He feels 'so much happier' after the £25,000 procedure.
A man whose insecurities over his height left him feeling ‘suicidal’ has said he’s ‘so much happier’ after spending £25,000 on limb-lengthening surgery., has been self-conscious of his 5ft 7in stature since he stopped growing aged 14, so forked out for the procedure to add an extra three inches, taking him to 5ft 10in.
In May 2021, he had his first procedure in a specialist clinic in Turkey, which involved breaking his femurs, hollowing out the bone, and putting a rod inside the bone with external fixators – pieces of steel on the outside of his legs. Now, Daniel is sharing his journey on social media to inspire others who are insecure about their height.‘I was insecure all my life about my height, it impacted my mental health so badly. I was suicidal, and after admitting that I wanted to take the steps to feel better, and have the surgery, I feel so much better.
When it became clear to him that he was unlikely to grow any more, it took a toll on his mental health and confidence.‘All my dreams would be about being taller and I had to somehow accept that my height had peaked.
