Implants For Short People
Posted by admin on March 30, 2008 · 8 Comments
A Spanish doctor has designed implants for short people to give them a little boost. The doctor has developed a silicone head implant that can increase a person's height by up to 5cm.
At first when I read this I thought it was the most ridiculous thing I had ever heard. Who would go under the knife to gain 5cm of height? Well.. actually the answer makes a little bit of sense.
Some jobs have height requirements. So for people who want to be police officers, flight attendants, models and firefighters but are just a tiny bit too short, the implant surgery can give them exactly what they need to get into their desired field.
The implant costs about $8,500 and the doctor says that people are already lining up at his Madrid clinic for the outpatient surgery.
My goodness! I sure have seen everything now. I was quite shocked to see that the implant only gained 5cm. But then your explanation made perfect sense. That could be enough for some people to reach their dreams.
So basically their head would be 2 inches longer?
I know quite a few people who need head implants. But not for the reasons stated in your post
Andrew: Yeah, it does kind of make sense when you understand why they want it.
Tammy: Yep.
Beth: LOL.. I totally get ya there!
I haven’t heard of this before. I have heard about implants that can be put into the legs however.
When I was 18, I wanted to join the army and become a pilot, then get out later and have a career. I ended up in the artillery cause I was an 1.5 inches too short….
Tim: Sorry the implant came too late..
I’m pretty sure more people will be happy hearing that good news. The height is really big deal especially in finding a job.
