The man who borrowed $75,000 for leg-lengthening surgery that made him 3 inches taller will have to pay $1,200 a month for the next five years.
In his 40s, John Lovedale explained why he underwent surgery. People who are taller seem to have it simpler. He said that the world seemed to bend for them.
When he heard about the procedure, he decided to go for it. He was less than the average height of 5 feet 9 inches before he did so.
The surgery costs between $70,000 and $150,000 if the patient wants to grow by 3, 4, 5, or 6 inches.
The network engineer will be paying back $1,200 over the next five years, but he has no regrets. When you're tall, people look at you differently. Lovedale said he gets a lot more looks at the gym.
He heard about the procedure on the internet.
Only a small number of surgeons in North America perform leg lengthening. During the Pandemic, the clinic's business boomed, according to the man.
It was intended to help patients with real conditions, but it is now a more common procedure.
The procedure is hard to listen to. The doctor uses metal nails to break the thigh bones of the patient. The nails are extended for three months with a magnetic remote control, according to a report.
It can take a long time for the legs to heal. There is a mental discipline that you need to have. It is similar to training for the marathon.
The doctor said that many of his patients are tech workers from large companies.
It is becoming more and more common for men to have plastic surgery. The Washington Post reported in January 2020 that men were resorting to all kinds of procedures in order to get ahead in their career.
