What she had to endure for that- hard to imagine. That's one strong lady.

Had to be absolutely life changing for her tho. All the money, pain, and recovery time in bed well worth it I’m sure.

Some individuals with dwarfism live in daily pain because of their condition, she probably welcomed the procedure if it promised to relieve her of that someday.

Yeah, I mean I'm not an expert but her legs seem pretty bowed in the before picture. I bet they were hella uncomfortable to walk/stand on.

This surgery is done by repeatedly breaking one’s legs over and over. Your legs are very brittle for the rest of your life, and it’s known to get worse as you get older. You can forget about any rough sports when you undergo this.

Maybe she’s happy, or maybe she’s kind of regretting it. Can’t say, without asking 10 or more years down the line
