A 29 year old woman kept a blog about her leg lengthening procedure for right leg. 

Why did she do such a thing?  Well, like myself, she has one leg that is longer than the other, and it caused her sever back and pelvis pain.  She explains herself more in her second entry.

Lots of interesting pictures, and  here are a few facts she noted:
