Disproportionate skeletal growth

I found out 7 months ago that I have disproportionate skeletal growth...my legs are relatively tall when compared with my trunk...(disproportionate limb/trunk ratio)...I'm 20 years old and 181 cm tall...this sentence explains it a little "I'm shorter when I sit down"

*How this affects my life:

Well many may see this as not big of a deal but believe me it hurts me emotionally knowing that I have such a defect in my body...I can't pick clothes properly I always have problems when trying them on or buying them...people give me weird looks in the street...my self-confidence is gowing down big time...I always feel different when I'm with people...like they're all normal and I'm not...this has been bothering me for a long time now and I can't talk about it to anybody...I tried talking about it to my father but he didn't care and he told me to forget it...



*I just want to ask if there are any methods to fix this, does medicine provide a way to alter bone growth after bone ossification (20 years old) ?

*What is the cause of this ? what hormones, glands, or genetic factors ?

*Is this common in people ?

You can increase the length of your legs by ilizarov technique but not "vice versa"
Surgically it is not possible to increase your upper body length. Hormones also act as a whole and it is difficult to increase only the upper body leaving the lowe body. Drugs & Hormones are also injurious to you on long run.
Every individual is special and at your age it is very difficult, i understand and without any medical or surgical defect it is not good to go for medical interventions. You are healthy and normal Take care!
