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 โ 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.

Depends on the roids. But for some people on roids lose bone density.

@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.

I would imagine this will put a massive extra load on his heart, along with all the other issues abnormally tall people usually have.

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.
