- David underwent a cosmetic procedure to gain some extra height going from 5’7 to 5’9, which he was very happy with. David admits that the recovery was long and hard, but he’s very happy with the results and shares that he would do it again. Orthopedic surgeon Dr. Kevin Debiparshad shares that it’s a popular procedure in his practice, but ER physician Dr. Travis Stork shares that it definitely sounds extreme.

I'm 5'3 and I'm 22. For me to be 5'6 would mean so much. Some people don't understand how your height for shorter people can affect you. 5'7 is not short, that's something I can only dream of.

@@gotanything2820 shit man, you'll probably be 5'8" when your 21.
I like when the older doctor pointed out that younger doctor shouldn’t be judging because he is tall. He doesn’t know what insecurities short people go through so it’s insensitive of him to judge the man.
@@carlaandreina5554 irrelevant to original comment but okay.
As a small person, it is my dream as well as joy to get bigger. I was 158cm right after using this method *4GrowTaller. Com* . I obtained 5cm now i am 163. Here is what you should know. If you think that it`s going to work, it will, however if you take method and also believing that its doing nothing maybe it won`t work well..
Tall people also have a lot of insecurities and problems with their height. they really invalidated him using his height as a reason he couldn't understand when he very much so probably does understand.

It's not like he said one morning "I want to break my spine so that I can be taller" it's not that simple. He had his insecurities for a long time, we may point out whether he needs a psychs help or not, but not his procidure as 'unnecesary'
I clearly see the difference because my younger brother is 6' (I'm 5'8") and we are treated differently in groups. There's automatic respect that's given to him without him doing anything, whereas I'm ignored being the same way. Sometimes even disrespected. And that's the reality. Don't criticize this man, criticize the world that treats him differently based on his height.
People need to understand that breaking a bone from an injury is not the same as a surgically controlled break. The former has a lot of other trauma associated with it that can make the pain excruciating (like damaged nerves). The nerves in our limbs are physiologically inclined to extend which is how we grow taller during puberty. The operation keeps a majority of the nerves intact and slowly stretches the broken bone. If you can afford to get it done from an experienced physician, this procedure isn't unreasonable at all.
Follow the channel ‘break my legs’ almost three years post op and he still hasnt gained near 100% of his mobility back. You can still see the akwardness in his movements. I pray that he fully recovers. But anybody saying that you get your full mobility and power back after just one year is lying to you! Almost three whole years and this guy still cant even squat a mild load even paralell, letalone ass to grass. Or even run with a normal gait. I hope he gets his full mobility back. But sheesh, think extremely carefully before you even try something like this. Experienced physician or not.

@@darththork99 A few? Be honest. Do you go outside? Or are you just a teenager. It's normal for teens to only go for looks. I did.
@@user-jc6ek5tg1o It's normal for females to go only for looks when selecting a mate. Regardless of paternal investment, if she has a son, that son has a chance of inheriting those looks, and thus has a higher chance of being selected as a mate by females. As for paternal investment, the state provides countless welfare programs, and she has the option of settling down with another man who has resources, using paternity fraud if necessary.
@@darththork99 Being of average height or shorter doesn't make you instantly unattractive. There's women shorter than you who would go for you. It's rarer of a 160cm tall woman to go for a 200cm man, than to go for a little bit taller.

As someone who's 5'7, being able to be 6 foot tall or higher would be absolutely life changing for me. Sure, it'll be a tough year of recovery, but what's one year compared to ending a lifetime of prejudice. Easy trade for me.
If only I had that kind of money.
@@yamcha8309 Arms are generally long enough to reach the middle of the thigh. This is a general rule and not everyone hits that point naturally. Some have longer arms and some have shorter. So even if the surgery throws this off a little, it still looks natural and proportional.
In my case specifically, my legs are shorter proportionally to my torso so lengthening them would make my whole body look more evenly proportional.
You might suffer in that area when you get old. Deep search before you opts for it.

I know that tall people commonly say that being shorter is better. But often they don't really know the burden behind the phrase being tall is not that "big of a deal" or "trust me you're fine". Sometimes the minor luxuries can be in essence the Merit of gold for others. People don't see the glaring views of society and in every moment for even something as trivial like the difficulty of shopping with the fear knowledge you will forever be judged and will degrade your self-esteem.
If that Doctor was 5'4 instead of 6'4 he'd still be a doctor... but he wouldn't have had a career on TV.
Facts 🤣
Maybe not, taller students sometimes have more support, so they get better results.
I just watched a video of a little person who did this. She said it actually helped with some of her medical issues. She went from a little person to someone that was just a little short.
At 6-5 he's spent his life walking into practically every situation and being the tallest guy there.He has no idea what it's l;ike, how humiliating it can be, to walk into the same room and be the shortest guy there, The guy literally everyone looks over the head of. It;s always the same, the guy with the full head of hair asks why would anyone have a hair transplant, someone with plenty of money will say money is no big deal.
Or a white person saying “racism isn’t real! It’s all about mentality.”
its not just because being self conscious. studies have proven that taller people get more promotions and are taken more seriously in life and at workplace. being tall can et you a long way in life. being 28 and 5'6 i get looked over all the time, literally.
All of these studies mean NOTHING for you on a Individual level. There are unsuccessful tall people, there are attractive bald men, there are homeless people with jawlines to be CEO-top-models, there are very successful short guys...
The thing is if your insecurities push you to the point where you are willing to break your own legs and...let this sink in... RELEARN TO WALK there are deeper rooted issues than 2 Inches of height. There's no chance the exact same insecurities won't manifest somewhere else. Don't preach some studies you probably haven't even read to justify your sorrow. It's easier to find excuses than face yourself, your trauma, your mental health and actually start working on yourself from within first. I know it sucks to not fit the perfect beauty standard, but that's human.

Quit telling people what to do cause you have a close minded view of the world. Plus you're tall you have no clue what he went trough. Im glad he's happy and lives in a world where this is now possible.
Everyone in the world has insecurities. Everyone. No exceptions. But there are two types of people:
- people who accept their insecurities and move on.
- people who actually go out and DEAL with their insecurities
I don’t understand why there is such a stigma against people who get this surgery. For years, us guys under 5’10 are told “worry about the things you CAN control.” Well now we CAN control this (assuming we have the money), but when people get the surgery, people say “aww but you were fine just the way you were.” They just don’t get it. If money was not an issue, I would do this in a heartbeat.
true. breaking bones purposefully seems so extreme. but you look around and see soooo many advantages of being a taller man especially. im 6 feet and i still see it. people that are promoted in corporations, or are listened to and taken seriously by people and in the dating world. when youre a short man it is soooo much harder. people are willing to do the surgery and grow 5 inches. thats a huge difference. being 6 feet like me or 6'5' like doc. he really doesnt know
Doesn’t matter. I know a guy who’s 6’4 and he still isn’t satisfied with his height. Depends of how you want your body to be
For tall man its very easy to gain attention when speaking and also to be taken seriously. Majority of succesful CEOs and politicians are tall because with good height its easier to make position for yourself among social groups compared to equally skilled shorter guys. If I was really short I would risk this shit.
This 6’5 guy calling this surgery “extreme” sounds like a self righteous prick. And the others were well within their right to call him on it. What may seem like a lot of money, time and pain all for a couple inches to a tall man may mean a whole world of difference to a shorter man. Especially since the taller man likely has never had to face the kind of discrimination that many shorter men endure on a daily basis. I respect how the patient kept his cool, because I swear I would have cursed Chad out. It’s people like him that don’t understand the chain of cause and effect. If people didn’t put tall men on a pedestal, surgeries like these wouldn’t be in such high demand.

Everyone has their own perspective, there are shorter people who wants to get taller, there's taller people who actually want to be shorter for a few inches. And there's actually people who are very contented and confident with what they have, even knowing that they would not reach the height that they desire, they stay confident. You should be part of those people, height doesn't matter if you know yourself that you have the advantage in your own ways, if you know that you're better at them at some things, if you know that you're much more motivated and hardworking than them. Heights don't matter as long as you stay happy with what your life has given you.
The first comment i read that is actually true
That’s true. But if it’s a nagging thought for 2+ years, and surgery is the only way of fixing this, then it can be considered.
Motivation and hardworking mindset is the name of game. Competence regardless physical state is what makes males attractive.
If they ever perfect this, faster recovery, more inches, etc. I would so do it.

@@aubrey5577 Hard flex
As a 5'8 male, I may be considered short in Western countries standards, but what has personally helped me was hitting the gym hard. Building a strong frame has helped to justify my height to the point where I've dated girls who were the same height as me or an inch taller. That's my personal experience though, I don't know about anyone else
Same height, but in my case women did not have interest on me.

No, it isn’t. I don’t have artistic talent, creativity or vocal gifts. When I was younger I always thought I would grow more because I was 5’4” at 14 which is almost average but I didn’t grow at all after 14 except for a few centimetres.

I would love to be taller but wouldn’t want to go through this. They are right in considering that since he was unhappy with his height and had the means to get this done, then ultimately it’s his decision. Overall, more women can get away with being shorter than the national average versus men in this judgmental society... Wish the judgmental attitude didn’t exist but it sometimes does. I never even knew this type of elective surgery existed.
"Sometimes" you mean most women care. Something like 94% of women if I remembered correctly.
Part of being a Man in today’s society is protection and being short is a huge discouragement especially for women who expect that
@@Jprager Yeah, part of being a masculine alpha Chad is tall height. If you're under 5'9, it's over.
Jonathan Peres If you’re rich or even semi rich you can get away with being short. At that point I’d personally just stay single anyway. A bit of a turn off that I’d only be an option for that reason.

Nice 😂
Dr Donghoon Lee in Korea is famous for doing these surgeries. Many patients came to him with surgery complications from other hospitals. His charge is A LOT less than in the US.
I did this to correct my knock-knees. I did it mainly for that, but I went from 5’9 to 5’10.5. Worth it - but it wasn’t as painful tbh
Where did you get it done? I'm 6 foot 3 but I have knock knees and wouldn't mind being a little taller.

I think the body image issues should be confronted first, he’s had other work done on his face as well . These procedures are probably better for adults under 5 ft. There should be a height restriction to determine a patient’s eligibility for this procedure, like weight loss surgeries.
yes, height limit 5'9
Indeed, he clearly has some type of body dysmorphia.
For women, it's weight and chest size. For men it's height and appendage. and we will all do whatever it takes to make improvements if there was a way.

I gained 8cm using this method on my femurs, very painfull multiple complications requiring 4 extra operations, 5 years later I still have reduced knee movement, stiff knees and weak femurs.
Does it affect joint stabillity, those streched muscles? I recon patella would suffer from tight quadriceps.
@@ivanmatusic5540 Patella seems stable so far, but constant pain. Tension in distal lateral femur, lost ROM (~10 degrees) in ROM on left leg.
Somewhat alleviated by using kneeling chair to stretch knees and anterior femur muscle - still not able to walk beyond few klm's without needing to slow down because of tension in lateral/Atn femur muscle/fascia.
Almost totally unable to run due to tight femurs.
Stomach protruding due to tight hips.
Now riding electric bike to rehab and have some quality of life outdoors.
aching femurs every night, sleep on stomach sometimes to stretch contracting femurs ad reduce pain.
Surgeon has advised nothing more can be done, I will continue riding/stretching and hope old age/time will loosen femurs further.
How old are you?
I did it recently and I'm fine. Barely any pain.
@@Ray-ko mid 50's
To go from 5'5 to near 6 foot would be amazing. People keep spreading this misinformation that you'll never be able to jump again yet people break bones and grow new connections all the time at no risk of being cripple unless they just dont allow it heal correctly ..Being a new height would give me the drive to take even better care of my new legs. Id probably be chugging milk n doing so many squats that my bones would be better than before.. not only would the results inspire you to take better care of yourself but this medical procedure has been well practiced for a long time to fix deformaties, why is it being stigmatized now that its being used cosmetically? It's not fair that fat women can pay to be smaller or skinny girls can pay to be busty. Yet a short guy can't pay to be a few inches taller without everyone becoming a medical practitioner 😂😂
Agree, when woman do plastics surgey like face, breast, ass or anything they have no problem but when short guy trying to taller they complain so much
@@kayabayunreu6092when women do plastic surgery they get bashed on just as much, what world are you living on? They also get name called and shamed for having plastic surgery. Stop with this victim mindset
i went from 5'6'' to 5'11.5'' through surgery, and i pretty much recovered completely. People are idiots when it comes to LL. A controlled break that is monitored by an expert throughout the the entire process, there is very very slim chance someone would be crippled by this. Heck, it's a damn lot safer than driving a car.
Or when transgender people surgically transition, people say “yeah you go! Do what makes you happy! Power to you! You’re a warrior!”
When a straight cisgender male gets surgery to be taller, everyone says “noooo! Don’t do that! You were fine just the way you were!”🙄
The difference is that if I got this surgery, I would ACTUALLY be tall. I would function as a tall man. I would be over six feet when I measure myself. If I had gender affirming care, I wouldn’t REALLY be a woman. I’d just be a man… with a mutilated penis.
I'm 5'7.5 And I don't care much about it when I think of a guy shorter than me.
I'm 20 and still growing, 3 months ago I was 5'6.
What am I doing?
- Strict Diet (2 glasses of Milk each day)
- Workout and stretches (No weights)
- No Fap (or just limit the frequency per month as much you can to boost testosterone level hence more GH production) Best: Do once a week.
- Hanging
- Good Sleep
- (Edit) - I started jogging for 40 minutes daily. 20 Mor and 20 Eve. - 14 August.
That's it. Even if doesn't work. You are still going to get a good shape. So chill up and enjoy doing it.
Just measure your height and don't measure it again unless you do that for at least a month. In case if it doesn't add height you won't lose your motivation. By that time you would already have passed 21 days and it would be in your daily routine as a habit.
Good luck :)
I would add weights to the workout. Multiple studies have shown that weights are actually helpful in increasing height
Hey bro I'm from India as well, I'm 18.5 years

there is no growth of new bone at the site where the bone was broken
With modern technologies like the precice nail complications are rare and you'll be up walking within days of getting the procedure.
I believe you can go up to 6in. That’s a big difference then just 2
It'd not safe to go past 3
6 inches if you do it twice , not just once ….
3 is safe, also looks okay, not overly weird, if compared to whole body ratios like legs, hand, upper body parts

Double standard exist throughout society.
This comment section is so sad.

I don’t blame anyone who wants it I have issues with my appearance and body dysmorphia as a girl as well and Ik how bad it can get. It’s just so sad that society has caused these issues.

Someone who is over privileged in height is being judgemental. Stork.

It’s worse being a short guy than a short girl. A girls height doesn’t matter to guys at all. I’m 5’6 but I had stunt my growth of my long bones pretty severely during my teenage years. I was supposed to grow at least a few more inches but I took accutane to cure my chronic cystic acne which was extremely painful. I use to wake up with a bloody face. The worst thing about that condition is it gets worse the longer you have it and less likely it is to be curable. The doctor gave me two choices; either I keep the cystic acne and continue growing or I cure the acne and stop growing. I obviously didn’t want to deal with the pain so I choice to take the accutane. I personally don’t care being 5’6 but people treat you differently. You’re treated as disposable as a short dude. I don’t know if I will ever get the surgery but it’s always been a burden to me.
No, women are harshly judged for other things they can’t control like their breast and butt size.

lol then stop trying to find love at a party or club. Im not particularly surprised girls are judging since just like guys, just looking for a date. Want a real girl? Travel, at work, go to *casual* social meets related to your hobby/skill, or if you are looking over the internet, then socialize on dating sites that suits your behavior i.e introvert/shy/outgoing/extrovert etc.

well three things . you're a chick so no man will care about your height as long as you're willing to put out. some pervs even want a very short chick. secondly. you're not a dude. thirdly, a surgical break is vastly different than a break occurring in an injury where the damage is unpredictable. if you had 2 decades of women rejecting you, snickering at your height, not giving you the time of day, being the brunt of short jokes....decades of abject heart wrenching loneliness...you might give it a chance.
