surgery it was wanted just like a nose job or something like that. there was no medical reason she needed this done even if it did make her feel better. she's still very small.
One of my friend had that surgery in Turkey Dec, 2018. And during the recovery process I kept in contact to him. If smo is interested in this surgery, he could share his experience and some info,photo,video etc. about the process. He says Turkey is one of the most preferable ones for this surgery and he was very pleased about the doctors professional work.
When I was a baby the midwife/doctor wanted to do this to my legs as I was "short" my mum never went back to her and at 14 I'm 5"4 and I'm fine with my height cause I'm not small and I'm not like 6" but I'm glad she's happy with herself 😊
I am a woman at 6ft 2 inches tall. When I was little, I prayed I would STOP growing. Now, 50+ years later, I have never stood more tall or proud because each of us are unique, gifted, and beautiful. Of course, no one cries for the runway tall person, but I got bullied and called names growing up.
+randomness051 Guys I found the best website that helps me to gain my height in very short frame of time. I recommend this website to all you guys… Visit GrowTallerTechniques6.blogspot.com for more details......
+randomness051 at age 8 they can barely put their owns shoes on due to short arms. i think you are speaking on a topic you know nill about.. kids with dwarfism are subject to hate and extreme criticism from way earlier than that.. and at that young the healing process is probably easier. to get it done n over with to carry on with life..
+randomness051 and i just wanted to add. a quick google search for people with achondroplasia the average age for the surgery is between 8 and 10 years.. so idk what you are talking about.. it is best while theyre young so they can get the most out of the surgery and continue to grow if you wait till your are done growing you will get the least results.. this is so people can live on their own, have jobs, care for children.. i dont know what you expect
Congratulations! Glad your procedure worked out. There are a lot of brave people in your family. I hope your future is as bright as your past has been.
These things never are such a big deal when it's not YOU. How many people get painful braces, botox injections, boob jobs etc. etc. Probably less risky but still painful.
+Mc Hobbit i see what you are saying. some of us would love what she has and may see it like she has so many wonderful things and its still not enough.
"I don't wish this on anyone but people like you deserve it as you['re] not understanding at all!" I don't need to say much about this sentence. Anyway, back to the point. You look at my comment from the view of someone having more than what she does. I'm looking at this video from my own view, of someone who has less than what she does now. From my world, she has more. From anyone's view that has less than her would see it as so. There are those that wishes for basic necessities, family that care enough to take them to doctor or even able to afford for it. There are simply those of us that couldn't even afford moments to glance in a mirror for moments of self-pity, because that was all the reality that those of us have ever known, and daring to have hoped for more simply never was an option. I do understand that from your view, I am the insensitive A-hole. I can only say, I see the world differently from how you have seen them, that itself breeds various angles and perspectives by itself. So your insult and your "none intended wishes of harm" was unnecessary, please stop proceeding that anyone see the world through your eyes. Anyway ^^, I bid you great weekends.
My uncle had a form of dwarfism but he ended being given hormones when we was really young and now he's a lot bigger. I'm 5'2 and without hormones he would've been 4'6. He does have health problems from it (mainly weight and blood pressure), but he says it was worth it.
Why does their parents choose, why can't the child choose. It's their life not their parents. You talk about it with your parents first. And it's not up to anybody else apart from yourself.
Ranika Dutt Maybe cause her parents paid for it? I doubt this was covered by insurance. And if it left her seriously disabled, they would have to spend hundreds of thousands more taking care of her.
at times, parents must make incredibly difficult medical decisions for their children...decisions that are too complex for a child with limited insight and limited life experiences to make. in this case, the young lady made her own decisions, but she made them with knowledge of what to expect and the risks, and her parents supported her in her choice. it is difficult to see your child suffer physically or emotionally. the process of limb extension is very painful, and even the most cooperative patient can act out negatively while undergoing the process of limb-lengthening ... to the point of sabotaging it at times, even though they initially wanted the procedure.
you would probably not be allowed to get the surgery anyways because you're not a dwarf. At least you're over 5 feet, I'm 4'11" and it has no effect on my independence or my life.
Lisa Ilic That’s not even tall. I’m surprised there are women who want to be that small. I’m 5ft8in and I LOVE IT. I think being that height is sexy, powerful, you draw attention when walking into a room. Everyone thinks you’re a model lol. But to each their own..
M28tan There's a difference between the lord giving us a cure to a disease and some sick twist deciding that mutilating a body is the best way to get it to do something the brain didn't tell it to do. I don't want anybody to agree with me. I know from my experience that the surgery and the longterm problems it causes- not can cause- causes, aren't worth it.
M28tan couldn't that be avoided if she would accept herself for who she is. I have short people problems as well. I can't reach the faucet in the kitchen, can't see myself in the bathroom mirror, I have a stacked washer and dryer and I have to jump inside the washing machine to get anything that's not at the top and I can't reach the dryer. I've always been short and finally stopped growing when I was 10. Unless you have a terminal condition, I think that surgery is for gutless invertebrates who are too petrified to play the cards they are dealt. Being a dwarf who knows a lot more dwarves, we've learned how to adjust. Yes, we do have to do things differently than taller people, but we still get it done. Yes, they're things that I know for a fact I can't do, but they damn sure don't have anything to do with my height. I've always loved my height and never wished I was taller. I honestly don't understand the necessity of the surgery.
Sitting here with a broken ankle feeling sorry for myself, then this pops up on my feed. Changes your perspective quick. What I'm going through is nothing compared to the pain she indured. Made me cry.
they should invest more information into the surgery so that it can be safer, I don't have dwarfism but I am short, I think everyone should have the opportunity to be at least 5'5"
Maria k you don't have problems getting a job? getting a relationship? getting people to take you serious? making friends? reaching stuff that is high? finding clothes that fit?
+Nicole A lol no I don't have any of those problems. Idk if this is a joke or not but it's making me laugh. Can reach for plates and bowls all on my own. For clothes I feel like being short vs being tall while shopping has both there disadvantage.
ahhh tiffanie, you are Awesome!!!!! You are Beautiful, you have such qualities I wish everyone had! Doesn't seem to me you have ever felt sorry for yourself at all, instead you just did what you had to do for you! I admire your strength! You have a gorgeous husband who loves you and babies who are adorable, parents who support you, and unknown friends like me who think your AMAZING!!!! GOD BLESS YOU TIFFANIE, AND YOUR FAMILY!!!!!
I support whatever you do to make you happy but Jen Arnold is only 3 foot 2 inches and she's a Doctor and Married with 2 beautiful children. I think in this case the mother made her feel like she couldn't do these things without surgery which is just not true. As we've seen little people can do just about anything they put their mind to:)
This isn't even about her height just so y'all know. Look at how happy she is! Look at the way she glows when holding her son, look at that smile beaming with pride when she talks about her life and family! THAT is how all of us should live our lives ❤️❤️ she didn't let anything get in the way of her dreams and for that I admire her in the highest of regard. She is a hero 100%
Lengthening surgery is an individual choice w/ both pros & cons. Her post surgical, healed results are beneficial!! What a happy story. Many blessings!!
Limey Figdet Yes, I do every day. I like to make a gratitude list when I'm feeling down or sorry for myself. Now I just look for guys who are 6' or taller.
Captain Picard Not at all. Shorter guys don't like taller women, generally speaking. Not sure if they feel like it undermines their masculinity some way, or if it's a purely sexual thing that they're just into shorter women. Go on a dating site like OKCupid. A lot of the men have a max height they would be interested in set at 5'6".
This is 1 Very brave and awsome lady and she should be praised for having the strength within to put herself through the pain because it's what she wanted if more people were like her and people were as brave and strong as she is then this world would stand a chance , well done beautiful lady for having the courage to live your dream I wish you many happy times to come you deserve it .
I think its controversial since this surgery is performed on minors. So basically the parent is making the decision for them which like the guy in this video could result in problems for life. He had to grow up with worse consequences that were not even his own decision.
that's a very simplistic view. you must be very young. height is NOT all that matters. clearly, it was important to her....but it's not all that mattered out of the surgery and not all that has mattered in her life.
Amazing! I am not moved by much but this got me. She didn't do it for vanity but so she could have what most of us take for granted, complete autonomy. And her husband is right, she served in her own war and survived due to amazing self-sacrifice and dedication.
Massive cringe when the reporter asked "what's it like to have your child cry out in pain?"
Crystal Hay you are the massive cringe
I agree, the reporter was obviously trying to coax a painful emotional response from the father, which she got. But that’s our media for you, total exploitation.
Ann Margret Exactly.
I didn't cringe but I did consciously think that was a fucked up question
And the face she made too!
“as a parent, watching your child cry out in pain, what is that like? " I hate how they always try to make the parents cry cause it makes better tv
It was stupid for her to ask that question.
Zero thirsty as hell
right??? you could tell how uninterested she was.
Zero Lmfao, you're not being a gentleman you're hitting on someone in the CZcams comments about a woman with dwarfism. You sound like you're 10 by saying hold this L. Got anything else?
Camille Pango lol
I feel for the man whose dad forced him to get the surgery. He was content with being a dwarf, and his Dad forced him to change and endangered his physical health in the process. That's fucked.
He definitely should have left that choice up to his child. He had no moral right to make that decision for him.
Russ Singh he probably just wanted to help his son out and make things a little easier on him if he was just a little taller. I’m not saying it’s right cause it’s not. I’m just saying that probably why the dad did it
Master of the obvious also the same reason why you shouldn't give kids hormones
@Austin Martín Hernández I am opposed to it for babies. It must be the choice of individuals.
The little people community looks down on this. I feel like people shouldn't be judged for the things they want to do if it only involves themselves and their own life.
FeelTheLack They aren't against her, just the fact that the surgery is so or can be so dangerous is what they dislike. Also as you realize this is only done when you are a child because bone regeneration is faster then. Not all children can fully grasp the possible down sides of the surgery.

the dad is still affected by it :c
I have one shorter leg and had this done twice. It's the worst thing imaginable. If things go wrong you're stuck with it or you remove the progress and retry it again. The pain is awful as just a given. My personal experience with it caused so many infections and I was on morphine for a year and failed first year certificate for it. It helped but it's the last resort for a lot of people. I applaud her for doing it going through the tears, the sleeplessness,
the helplessness. As long as she's happy this end it was worth it.
I have s short leg too!! Mine is my left leg.
I had this surgery also, I had to have a TSF on my left leg twice and it really sucked, in the end it didn't work and I'm having limb shortening surgery in two weeks.
This was an option for my daughter to fix her legs being different lengths. She choose a different surgery. Her right was her shorter leg. They are now even.
Dude you're amazing. Like a real superhero.
Oh my god she is so pretty. And they are a super cute couple.
Aly Schroeder I know! Her features are great.
Gina Nguyen I honestly think she's pretty ugly. strong women none the less
smashypeople It's okay that you think that. But I genuinely thinks shes a good looking girl.
Gina Nguyen ill be honest myself, shes not very attractive, but shes a fighter you can tell, looks arent always everything and what she lacks in looks she makes up in strength and determination and thats all that matters
David Ayarra We know looks aren't everything and no one said she wasn't strong. I just thought it didn't need to be mentioned because of how it was already portrayed in the video.
I'm 5 ft, pretty damn short but I've accepted it, I can walk, I can hear, I can see, and I can move my arms. Short but blessed.
5 isn't that bad for a girl
Bitch xD
4'10"
5 is pretty normal for a girl. #metoo
thats not 3 feet tall.... you have it good and you are a short woman so guys are okay with you anyways im 5'10
She has beautiful face and her smile too
Lol bro her face is like a solid 4/10....
Well someone has low standards...
jonah So are you saying she isnt ugly?
Girl Onfire At least i'm not a liar. I don't sugarcoat things. I don't say someone is beautiful just because I feel sorry for them.
Wise Owl but why do you have to put that shit out there? think what you want, but this is isn't constructive criticism, so like what's the point?
Another woman where 6 inches isn't enough...
Michael Parker o jeezus
LMAO!
I have a bone disease and surgies suck. Don't mess with the bones. When she gets older she'll be in pain. I've had it since I was 12 and my bones deteriorate.
Rexroybal that's horrible, I'm sorry
Looks like that girl has a good man, too. Why mess with it all?
Good for her, she aimed and she achieved.
To hear her say at the end that she has everything she’s ever wanted, not many people get to that point in their life especially at a younger age. It’s so heartwarming to see. 💗
I feel so bad and sorry for that guy, why would his parents force him like that? Everything is their fault :(
I'm confused. Her mom wanted to make sure she could brush her hair, but her arms are still too short? But her legs are preferred size??
her husband is so handsome!
filigree was
SomeOneToRemember56 What do you mean, did he die or something?
OGSpaceCadet no but as he got older he lost his looks so rip to that .
G Hq shut up stupid and get out your feelings. Your dad must be ugly , because it seems like I hit a nerve.
who gives a fuck if its controversial.
thats what i said!!!!
Diego Barralez she could've died
dwarfism runs in my family. my mom is 4" 5. grandmother id 3" 9 and had 12 kids including 4 sets of twins. i have seen others go through this it is torture. definitely not something that should be done on minors. im 4" 10 myself but proportionate. my son had to go through double hip surgery at 3 and it hurt daily seeing him in pain. his surgery was medically needed, i couldnt imagine putting him through surgeries like they describe. but im glad she got the results she planned. some aren't so lucky
anita varrassi Yea!!! You're fun size!!! I'm 5'8
honestly if I was a dwarf I would embrace it . I would go full hobbit and live in a hole in the ground.
Romanov :D
ikr!
So... Right now you live under a bridge?
loool shots fired
That's fucked up.
There are a lot of women in South East Asia with the regular height of 4feet 10 inches.
Vida M.O. I'm 4 feet 9.5 inches tall and my husband is 6 feet 2 inches.
pseirend I know a couple who are 4'11" and 6'8"
lol my aunt is 4'9 and my mom is 4'11. Honestly she could have had a normal life at 4'6-7. I get having the surgery but damn if it was me I would not get one inch more than necessary.
It's all about proportion
Yeah but originally she was gonna be 3 feet
Limb lengthening has improved since the 80s.
+Berkeclor92 the concept is the same though breaking the legs and forcing the bones to grow. It doesnt sound appealing in any way shape of or form. Even today with all the advancements we have it is still a very painful procedure to endure
Frying Enigmas painful but with much more success rate, especially the new methods in the last 2 years for less pain. With time things get more advanced and secure.
@@ricoflamma5430 But what we really need is a growth plate regeneration method. Hopefully stem cell research figures this out within the next decade.
Did anyone see Gattaca?? The main character had this done in the movie. Great movie btw if you haven't watched it!
Samantha NO WAAAAY DUDE I WATCHED THAT EARLIER IN THE HEAR FOR AP BIO
Yeah! One of my favorites!
TXGA VM lol I also watched it in AP bio class 😂😂😂
Yes!!! I watched it in AP Bio as well 😂
I watched it in 9th grade in my living environment class
I'm happy for her, she has everything she ever wanted despite the difficulties.
Right, most women have hard time having a good husband, a good home, and a child. She should feel be very lucky
I pray for peace and miracles for her.
I'm 5'10 and I've had to have my legs broken and reset but it was so I would have the ability to walk. It was the most painful thing imaginable so I can't even comprehend what she must have gone through
Even though I watched this I don't recall them saying how much taller she is now ... I thought they said 8 inches taller but now I'm not so sure and I scrolled through again and can't find it
There are plenty of little people that are independent and live full and happy lives on their own.
The issue here was the disproportionately short limbs. She's still very short, but can now reach a sink, reach her hair, put on shoes etc.
This is such a beautiful story! Dad broke my heart. Her husband you can see the love in his eyes! And she is beyond strong.
I'm only 4'9" and always hated being smaller than everyone else when I was growing up, but now as an adult I actually like it. It makes me unique.
it's no different than someone getting a nose job or plastic surgery.
It is absolutely different, this difference in height makes it so she can do what normal people can do and make it so she can interact with a world built for normal sized people.
I think what OP means is that it's not a bad thing. there are differences, but over all there's nothing wrong with getting surgery to change something that hinders your everyday life (physically, socially, or emotionally) 👍
she still isn't normal size though, not even close, it wasn't a needed surgery it was wanted just like a nose job or something like that. there was no medical reason she needed this done even if it did make her feel better. she's still very small.
Sean Fisher oh that's the further from the truth. She had to get EXTENSIVE physical therapy. This last yearssssss. What are you even talking about.
you can walk when u get a nose job, so there is a difference, but I see where you're coming from
One of my friend had that surgery in Turkey Dec, 2018. And during the recovery process I kept in contact to him. If smo is interested in this surgery, he could share his experience and some info,photo,video etc. about the process. He says Turkey is one of the most preferable ones for this surgery and he was very pleased about the doctors professional work.
When I was a baby the midwife/doctor wanted to do this to my legs as I was "short" my mum never went back to her and at 14 I'm 5"4 and I'm fine with my height cause I'm not small and I'm not like 6" but I'm glad she's happy with herself 😊
Briony Joseph I'll be 30 in January and you're taller than me by an inch!
|-/
Briony Joseph lol I'm 5'4", were a normal height!
in my school you will be one of the shortest people around Im 14 in the 9th grade and im 5'3 every one calles me short.....
+BaekSoo Kim (미치고) Koreans are taller than most Asians on average. I'm 5'1" so I'd probably be the shortest person.
+Dancingqueen2700 I'm not Asian it's an Exo fan made name in African American but yea Your short like my bestie she is about 4'11
I am a woman at 6ft 2 inches tall. When I was little, I prayed I would STOP growing. Now, 50+ years later, I have never stood more tall or proud because each of us are unique, gifted, and beautiful. Of course, no one cries for the runway tall person, but I got bullied and called names growing up.
you're beautiful. you don't need to put yourself through this pain. you are beautiful!
age 8? that's sick. it was obviously her parents that put the idea in her head. i didn't know limb lengthening existed until this video
+randomness051 anyone who is abnormally short knows about limb lengthening procedure.
+randomness051 Guys I found the best website that helps me to gain my height in very short frame of time. I recommend this website to all you guys… Visit GrowTallerTechniques6.blogspot.com for more details......
+randomness051 dude I'm so happy I started at eight
+randomness051 at age 8 they can barely put their owns shoes on due to short arms. i think you are speaking on a topic you know nill about.. kids with dwarfism are subject to hate and extreme criticism from way earlier than that.. and at that young the healing process is probably easier. to get it done n over with to carry on with life..
+randomness051 and i just wanted to add. a quick google search for people with achondroplasia the average age for the surgery is between 8 and 10 years.. so idk what you are talking about.. it is best while theyre young so they can get the most out of the surgery and continue to grow if you wait till your are done growing you will get the least results.. this is so people can live on their own, have jobs, care for children.. i dont know what you expect
“Why did you fall in love with her?” Wow, that was an offensively worded question
juju on that chang
hey I'm 4'11 and done growing she's not too bad
Ashlee Dixon 4'9 here and happy. 😉
Ashlee Dixon I am 4'11 and I embrace it. 🙂
yes, me too lol
haha my aunt is 4'9 and my mom is 4'11! I am 5'1 and the tallest girl in my family
Ashlee Dixon
I'm 4'9
Beautiful story. I got teary ... may God continue to bless her !
Congratulations! Glad your procedure worked out. There are a lot of brave people in your family. I hope your future is as bright as your past has been.
What an amazing family and wonderful husband she has. So happy she's living life to the fullest!
??? ...... She wanted a normal life. She has got a husband whom loves her for who she is, and a son...... and she wants more?
I know.
These things never are such a big deal when it's not YOU. How many people get painful braces, botox injections, boob jobs etc. etc. Probably less risky but still painful.
+Mc Hobbit i see what you are saying. some of us would love what she has and may see it like she has so many wonderful things and its still not enough.
"I don't wish this on anyone but people like you deserve it as you['re] not understanding at all!" I don't need to say much about this sentence. Anyway, back to the point. You look at my comment from the view of someone having more than what she does. I'm looking at this video from my own view, of someone who has less than what she does now. From my world, she has more. From anyone's view that has less than her would see it as so. There are those that wishes for basic necessities, family that care enough to take them to doctor or even able to afford for it. There are simply those of us that couldn't even afford moments to glance in a mirror for moments of self-pity, because that was all the reality that those of us have ever known, and daring to have hoped for more simply never was an option. I do understand that from your view, I am the insensitive A-hole. I can only say, I see the world differently from how you have seen them, that itself breeds various angles and perspectives by itself. So your insult and your "none intended wishes of harm" was unnecessary, please stop proceeding that anyone see the world through your eyes. Anyway ^^, I bid you great weekends.
She literlly blew the candle and said i have everything I ever wanted
My uncle had a form of dwarfism but he ended being given hormones when we was really young and now he's a lot bigger. I'm 5'2 and without hormones he would've been 4'6. He does have health problems from it (mainly weight and blood pressure), but he says it was worth it.
Good for you Tiffany! I wish you and your family all the best
I honestly think she's kind of pretty.
Your not alone....
Fucked your bitch! What has her being pretty or not got to do with anything?
SimderZ it's just a opinion
Well how magnanamus of you...? Kind of pretty..she is pretty.
Ann Mitchell You’re using a big word yet you didn’t even spell it correctly🤔
I'm glad she has a wonderful husband by her side...what a blessing!
by the way I thank her husband for his service
Why does their parents choose, why can't the child choose. It's their life not their parents. You talk about it with your parents first. And it's not up to anybody else apart from yourself.
the girl did choose...the boy's dad pushed the boy into the surgery.
Ranika Dutt Maybe cause her parents paid for it? I doubt this was covered by insurance. And if it left her seriously disabled, they would have to spend hundreds of thousands more taking care of her.
at times, parents must make incredibly difficult medical decisions for their children...decisions that are too complex for a child with limited insight and limited life experiences to make. in this case, the young lady made her own decisions, but she made them with knowledge of what to expect and the risks, and her parents supported her in her choice. it is difficult to see your child suffer physically or emotionally. the process of limb extension is very painful, and even the most cooperative patient can act out negatively while undergoing the process of limb-lengthening ... to the point of sabotaging it at times, even though they initially wanted the procedure.
It has to be done before puberty when the ends of bone fuse permanently in the arms and legs- limited window of time.
Apparently it is up to others
Im 6'3 and im always at risk of drowning.
Machucando drowning? why?
@@nekozombie drowning in pussy cos my nigga is a 6 footer
im 5.25ft, if it was safe i would've done it, to each his own, why r ppl sticking their smelly nose in other ppl's business?
What? She's the one that decided to air her business out to the world
Jemma J I'm 5'6 and since I was young I always wished I was so much shorter. Always wanted to be a short girl.
you would probably not be allowed to get the surgery anyways because you're not a dwarf. At least you're over 5 feet, I'm 4'11" and it has no effect on my independence or my life.
+Shrimp King
not allowed because it isnt safe.. otherwise it would've been like butt implant in popularity
Lisa Ilic That’s not even tall. I’m surprised there are women who want to be that small. I’m 5ft8in and I LOVE IT. I think being that height is sexy, powerful, you draw attention when walking into a room. Everyone thinks you’re a model lol. But to each their own..
She's taller than me. I was offered, but opted out of the surgery. I feel God made me 4 foot 8 inches for a reason, but for each his own.
Tay'Lor Turnipseed Amen.🌷
Tay'Lor Turnipseed Well I feel like the lord gives these opportunities to us for a reason as well
M28tan There's a difference between the lord giving us a cure to a disease and some sick twist deciding that mutilating a body is the best way to get it to do something the brain didn't tell it to do. I don't want anybody to agree with me. I know from my experience that the surgery and the longterm problems it causes- not can cause- causes, aren't worth it.
Tay'Lor Turnipseed Its all in his design anyway, the aftermath of the surgery could lead to conflict that follows that design
M28tan couldn't that be avoided if she would accept herself for who she is. I have short people problems as well. I can't reach the faucet in the kitchen, can't see myself in the bathroom mirror, I have a stacked washer and dryer and I have to jump inside the washing machine to get anything that's not at the top and I can't reach the dryer. I've always been short and finally stopped growing when I was 10. Unless you have a terminal condition, I think that surgery is for gutless invertebrates who are too petrified to play the cards they are dealt. Being a dwarf who knows a lot more dwarves, we've learned how to adjust. Yes, we do have to do things differently than taller people, but we still get it done. Yes, they're things that I know for a fact I can't do, but they damn sure don't have anything to do with my height. I've always loved my height and never wished I was taller. I honestly don't understand the necessity of the surgery.
the lady with dwarfism kid is named TITAN omg in dying
So basically the moral of the story is to not push your dwarf child to have surgeries. Let ten decide and inform them of the risks.
This girl is amazing.... good for her what a beautiful family!!
Beautiful story and I support whatever way you want in life, but everything just safe and healthy and happy.
This would be controversial if it was an average height person doing this, like in that movie Gattaca with Ethan Hawke.
Sitting here with a broken ankle feeling sorry for myself, then this pops up on my feed. Changes your perspective quick. What I'm going through is nothing compared to the pain she indured. Made me cry.
This guys eyes are WAY to close to each other..
yes omg its so distracting
Yes. But he wasn't always that way. He had surgery to make them closer together. He also had surgery to make his mouth smaller. It was huge before.
+Scott Diamond lmao 👌
they should invest more information into the surgery so that it can be safer, I don't have dwarfism but I am short, I think everyone should have the opportunity to be at least 5'5"
Nicole A I agree
What? 5'5? I'm 5'1-5 feet and no problems lol
Maria k you don't have problems getting a job? getting a relationship? getting people to take you serious? making friends? reaching stuff that is high? finding clothes that fit?
+Nicole A lol no I don't have any of those problems. Idk if this is a joke or not but it's making me laugh. Can reach for plates and bowls all on my own. For clothes I feel like being short vs being tall while shopping has both there disadvantage.
Maria k it's not a joke, I'm shorter than you but I have those problems
My teacher from fifth grade was born his right leg shorter than her left leg so he went through this surgery to match his right leg with his left leg
I hate to watch people go through pain it makes me so sick I know she's happy now so that's good
Good for her!I dont think there's anything wrong with her having surgery.hell if people can get cosmetic surgeries to feel better about themselves.
ahhh tiffanie, you are Awesome!!!!! You are Beautiful, you have such qualities I wish everyone had! Doesn't seem to me you have ever felt sorry for yourself at all, instead you just did what you had to do for you! I admire your strength! You have a gorgeous husband who loves you and babies who are adorable, parents who support you, and unknown friends like me who think your AMAZING!!!! GOD BLESS YOU TIFFANIE, AND YOUR FAMILY!!!!!
that's awesome! I support her (:
Me too =)
Sabrina Copass who cares :¬)
Jon John
well I do. soo...
Sabrina Copass fair enough
Jon John hahaha
Her soul is so beautiful .. she has this innocence when she smiles! What a humble and lovely lady..❤️
I support whatever you do to make you happy but Jen Arnold is only 3 foot 2 inches and she's a Doctor and Married with 2 beautiful children. I think in this case the mother made her feel like she couldn't do these things without surgery which is just not true. As we've seen little people can do just about anything they put their mind to:)
What a lovely and courageous lady. Feel bad for the guy whose surgery didn’t go well though.
What really bothered me is @ 3:21 someone left that drawer slightly opened. Hopefully some one closed it!
mouasimon1 haha! You got OCD too!
How sad in this day and age we have an inability to accept who we are... as we are.
I'm 6'4" with a bad back. I'd rather be short with no back pain.
but you can have a bad back while you're short too! just work on your posture lol... tall men have a huge advantage.
jer1230 Can't win for loosing...just shoot me.
You havent ever met a short woman with a big bust have you? They have many back problems.
I'm short and have back pain. Though I heard it's worse if you are taller
I’m 5-11 and my back hurts too.
This isn't even about her height just so y'all know. Look at how happy she is! Look at the way she glows when holding her son, look at that smile beaming with pride when she talks about her life and family! THAT is how all of us should live our lives ❤️❤️ she didn't let anything get in the way of her dreams and for that I admire her in the highest of regard. She is a hero 100%
I'm 4'11 and I would give anything to just be a little bit taller.
Shasta Holly there are tribes around the world with that being the average height.
Shasta Holly gurl its easier to kick a man where the sun don't shine being short
sarah It's just everything in my house is up high and I can barely reach the gas pedal in most cars :(
Same. Not even that much. Just like three inches. Why are shelves so tall?
man the people who do that surgery also have crazy scar.
Lengthening surgery is an individual choice w/ both pros & cons. Her post surgical, healed results are beneficial!! What a happy story. Many blessings!!
I'm a 5' 11" woman. I used to wish to be shorter. Not many guys want to date a girl taller than they are.
Oh well, count your blessings.
Count your blessings.
You''ll never be a LITTLE old lady
Limey Figdet Yes, I do every day. I like to make a gratitude list when I'm feeling down or sorry for myself. Now I just look for guys who are 6' or taller.
Pickles Don't like the short guys?
Captain Picard Not at all. Shorter guys don't like taller women, generally speaking. Not sure if they feel like it undermines their masculinity some way, or if it's a purely sexual thing that they're just into shorter women. Go on a dating site like OKCupid. A lot of the men have a max height they would be interested in set at 5'6".
This is 1 Very brave and awsome lady and she should be praised for having the strength within to put herself through the pain because it's what she wanted if more people were like her and people were as brave and strong as she is then this world would stand a chance , well done beautiful lady for having the courage to live your dream I wish you many happy times to come you deserve it .
I don't see the issue?
Roy Senpai's Fan Club I love your profile pic
Shilo Turner thx homie
Cookie dough explain
Cookie dough I know her medical problem, but I don't see the issue with her getting the surgery and how it's controversial
I think its controversial since this surgery is performed on minors. So basically the parent is making the decision for them which like the guy in this video could result in problems for life. He had to grow up with worse consequences that were not even his own decision.
I don't think I've ever been so happy for some stranger from some offhand YT video on a "bored" binge.
very inspiring story. no matter what pain she suffered, she was able to gain height. that is all that matters.
that's a very simplistic view. you must be very young. height is NOT all that matters. clearly, it was important to her....but it's not all that mattered out of the surgery and not all that has mattered in her life.
nowvoyagerNE it's what matters, because it's what matters to HER.
MisMediator sorry...i don't buy that either.
My 2 month old just got her vaccines and hearing her scream was incredibly heart breaking to me.I cried with her so is hard hearing your child in pain
She wants to be taller and she did it, very good . She is happy now .
Eric Alderman Evil liar.
5:20 The way he looks at her 💕 So sweet!
She Forgot About Her Arms 😐
She elongated her arms as much as she could. Did you miss that?
Her Body Is Still Like An Dwarfs, I Mean She's 4'10 Now But Her Arms Aren't Fitted With Her Body Anymore.
T REX?
Amazing! I am not moved by much but this got me. She didn't do it for vanity but so she could have what most of us take for granted, complete autonomy. And her husband is right, she served in her own war and survived due to amazing self-sacrifice and dedication.
What a great husband she has, and beautiful little boy.
I live down the street from her, great lady. Saw her yesterday and she’s fourteen feet tall now. So proud! Go on girl!
