surgery to make him TALLER! ARE YOU KIDDIN ME? He was 5'3 tall 9 months ago and after the surgery he is now 5'9. TALK ABOUT LOW SELF ESTEEM.

umm how is that even possible. and if that makes him feel better about himself, then why not.

It CAN happen. Technology isn't primitive anymore. There was something about that on Ripley's last year where a 4'8" 18 year old female got surgery like this...Her dream job was to be a plane stewardess, but their height requirement was 5'3", so she went for it....

BTW she got the job :D

It involves pins & screws and is VERY painful surgery.

someone at my school had or will be having that done. i dont know how they do it.. ive yet to see this person either. i just remember people talking about it awhile back. i say its their own choice. it's not as stupid as breast implants.

It's just a very stupid story. I hope i don't think about it on a crowded elevator.

why? because you'll laugh?

Breast Implants and Height Surgery is WACKO. I'm mean come on, asking to be taller? I work with a guy who is 5'3 and he would never do anything that dumb.

then you must get a lot of laughs from your own life experiences.

It's his body. Why should you care what he does to it?

That's cool. I didn't know they could do that. Does it make your whole body look longer and taller, or just your legs? If it made your whole body look longer and wasn't so painful/expensive...I'd have it done too. I'm only 5'1.

There's nothing wrong with being short! I can't believe this attitude. Look, at 5'1" you're still taller than Dolly Parton :D

I was always the shortest kid in my class, and it bugged me then, but honestly, I came to realize that nobody really cares. If you want to be taller, where high-heels ;)

I dont mind being short that much, but a lot of tall girls are built really slim and I'd love to be like that. And, I'm not graceful enough to wear high heels...:crazy: :D

Dang... didn't realize all those celebrites were so short! I'm 5'9" and I'm only 15 1/2. My dad is 6'4", so I expect to be tall as well. As long as I am not fat, I will be fine(which right now, I'm skinny), of course, so was my dad when he was a teenager. Not now. LOL

Me too. I was always the tallest girl growing up (I was 5'2 in the 5th grade) but by 8th grade I was 5'4 and stopped growing. I've always wanted to be 5'6 but I like my height now because if I wear anything with heels I'm at a height that I like and people always tell me that I look taller than I am.

That is so weird! I've never heard of that before, very interesting. I'm 5'1" and I really don't see what the big deal with height is. I really don't care, it's annoying when people confuse me as a child though. But other than that, I don't mind. Actually, I do... :lol:


"Would you like the children's menu?" I swear I was asked that before at a restaurant, I'm 17 BTW. But anyways, I do find that interesting. I had no idea there was a such surgery as that, kinda weird.

People put too much emphasis on height. Short is cute.

I read an article about this procedure in a magazine a few months ago.
Basically, they break your shinbones and install these braces on your legs that create a small space between the broken bones where new bone matter grows. Then every few days the patient makes a slight adjustment in the braces to increase the space.

The process takes several months, and the patient is in constant mind numbing pain.

Sounds like a great way to grow an extra inch.

;)

I once saw a program on TV about a dwarf who had that surgery done. I think what they did was break his leg bones and then separated the two pieces with pins then new bone grew into the empty space making him a few inches taller. So yes It just made his legs longer. He only had it done to make it easier to reach things and function in a world designed for average sized people.

I'm sure that being short is harder for a man. Too bad we all can't be perfect like you Solomon! :rolleyes: And I have learned in life to "Never say never" . ohno: You will learn that too when you grow up!:p

some 14 year old girl did that on ripleys believe it or not.

never.

I used to hate being 5'3'', but now I love it. I love being able to shop in the petite sections of stores. The clothing is great.

Negative he is only 5'3"
Positive he gets all the women he wants

I'm 5'7. I never liked being tall, but now I don't really care.

That happens to me too :lol:
I'm 18 and 5'2'', I get in places for 12 and under all the time, get asked about the menu, get confused with 7th graders.... :rolleyes:


But I wouldnt change my height, I can do that with heels.

I'm 5'1" but I love being short. That way I can wear any heels I want and I don't have to worry about guys being shorter than me.

I am 5'5" A good height I think!:D

I am 5'2" and people like short women for some strange reasons!!

I'm 5'8''...and I know some guys are intimadated by that...sure the guys my age would grow, but if you were stuck 5'3'' for the rest of your life...ehh...

5'8 for a female is sexy

Height implants are EXTREMELY painful. There was a big article a year or 2 ago in Cosmo about it. A lot of Chinese women get it because theyre so short. Its a long and grueling surgery where they cut open your legs, put in the screws, and literally stretch out your legs. Why anyone would want to do that to themselves is beyond me. There are always detours to get around things. Wear shoes with heels. I want bigger boobs so I wear a padded push up bra. I understand she wants to be a stewardess, but come on...

I wished that I was in-between 5'4"-5'7" and weight in-between 110-125 pounds!! Like a model!!

Wow, ur like 10 inches taller than me! :lol: But that's cool. I'd love to be that tall. And I was being kinda sarcastic....I know most of them probably do weigh more than that, they just don't show it because of their height. You lucky thing, you can pig out all day and never even show it! :p
