She grew 13 inches—here’s how it changed her life

Chandler Crews, born with achondroplasia, made a bold choice at 16: she underwent a series of limb-lengthening surgeries that added 13 inches to her height and transformed her daily life. The process was grueling, costly (nearly $2 million), and controversial—even within the dwarfism community. But for Crews, the results meant newfound independence: she can now reach the top of her head, drive more safely, and feel more at ease in a world built for average heights. Her journey raises big questions about body autonomy, medical choices, and what it means to truly belong. What’s your take on her decision? #Health #BodyHealth #BodyAutonomy
