It looks like medieval torture, from the metal rods inserted into sawn bones to the months of agonising recovery. But to some, travelling to Turkey to gain a few inches is a (very high) price worth paying
As someone who’s experienced two broken legs after a car ran a red light , one of them a snapped femur, all I have to say is UGH.
I’d say they’re insane to undergo something so awful, but then I’m already 1.89m tall, so I can’t speak to the pressure someone short might face, or I suppose more importantly, think they face. That’s some serious body dysmorphia they’re dealing with; I hope that this at least helps them with that.

I’m wondering what kind of long term pain and complications these people are going to be dealing with as their body ages.
And you would also look weird, because you look disproportionate, because it’s only your lower legs are lengthened.
