Summary

Paul Saladino reacts to the growing trend of cosmetic leg lengthening surgery, where doctors deliberately break both legs, insert internal rods and lengthen bone about 1 millimeter per day so patients can gain up to 6 inches in height over several painful months. He points out that in the United States the procedure can cost well over 100,000 dollars, often leaves people unable to run or play impact sports normally again, and may create long term mobility problems in the pursuit of a few extra inches.
