    Some Little People have this done to make legs longer and even in length. There are several types of dwarfism in which this surgery can help. This is done for a medical reason. If someone has dysmorphia this might be an option. Because of the pain and the length of time for this procedure, a patient must really have all the data and an excellent surgeon. Not for the faint hearted.

    Notice how in most of the pictures of the leg lengthening surgeries it's usually only on one leg? That's because usually it's not done for cosmetic reasons, but rather because one leg is shorter than the other. This can cause back pains for example, so it's better to get both legs to the same length

    I’ve come across research in the bone extension procedure before, interestingly it has a very low infection rate. It’s actually based on a technique developed pre-antibiotics. The researcher I spoke to theorized that the movement and separation of the bone actually recruited significantly more innate immune cells than a typical wound. This resulting in far fewer infections than one would first guess. (This information was from animal models, not humans though so there is always a chance things perform differently)

I have broken my left leg 19 times and my right leg 21 times ( no joke or lie- I have a health issue and very fragile bones) The pain involved in gaining that 1" isn't worth it. Nor the risk of infection which exists for any surgery. The risk of this procedure causing infections is sky high! You are opening the bone in a semi sterile environment!

    Would you consider removing ribs that are misshapen,assymetrical and with surgical hardware inserted, due to childhood physical abuse and later trauma, as an "extreme" surgery as doing it purely for cosmetic reasons? Corset brace for a scoliosis partially reshaped lower , mobile ribs, and the most imflicted deformity is on the last connected ,immobile ribs - I would only like to remove the deformed frontal parts, leaving the "safety cage" of the side ribs. Would be nice to have a normal looking torso (I'm very low on body fat,leam- muscular so the abnormalities really show...) and leave the scars of the past behind. I know there are surgeons that perfom cosmetic rib removal surgery in US, (it's virtually unheard of in Europe) but from what I've seen only removing the last mobile ribs from incisions in the back.

    Wasn't limb lengthening surgery invented to straighten deformed legs? An acquaintance of an acquaintance had it done as he has Dwarfism. His lower legs were curved or bowed, he had to walk with walking stick because it was difficult and had the surgery to allow him to walk easier. It worked, he got 4 inches taller, but his legs were straightened enough where he could walk normally.

    I'm not sure why elf ears are that crazy. Maybe it's because it's a body modification and not a plastic surgery, but if that's the case then ALL body mods should be listed. It's not a dangerous procedure like tongue splitting can be, and the chances of complications like infection or necrosis aren't any higher than any other procedure. I definitely don't see it as being worthy of being on this list with stacked implants and leg lengthening.

Ear pointing is a rather small procedure, requiring maybe 2 or 3 stitches per ear and the removal of about 5 by 2 mm of cartilage. Removing one's wisdom teeth is a more complicated operation. I had mine done by a reputable body mod artist over a decade ago and am very happy with my points. Honestly, I think this was included just to rile people up and get comments. You're welcome, I guess.

    The fact that people look at their ribs and think, "oh these things that help protect all the squishy parts keeping me alive? Let's get rid of a couple because I'd look so cute." I saw numerous comments discussing medically necessary leg lengthening but I think Dr. Youn was referring to it being done for non-medically necessary reasons. Many years ago I watched some guy go on a talk show and he had that procedure done in another country just because he wanted to be taller to "feel more masculine". Can people stop messing with their bones unless it's medically necessary? (I'm including an improvement in quality of life as necessary in this case because that applies to some people's situations).

    If there’s one thing I’ll never understand, it’s why women will deliberately put themselves through the pain of having large breasts. As someone with naturally large breasts myself I can tell you that I don’t recommend it. Not to the extent that I’ve seen some women go to. It is VERY hard on your back and neck. It can throw your spine out of whack if you’re not careful with your movements. I’m a DDD/F. My back, neck and even shoulders hurt often because of it. I get that a lot of women do it for health reasons. If you’ve had to have a mastectomy for any reason, God bless you. But if you’re going to do it for cosmetic reasons just please be aware of what you’re getting yourself into.

    Women with flat chests are called boys, bullied and not considered real women because of a lack of "female" traits. I wanted implants when I was younger exactly because of bullying, but as an adult I don't care anymore as it's not important, a body is supposed to work great, not to look perfect. What people don't get is that it's not the surgery that changes your life, it's just attitude and confidence. And in general people (who don't have deformities and do it just for cosmetics) don't need a plastic surgery, but a therapy fr.

Since I sized up to a (single) D, my body finally looks balanced & I'm just so much more confident; the funny thing is that I'm still a pretty modest dresser, so I don't really ever "show them off", but it's just nice to finally feel like my breasts fit the rest of me. The humungo-boobs, tho? I agree, it's baffling. My bestie is a natural G-cup, & it makes her miserable.
