Man Spends $175K on Painful Surgery to Grow 6 Inches

Colombian Instagram star Yeferson Cossio spent $175,000 on a painful lower limb lengthening surgery to add 6 inches to his height, becoming 6 feet tall. The surgery involves breaking the bones, inserting a metal rod, and using an external device to slowly lengthen the gap. Cossio underwent physical therapy to adjust to his new legs and admitted the surgery was purely for aesthetic purposes. He joins a growing number of individuals who have spent thousands of dollars to increase their height through surgical procedures.
