I want to grow taller!
"A boy is not yet 1.7 meters tall, you are a third-class cripple, hahaha!"
In the face of the ruthless ridicule of his classmates, the boy named Li Yano bowed his head deeply, and such laughter, which accompanied his entire high school career and was less than 1 meter 7 tall, became an eternal pain in his heart.
Someone asked him, grow 10 cm tall or lose 10 pounds, which one will you choose? Liano did not hesitate to choose a length of 10 centimeters, because he really needed these 10 centimeters.
When Liano was 20 years old, he really had such an opportunity to increase his height by 7.2 centimeters.
Liano decisively seized the opportunity, and his family spent 160,000 yuan for him to perform a surgery called "broken bone height".
So, did Leano really grow taller after the surgery? What will his later life be like?
The "disability" in the mouth of the classmates, the loss of the pilot dream
Born in 1994, Liano never felt like he would have anything to do with dwarfs before he went to high school.
When he was a child, Li Yano looked a little shorter than his peers, but boys, in adolescence, will naturally grow taller, and being shorter when they were young does not mean anything.
Besides, Li Yano's parents, the height is very normal, and now the living conditions are good, the next generation's height, generally higher than their parents, so everyone did not pay attention to it.
After entering junior high school, Li Yano's height ranked in the upper middle position, and some of the male classmates around him have begun to grow taller slowly, and the female classmates have developed early, and some have directly surpassed Li Yano.
However, at this time, the middle school entrance examination is about to be taken, Liano is fully engaged in learning, seeing that the child is so tired of studying, Liano's parents also try to give him more nutrition as much as possible.
Through his own efforts, Li Yano was admitted to the ideal high school as he wished, and after the school started, Li Yano found that many boys in the class were more than 170cm tall, and some even grew to more than 180cm.
Li Yano, who is only 166 cm tall, stands next to them and looks very weak and helpless.
When queuing, Liano stood at the top of the class, and Liano's seat in the class was also in the first row.
Later, LiAno's midterm exam results were not satisfactory, and he was suddenly transferred to the back rows, and sitting in front of him was just a big man, blocking his vision to death.
Coupled with the decline in academic performance, Li Yano felt for the first time that his height seemed to be a problem, other students were growing tall, how could they only stand still?
LiAno began to take the initiative to ask his parents to add food to himself, eggs, milk, beef became Li Yano's daily must-eat food, in addition to his often do running and jumping sports.
At this time, Li Yano had only one belief in his heart, that is, to grow tall, so Li Yano insisted on it for a whole year, but his height only increased by 1cm.
Liano, without a doubt, became the shortest of the boys in the class, and his classmates joked about his height consciously or unconsciously.
"A boy is so short, I'm afraid he's a third-class cripple!"
"I'm afraid you'll never grow 1 meter 7 in your lifetime!"
Height is the most important thing for LiAno, and in the face of the ridicule of his classmates, this undoubtedly deeply stung Li Yano's sensitive heart.
LiAno became more and more inferior in the class and was reluctant to communicate with his classmates.
Being a pilot has always been a dream of Li Yano, in the third year of high school, Li Yano applied for the civil aviation flight test, but during the physical examination, Li Yano was brushed off because of his height.
Again because of height! Liano's mentality collapsed, and he began to frantically look for various ways to increase his heights, and he could not even concentrate on learning.
Spend 160,000 to give yourself a gift for 20 years old
In order to increase the height, Li Yano tried many ways, what to increase the insole, increase the oral liquid, increase the height patch and so on.
As long as he saw the two words of heightening, Liano did not hesitate to buy it and use it at home, but each time he was full of hope and then fell into despair.
These things are undoubtedly paying the IQ tax, but Liano still can't help but try.
The parents watched their son suffer so much every day for his height, so they took him to the hospital for a check-up.
The doctor told him that boys are generally around 16-17 years old, and their height has almost stopped growing, which is mainly to see the healing of the epiphyseal line, if the epiphyseal line has not yet healed, it can be a little longer.
However, Leano's X-rays showed that his epiphyseal line had completely healed.
When Li Yano heard the news, he felt that the sky had collapsed in an instant, and the doctor comforted him to calm his mind, study hard now, work well in the future, and the height of this thing is not absolute for life.
"You see Deng Yaping, who plays table tennis, is not tall, and has become a world champion!"
His parents also comforted Li Yano with the doctor, but at this time, Li Yano could not listen to a word, and his mind was full of the doctor's sentence "Growing tall".
Li Yano, who had no way to seek medical treatment, began to look for "folk remedies" on the Internet, Baidu, Tieba and forums, and he was crazy to seek ways to grow tall on the Internet.
Finally, he learned from a netizen that there is a method of growing tall, called "broken bone height",
LiAno looked up information on this method online without eating.
Proper exercise can be done three months after surgery and returns to normal in 8-12 months.
Liano decided to do this operation himself, but was strongly opposed by his parents, "broken bones and heightened", which was very frightening when he heard the name, and Liano's parents did not agree with his decision.
However, Liano is like a demon, he constantly instills online success stories in his parents, and even forced him to die.
LiAno's parents should know that over the years, the child has been subjected to a lot of gossip because of his height, so he has a soft heart and decides to go to the hospital for consultation.
The family came to the Yimei Plastic Surgery Hospital that Liano had found in advance, and after the doctor learned of Liano's situation, he told him with great confidence: No problem, you can grow taller in this situation.
After examining the growth of the bones and muscles of the calf, the doctor told him that through surgery, he could grow 7.2 cm tall.
Li Yano felt that it was not enough, and asked the doctor if he could be taller, preferably by 10cm.
After all, with LiAno's current height of 167cm, after increasing by 7.2cm, it is less than 175cm.
And Li Yano also took into account that doing this operation cost 160,000 yuan before and after, of course, he wanted to be able to grow a little longer.
But the doctor said that 7.2cm is already the maximum he can grow tall, no more, it will affect the recovery, and it is also a damage to the calf.
In the end, the Liano family and the doctor agreed, and the doctor made a plan for his operation.
On September 24, 2014, Liano was pushed into the operating room, a date that Liano himself chose.
Because September 24 is his birthday, he wants to be reborn on this day of his 20th birthday, phoenix nirvana.
Sequelae accompany a lifetime
What is the "bone augmentation" technique?
To put it bluntly, you saw off your leg from the calf, and then artificially stretch the bone, so that it grows taller.
It sounds very simple, but in fact, many tissues in the human leg are connected together, in addition to bones, there are blood vessels, nerves, skin and other columns, so this operation has a great risk, and a little carelessness will lead to disability.
Moreover, this operation, in what students call "limb elongation", did not exist to grow tall, but to treat diseases of unequal length of the lower limbs such as polio.
In 2006, China decreed that bone augmentation surgery is only suitable for the treatment of bone defects, limb unequal length and limb deformities, etc., and is prohibited from medical beauty projects.
A few hours later, Leano pushed out of the operating room, and the doctor said the operation was a success.
Not surprisingly, Leano will slowly grow taller at a rate of 0.5 mm per day, reaching 7.2 cm, and then do another operation to remove the fixator.
After a few more hours, Leano woke up, and he checked his calf for the first time.
After the anesthesia, Liano's calf began to hurt, but this pain was nothing compared to being able to grow taller, and he could hold on.
But Liano did not expect that his pain had only just begun.
The doctor told LiAno's parents that Li Yano's postoperative recovery cycle would take about two years.
That is to say, in these two years, Liano not only needed to be cared for, but also almost lost the ability to study or work.
For three months before the operation, Liano's calf would be in severe pain every day, and taking painkillers was useless.
After three months, according to the plan, Liano could try to walk on the ground, but the reality was that every time he moved, he felt the pain of his bones being pulled.
After another period of time, Liano chose to go home for conservative treatment, and at home every day except for stretching exercises, Liano could only lie in bed.
A year later, Leano came to the hospital as scheduled to remove the traction, but when the traction was removed, Liano found that he often could not walk, sometimes even unable to stand up.
Leano's height increased to 174cm as desired, but at the same time, his legs also had complications due to surgery: bone valgus, collapsed arches, X-shaped legs...
He can't even do the normal running and jumping before, can't stand for too long, and sometimes has to borrow a wheelchair to travel.
Leano's legs, scrapped!
However, there is no turning back from the bow, and he insists on doing the operation at the beginning, and if the consequences are later, he can only bear it himself.
The "Bone Breaker" technique not only did not bring Liano the life he wanted, but destroyed his otherwise healthy body.
LiAno's parents looked at their son's legs and were very upset in their hearts, they should not have agreed to this operation in the first place!
Now, 7 years have passed since Liano did the "broken bone elevation" surgery, and he still continues to fight with the sequelae of the operation.
Unlike before, the 27-year-old has undergone a drastic change in his mentality, and Liano has set up a social group chat of the "O-Leg X-Leg Correction Center" online to enlighten those who are like him because of the psychological torture of "broken bone elevation".
For those young people who still want to try, Liano uses his own experience to persuade:
"Height is not so important and it is not worth the health trade-off."
Thinking back to his life of inferiority because of his height in those years, Li Yano couldn't help but sigh: "If someone could psychologically counsel me at that time, I would never do bone breakage and heightening." ”
