Height increase surgery is a sure shot way to add a few inches to your height. It is a painful, expensive process that only the most determined of individuals can go through, but it guarantees an increase of anything from 2-11 cm in your height. For those who are truly desperate to grow taller, this can be an effective alternative.
Height increase surgery originated in Russia, South Korea and Japan. It falls under the category of cosmetic surgery. Although this procedure is not approved in a majority of the world's developed nations, it nonetheless has a high rate of success and has been used by tons of people in the above mentioned countries to add to their height.
This procedure works by surgically cutting a gap in the shin bones in the legs and forcing them to grow. The bones are kept apart and supported by a mechanical device. Over time, the bones grow and fuse together, making height increase possible. It is possible to increase your height by up to six inches through this procedure.
But bones take an extraordinary amount of time to grow. It can take anything from 3 to 9 months to grow the bones together, depending on the amount of height increase you want. Worse, during this entire period, you are confined to your bed and can walk only with assistance.
Oh, and did I mention the pain? Cutting bones apart and forcing them to grow is excruciatingly painful. You can't take any form of anesthesia so there is no way to numb out the pain. Besides, the process takes several months, so taking a strong pain killer for such a long duration is really not possible, or recommended. For most people, this pain is too great to handle. Therefore, before you commit to a surgery like this, please understand that it will take extraordinary amount of endurance and willpower to stand all the pain.
Next, the costs. Height increase surgery is well beyond the reach of most people. The initial surgical procedure itself will cost you upwards of $50,000. After this, the 3-9 month stay in the hospital, cost of physiotherapy and medicines will take the total expenses well beyond $120,000. Keep in mind that during this time you willl be confined to the hospital, so you won't be able to make any money.
Considering the high cost and the amount of pain one has to deal with, height increase surgery is really not recommended for anyone but the truly desperate. If you are above 5'6", there is no reason for you to even consider this procedure. It is a viable solution only for people around or under 5'0".
