New York Man 'Grows' Six Inches Through Surgery
A "growing" number of men pursuing limb-lengthening procedures to become taller.
That is precisely the reason why Akash Shukla, 25, decided to undergo the procedure. At age 18, the New Jersey man was devastated to find out that his final height would be 4'11 ½.
"I felt like my short stature was kind of causing a void inside me- an emptiness in my heart, if you will," he said.
And not everyone was encouraging.
"There are people that have said, 'just accept what God gave you. But, in some way, shape or form everybody is trying to alter what god gave them. If God gave kids crooked teeth, they get braces,"
After the surgery, he's still only 5'2 so don't know if it was worth it for him. But if you're 5'4-5'6, definitely you can get mileage out of it. By the way, I'm at a public library low inhib posting on this site.
