A member asked:
Is having a long face considered a deformity and is there another way to address it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: In some cultures, a long face is considered a mark of beauty. Unless there are skeletal deformities, a long face is not a deformity. If a person is self-conscious, clothing helps modify the appearance by changing the neckline or collar.

Can you really measure head and femur lenghts in ultrasound? What does that mean? I had an ultrasound done on my 26 week old baby and the doctor said the femur length measued 26 weeks, but the head an abdomen were 29 weeks. Is this a sign of a deformity
