Texas Man Undergoes Cosmetic Limb-Lengthening Surgery To Be 6 Foot 1



https://www.unilad.co.uk/life/texas-...o-be-6-foot-1/
Alfonso Flores, 28, from Dallas, Texas, has wanted to be taller ever since the age of 12 and finally underwent the surgery seven months ago to achieve his ideal height.
Previously 5ft 11, Alfonso is now 6ft 1, and was able to walk just 24 hours after his surgery.

To achieve his new height, Alfonso’s legs were broken in two places and a state-of-the-art telescopic rod was implanted into the cartilage of the bone. The device was then pulled apart gradually so that it slowly separated the two bone segments.
New living bone then grew to fill the gap created, increasing the overall length of the limb.
Discussing the matter, he said to the Mail Online, ‘I know 5’11’ is a great height, and many people would love to be that tall, but I wanted just a little more than that. This is something that I’ve really wanted to do as far as I can remember – since I was 12.’

75k + 20k additional cost

problem with these surgeries is that they make you a cripple early in life

He will always have chicken legs. Imagine doing squats or leg press on thin bone legs

Go some bad news too if your height starts with anything but a 1 or 2. You're most likely a yankee who lacks education and still uses a centuries old metric system that doesn't make a lot of sense.

Don’t blame me for that chit, I use the system that the country uses. I much prefer metric, but you know we can’t switch now.

There's practically zero point in being tall, outside of sports. Pathetic.

Between 150 and 200 years ago (several hundreds of years ago in some cases) I think (possibly earlier), there were two procedures. One was apparently, according to the records and accounts, a form of extended torture. The other - albeit questionable in its veracity - was apparently a form of "lengthening the body". I don't think the second procedure really worked, but this reminded me of these two historical procedures...

Lol at him for thinking it makes any difference. I still get ghosted 75 percent of time.

Incredibly stupid decision.

All in just a moment. And then, are embraced by the eternal sleep called death."
