Some of us are just born lucky. We cause many, many pair of eyes to turn around a second time to look at us.
What happens if we are born with some defects? How far would we go to change ourselves to appear perfect to the world? Would you go to the extremes of make over to be accepted by everyone around you?
In a world where image does matters, getting a job or even a date can be difficult if you do not meet the basic looks that they want. Take a look at becoming a flight attandant for instance, you need to be at least 5 feet tall to get a job. They will not employ a short person even if you are pretty or handsome.
In some countries, people would go to the extremes to grow to at least 5 feet (1.524 metres). How do they do it? They have to undergo a surgery called leg-lengthening which is extremely painful and may take up to one year before one can get out of bed and walk properly. Bones will be broken and braces will be attached to legs to increase the height.

It is just amazing how medical advancements have changed over time. Undergoing such surgeries have now become common for one to enhance appearance and acceptance of people around us.
