Thank you for your question.It appears that you have genetically smaller bones than the average person. See your regular doctor to make certain that you do not have a medical condition.Otherwise, continue working out at the gym to add muscle mass which can camouflage smaller bones.

To be sure, see your regular doctor and two or more board
certified and experienced plastic surgeons in your area for a full and complete
evaluation.

I hope this helps.
