Essentially, they surgically break your legs and then screw each end to part of a brace that holds them apart, and everytime they start to grow together, the screws in each end of the brace are widened so your bones have to grow a bit more to try to heal. In the end, you'll be lucky if you've grown two inches.

For the most part though I am happy with the way I look.

I have complained before that I'm tired of my belly looking like a bald scrotum.
I know it's not very natchural and all that, but I want a tummy tuck, a boob job, some lipo, and maybe get rid of the varicose veins in back of one knee and some laser hair removal. Not that I'll ever be able to afford all that, but if I were rich, I'd do it for sure.
I've gained (and lost) collectively 110 lbs between my two pregnancies, mostly in the belly. To put that in perspective, my normal weight range is only 140-150. I used to have to have a flat, toned tummy, until then. I knew I'd get stretchmarks because I'm prone to them, I just didn't know I'd end up with this ballsacky belly pooch that hangs over the top of all but the mom-iest high-waisted jeans. My abs are firm underneath all that skin, so heck yeah I want that crap gone!
And my boobs are like tube socks full of jello now that I'm not nursing; I consider a boob job purely restorative at this point. The rest is self explanatory.
Wow, I sound like a real winner now, don't I?
