Full body asymmetry - Hemihypertrophy
Since years my whole left side of the body is increasing. Doctor said this cant happen and also changes were not visible then. Now from head to toe. My whole left side of the body has increased significantly both bones and muscles. Even left side of my tongue has increased. I looked up online it showed hemihypertrophy. Before it gets worse and asymmetry gets out of hand. I want to take a treatment. When will overgrowth stop and which specialist should I consult.?
