In 2014, a 20-year-old boy, Li Yanuo, underwent an operation.
He spent 160,000 yuan to increase his height through surgery, and finally after the operation, he increased from 1.67 meters to 1.74 meters.
However, although he fulfilled his wish, the operation left serious sequelae.
And now that 10 years have passed since Li Yanuo's surgery, what is his life?
The statements in this article are based on reliable sources of information and are detailed at the end of the article
"Broken bone heightening" surgery
Li Yanuo is 20 years old and 1.67 meters tall, which is indeed not too tall among northern boys.
But if you want to achieve ten centimeters taller, this can basically be said to be wishful thinking, many people must have this idea, but few people will actually achieve it.
However, Li Yanuo is a realistic example, he not only realized his desire to grow taller, but also increased from more than 1.6 meters to more than 1.7 meters at once.
This method is "broken bone height", this kind of surgery is terrible when you hear it, but at that time, Li Yanuo was already carried away by the desire to increase height, even if his parents blocked him, he insisted on going to the plastic surgery hospital and doing the surgery to the end.
Because of his height, Li Yanuo has had low self-esteem for a long time, and finally has the opportunity to change all this, how could Li Yanuo give up easily, but is this operation so easy to succeed?
Because of low self-esteem
Li Yanuo was born in Beijing in 1994, although it is an ordinary family, but their family does not have to worry about eating and drinking, and his parents are also very fond of Li Yanuo, and basically his parents will agree to what he wants.
But the older Li Yanuo gets, the more inferior he becomes, not for anything else, just because of his height, which seems so out of place among boys of the same age.
Li Yanuo's dream is to become a pilot, in order to realize his dream, his academic performance has always been good in the class, and he has put his energy into studying.
However, it wasn't until he went to high school that he realized that he was different from his friends.
Because they are a lot taller than themselves, some of their classmates are even in high school, and their height is already 1.8 meters.
And I have always grown very slowly, and after I went to high school, I was only less than 1.7 meters, which is much worse than my friends and classmates.
And after he grows to one meter, six or seven, it seems that he will no longer develop, and his height has not changed much.
His parents didn't pay much attention to the change in their children, because children develop early and late, and some children will develop again in college.
Li Yanuo may continue to grow taller in the future, and his parents are not too anxious.
But Li Yanuo didn't think so, because by the time he graduated from high school, he would basically pass puberty, and it would be even more difficult to grow taller at that time.
In addition to studying, Li Yanuo usually goes out to exercise and exercise, and he also plays basketball in school, thinking that he can help himself grow taller.
His parents also prepared a lot of high-calcium foods and nutritional products for him, but no matter how he tossed it, Li Yanuo's height still did not exceed 1.7 meters.
The height of his parents is the normal height, but Li Yanuo is not even one meter seven, and his parents finally took Li Yanuo to the hospital for examination, but they didn't expect to get a shocking news.
Li Yano's epiphyseal line has closed, and if the epiphyseal line is completely closed, it means that the bone has stopped growing.
Li Yanuo wants to continue to grow taller, which has basically become a luxury, because his bones have been closed and he will not continue to grow taller.
Li Yanuo's height stopped at 1.67 meters, and there is no possibility of continuing to increase his height.
The pilot's defeat strengthened the desire to increase height
Li Yanuo's dream is to become a pilot, but the requirements for becoming a pilot are very strict.
Li Yanuo's cultural class was able to meet the requirements, but in terms of height, he was eliminated.
Li Yanuo did not meet the minimum height standards for pilots, and his dream had always been to become a pilot, but now, he was turned away because of his height.
Li Yanuo was very depressed, he had low self-esteem because of his height, and now he was rejected by his dreams because of his height.
Originally, Li Yanuo's grades in the class were quite good, but because of his height, he felt very inferior, and he couldn't study well in the class, and his grades kept regressing.
Even many of his friends have left him because he is too inferior and sensitive.
When Li Yanuo took the college entrance examination in the end, he was only admitted to an ordinary university.
In order to be able to grow taller, Li Yanuo didn't care whether his bone line was closed or not, he bought some drugs and equipment that could help him grow taller, and even took hormones.
Because his parents were still guilty of Li Yanuo, they spent more than 10,000 yuan to help Li Yanuo realize his desire to grow taller.
But in the end, Li Yanuo's height still did not change at all, and he tossed in vain, and spent a lot of money.
In order to be able to grow taller, Li Yanuo has been looking for ways to help him grow taller.
After reading a lot on the Internet, Li Yanuo finally found a way to make people taller, that is, the "broken bones to increase height" method.
In fact, this method has been practiced by Western doctors for a long time, and there are specific scientific examples.
However, the principle of this operation is painful for the patient.
Because the patient's leg is amputated by a professional instrument, and then fixed with a fixator, it must be stretched at the wound every day, which can stimulate the regeneration between the bone sutures, and the legs will be much longer than the original after the end, and the height will naturally increase a lot.
This was originally used to help patients treat orthopedic diseases, but now it is being used to increase height.
This kind of surgery itself violates the law of natural growth of the human body, and naturally it will be very harmful to the body, and there are many sequelae.
But Li Yanuo obviously didn't care, he had been looking for this method for a long time, and finally learned about this operation, so naturally he had to understand it clearly, and then he was ready to do it.
His parents disagreed at first, but Li Yanuo has been persuading his parents and showing them successful cases.
In the end, his parents had to compromise and took him to a plastic surgery hospital that could do this surgery, and after diagnosis, Li Yanuo could gain 7.2 centimeters after surgery, which is already the best data that can be achieved.
His parents took out 160,000 yuan as Li Yanuo's surgery expenses.
On September 24, 2014, Li was wheeled into the operating room, which was his birthday, and he wanted to change all that on his birthday.
A few hours later, the operation was over, but Li Yanuo's pain was far from over.
After-effects of surgery
The doctor had steel nails attached to the inside of his legs and a ring-shaped retainer to the outside.
After that, if Li Yanuo wants to successfully increase his height, he must go through up to half a year of stretching.
Every time he stretched, Li Yanuo felt pain, and that pain was pain in his bones.
After stretching, he also had to undergo post-operative rehabilitation, and for about two years, Li Yanuo spent it in pain.
Later, he removed the binding, and as he expected, it was 174 centimeters taller.
But he hadn't done leg training for a long time, he couldn't even walk, and he had lost a lot of weight.
He needs to rely on his parents to help him walk, and even if he undergoes rehabilitation training later, he can no longer run and jump as he used to be.
On top of that, his newly grown bones were not the same as the curves of his previous legs, and his legs had begun to be rugged and deformed.
The sequelae after the operation are slowly breaking down Li Yanuo's heart defense, and ten years have passed, and Li Yanuo's legs have not improved much.
If he hadn't been bent on using surgery to change his height, his life would not be like now, unable to run or jump, and becoming a "semi-disabled" state.
