A new report has come out to reveal that the latest surgical fad to affect men revolves around lengthening the legs, especially in shorter men. The surgery, which costs thousands of dollars and was previously used to treat skeletal dysplasia, bone growth problems and differences in bone length, is now believed to be increasingly used to increase the height of shorter men. .
As noted in a Sky News report, the procedure is a gradual process that sees the bones and soft tissue around them constantly increase in length, and although it takes months of recovery to get through the surgery, the Dr Shahab Mahbouian of The Height Lengthening Institute in California says he has performed almost twice as many surgeries this year as three years ago.
Would leg-lengthening surgery be something you would consider or do you think it’s just another weird fad?
