A father-of-two travelled to Turkey and spent $106,000 to get limb-lengthening surgery to increase his height after deciding his legs were 'too short' for his body.
Brian Sanchez, 33, a mortgage broker who lives in Georgia with his wife, Nidia, 30, and their daughters, Kaisley, two, and Kairi, six, said he felt like his body was 'out of proportion' and he looked like 'like a huge thumb

'It's going to be really nice just to be able to hug her and have her all the way down there on my chest instead of being almost eye level.
'One of the things that I'll enjoy the most is being able to work out again and put some weight on my legs and have my body look a little bit more how I want it to.'
Last January, Brian realised his legs didn't match his 'torso proportions'.
He said: 'I realised that my legs were always looking weird, and I didn't know what it was, until one day I was sitting next to my brother-in-law who is almost 6ft 6in, and I was actually a little taller than he was.
'I thought that was weird, because I knew he was taller than I am by a lot, and we stood up, and all of a sudden, I started looking and realised my legs were too short for my body.
I'm broad, have long arms, and I'm wide, but my short legs make me look different – I almost look like a huge thumb, like those thumb men from Spy Kids.'
After the realisation, Brian, who had never previously had cosmetic surgery, started to dislike his aesthetics and decided to research ways to make himself taller.
He said: 'I thought I can either find a new hobby, and give up lifting weights, or I can fix the issue.
Brian had his first operation in last December, which involved breaking his tibia and fibula, putting a rod inside the bones, and fastening it with screws

Usually your leg bones shatter more easily afterwards but I think he does enough steroids to offset that.

Steroids will make this shit way worse lmao. A big issue with steroids is muscles can strengthen a lot faster than other parts of the body, so this r-slur is going to try and hit a PR and break his Manlet legs in two lol.

@Jalapt think biggest issues will be his joints. Surgery will increase presure on joints massively. If he roids hard. He can easily tear and frick up his every joint in his body.

The complication rate on these surgeries is insanely high, and the recovery time after is several months. Leg lengthening surgery was originally for situations where a serious injury caused one leg to end up shorter than the other making it difficult to walk.

Will it? It's not a huge increase in mass. I'd be a lot more worried about the legs just being fricked up in general.

Yeah, you'll put some weights on your legs and then you'll get famous by being featured in gym rekt compilation videos.
Enjoy osteoporosis and never jumping or running again without your legs bursting.
Isn't the manlet cutoff 6'0''? there's also the 5'9'' vs 6'0'' meme. So he wasnt even short and STILL had a height complex?
Sometimes being a manlet is a mindset.

I think Turks and Arabs spend most of their life maximizing their appearance. I don't know if attractiveness in their society holds a special value and I'm basing my conclusions on empirical evidence but I always thought that POT (people of Turk) were much more focused on their looks than any other things.
I don't have any close friends from that area but the random men I see on the streets and/or at school, uni, or previous jobs have had very clean faces, perfectly styled beards, and fitting haircuts. Maybe they do this because they're innately prone to have lots of hair (in all sorts of places) or maybe because they don't have anything else to do. I suppose hard surgeries like Limb-Lengthening Surgery for example are just the next logical step - until they turn 35 and suddenly have the biggest gut possible and a poorly groomed mustache harassing younger women and talking shit to Syrians. Exchange Syrians for gypsies and women for femboys and you'll have the average

If you think it's ok to give kids surgery to fix a cleft palate or burn scars, you have to be ok with surgery to fix manletism. Being a manlet is drastically worse for a person's life and well being than having any other equivalent deformity, and pocket princes deserve all our sympathy and help

You will never be a real jannie. You have no presence, you have experience, you have no reason to be one. You are a homosexual man twisted by hunger for power and stupid minimodding into a crude mockery of internet's scum.
All the “validation” you get is two-faced and half-hearted. Behind your back people mock you. The admins are disgusted and ashamed of you, your “fellow users” laugh at your awkward attempts at minimodding behind closed doors.
Normal users are utterly repulsed by you. Decades of evolution in Reddit's ecosystem have allowed Drama users to sniff out frauds with incredible efficiency. Even wannabe jannies who “pass” look awkward and disgusting to a user. Your message structure is a dead giveaway. And even if you manage to get a drunk admin to give you powers, he'll turn tail and demote you the second he gets a whiff of your mentally ill, power-hungry mind.
You will never be happy. You wrench out a fake smile every single morning and tell yourself it's going to be ok, but deep inside you feel the depression creeping up like a weed, ready to crush you under the unbearable weight.
Eventually it'll be too much to bear - you'll opt out of nitro, delete your Groomercord account, stop boosting the server and leave. The admins will find you, heartbroken but relieved that they no longer have to live with the unbearable shame and disappointment. Your messages will remain as you will fade from memory, and every passerby who uses the search function and comes across your pathetic minimodding messages for the rest of eternity will know a wannabe jannie is buried there. Your presence will decay and go back to the dust, and all that will remain of your legacy is a user who's undoubtedly not a moderator
This is your fate. This is what you chose. There is no turning back.
