Leg-lengthening surgery is becoming popular among men in the US, with some clinics reporting a 30% increase in demand during the pandemic. The procedure involves breaking and extending bones in the legs and can add up to six inches in height, at a cost of $76,000. While the surgery is mostly cosmetic, it is also used to treat limb-length discrepancies and some conditions affecting the joints. However, it is a painful and risky procedure that carries the risk of infection and nerve damage. It also requires a long recovery period and extensive physical therapy. Critics argue that leg-lengthening surgery promotes unrealistic beauty standards and could exacerbate body dysmorphia in some individuals.
