Man Undergoes Painful Height Lengthening Surgery To Grow Taller
Moses Gibson, a man from Minneapolis, Minnesota, underwent a leg surgery to increase his height by five inches. He had struggled with self-doubt about his stature for years and found it difficult to talk to women. Gibson’s insecurity about his height began at the age of 15 when he realized that his peers were taller than him. He tried various remedies like medications and even consulted a ‘spiritual healer’ online, but none of them helped him to grow taller.
Eventually, Gibson decided to undergo surgery to increase his height. He saved up money for the surgery by working extra hours as a software engineer during the day and as an Uber driver at night for three years while in college. In 2016, he underwent surgery to add three inches to his height, but seven years later, he opted for a second round of surgery and is using a height-lengthening device.

The surgical procedure involved breaking Gibson’s tibia and fibula bones and inserting magnetic, limb-lengthening nails into them. He must now use a height-lengthening device three times a day, which pulls the cut bones apart one millimeter at a time.
