Stephen: Extreme cosmetic surgery lets people get taller artificially

It is now possible for someone to add six inches to their height, no shoe lifts involved. It requires painful and expensive surgery during which both legs are broken to allow for the insertion of rods that are then gradually stretched over several months. A surgeon in Los Angeles who specializes in leg-lengthening says most of his patients are men who want to be more attractive to women. He claims the surgery greatly increases their self-confidence and self-esteem. It costs up to $170,000.
