Leg lengthening surgery is on the rise – but why?
has revealed that a shocking one-in-10 16-24-year-olds are considering getting leg lengthening surgery.
The extreme operation can cause you to grow between three and six inches, and can set you back by nearly £70k, yet it’s growing in popularity.The study also found that the most popular surgeries are teeth veneers and hair transplants , full jaw reconstruction , and 8% would undergo penile augmentation.
It’s not always used for aesthetic reasons. Some people get the surgery on one leg if one is naturally shorter than the other. With leg lengthening, typically the tibia bone is cut straight across, and a fixator brace device is attached, which has a bar that’s twisted every day very slowly so that the two sides of the tibia are pulled apart — sounds lovely.Bone is created in the space in between, hence the added length. The whole process can take several months.
