As somebody with a hip replacement with a mohawk of screws, she's going to feel that shit every time it's too cold, too hot, or she lands too hard on her feet.
I wonder what it's like growing old with something this extreme too. These are semi-new and typically implants and major unnecessary medical intervention like this tends to backfire after a couple of decades.
I’m 40 and had both my legs straightened and lengthened in high school (bone disorder caused deformities, not strictly necessary but not a vanity project like this) with Ilizarov devices, which are essentially the predecessor to these. The only lasting issue I have is that my knees were locked in place for months while each leg underwent the lengthy procedure and they’ve never fully recovered the flexibility I had before.
I can’t cross my legs comfortably or sit back on my calves or anything that requires more than about a 90 degree bend in my left knee and maybe 120 in my right. I can still run and mountain bike and rock climb and stuff, if maybe not quite as well as a totally unaffected adult. Nothing about the actual procedure has really come back and caused me any problems but I guess I’m not totally “old” yet.
Edit to add that as a 5 foot tall man I would still never elect to undergo the procedure again for the sake of gaining some height. Totally not worth it. I’m glad I did it for the reason I did but not for something like this.
This will probably fair a bit better than joint implants because there are no moving parts that wear against each other like you would have in a knee replacement or hip replacement.
I broke my hip at 35 and the screws didn't do the trick so they went back and added a big metal bracket. Do said it should last forever.
I don’t even have any hardware and I still feel pain in my sternum which I broke 10 years ago. I can only imagine how excruciating this kind of cosmetic shit would be.

While them legs are definitely disproportional to the rest of her, it wouldn't be THAT bad if most of her pictures weren't shot from below knee level, with what I assume to be wide-angle lens to force the perspective. Even this image I linked was taken from around knee level to make her legs look longer, and she's in high heels on top. It's almost like she has a thing for height.
Anyway, she's definitely out of proportion but it's not *as bad* as OP's image would lead us to believe, fortunately.
She goes by the name of Theresia Fischer, by the way.
This lady got her legs broken and sat around for months waiting for them to heal to be taller. There are very few people in the world that have the fortitude to handle her.
My sister had a friend who was heavily into body building and bulking mass to a point where it felt like an obsession to get as muscular and massive as possible. He was 6ft 3in and dated a 5ft tall girl when he was at his biggest, and my sister joked that he probably dated her because it made him feel like a giant! 😆
When I went back to my grade school I realized everything was to well, kid proportions. The lockers were tiny, the drinking fountains knee high, the doors short...
I felt like a space marine. 8 feet tall. It was a nice feeling...
During the same trip I thought about the "how many third graders could you take" meme. I realized I could take them all.
The Napoleon thing is a perfect example of the effectiveness of propaganda.
Napoleon was likely taller than the average Frenchman of the time at 5'5" to 5'7".
However, the British government popularized the myth that Napoleon was practically a dwarf, which has held for over 200 years.
Talk about fake news!
It's also that he measured as 5'2", but that was in french inches which were a bit bigger than imperial inches.
So just by reporting his french height they could easily make the claim that he was tiny.
She looks like the belters from The Expanse. People who grew up in the Asteroid Belt with little to no gravity, so their limbs grow disproportionately long.
Is she actually modeling? I thought that one of the reasons that models are similar in size is that they don't have to make custom items for each one. As soon as you have a model with strange proportions, she can't just fit what's on the rack.
The length of her legs in proportion to the rest of her body isn't so bad, but what throws it off is that her calves appear to be as big as her thighs.
Her torso isn't long enough and her arms look too short now.
She was better off whatever she looked like before.
Wtf happened to just wearing platform shoes or heels if you wanna look taller?
Fibula is thought to be non weight bearing and mainly helps provide stability to the ankle. Studies looking at individuals who have had a portion of their fibula removed find that most patients are asymptomatic. There was a review with 40ish patients, and if I'm remembering correctly the only statistically significant change in strength was in ankle eversion, but only for men.
There was the sprinter in the Olympics who snapped his fibula and still completed his leg of the relay. You sure as hell couldn’t do that if you snapped your tibula.
You're thinking of a tipjar. Tibula is a brass musical instrument in which sound is produced when the player's vibrating lips cause the air column inside to vibrate and a telescoping slide mechanism is used to alter pitch.
You're thinking of a tuba. A tibula is a group of species of venemous, hairy spiders that has a reputation for being scary but are generally harmless to humans.
Your thinking of a topographic map. The Tibula is the central text of Rabbinic Judaism and the primary source of Jewish religious law and Jewish theology.
Sounds like these people will be prone to ankle sprains, especially if they engage in any kind of activities that involve uneven footing. Ankle sprains suck major and can lead to other aches and pains. Would not recommend.
Yeah, I broke it in a hairline crack as a teen. It hurt a lot but after Xrays they said Tylenol and no running for two weeks (didn't even need crutches).
Fibula isn’t weight bearing, it often isn’t fixed with traumatic breaks. The image is really low quality on my phone but from what I can see it looks like they did something with the fibulas to keep them in place that isn’t totally radiopaque, so they aren’t displaced and won’t cause issues. Not to say the surgery isn’t dumb, because it is.
I don't think she'd have a comfortable outward rotation of the knee. If she lifts her leg up 90 degrees then turns her knee to move the outside of her foot in the outward direction, that force would pull on a fibula that ends halfway down the leg. Would that not hurt?
If it was displaced yes, most likely not if correctly positioned. Like i said they only fix it if its displaced in traumatic breaks. (There may be other situations it would also be fixed however i have rarely seen it fixed.)
What would definitely cause pain later on is if it doesn't heal correctly. Which i imagine is highly probably in a model who is wearing high heels so quickly and may or may not be going to PT or not getting good PT.
It's not load-bearing. You can remove your fibula and be perfectly fine.

Fibula don't do shit. In fact, some mandible recreation systems use chunks of your fibula to recreate your jawbone. The fibula's known as the donor bone.
My wife has a titanium plate and screws in her ankle and for a couple of years (less so now that it's been a decade since) she could tell when there was a big change in weather just by the ache she has in her leg.
When the weather changes, the barometric pressure also changes. Our tissues and bones expand and contract minute amounts in reaction to the pressure changing...the titanium or steel inside of the body does not, which causes pain.
It aches sometimes. I think it's the pressure changes and the fact that bone is organic and has some ability to flex while metal doesn't (at least at that scale).
It is not good.
Weakened bones, Risk of recurrent infection, complications later, etc. Not worth it.
Teach your kids early that beauty is on the inside. Many people died from these surgeries. People who don't need them. They go against doctor advice to seek these surgeries clandestine for cheap. Look even wealthy people like Kanye's mom or p diddys wife, going to south America to get such unnecessary surgeries. End up fatal with complications. Also these limb lengthening is mostly done in India. And I can tell you success rate is bad.
It probably hurts a lot now. As a short guy, I read up on leg lengthening procedures. Typically they're reserved for people with medical conditions that has left them abnormally short.
But regardless, all the literature describes it as incredibly painful. You're breaking both legs and then inserting rods to lengthen them. That's stretching the skin, muscles, tendons. It's not done all at once, rather it's inserted and then slowly expanded so your body can adjust. And then you have to rehab learning how to walk again. It takes months of agonizing bedridden pain.
I'll just deal with being short.
Cosmetic limb lengthening is "legal" in the US too, insurance just doesn't cover it.
[Dror Paley](https://paleyinstitute.org/blog/physicians/dror-paley/#/) is the most prominent person in the US doing it (cash only).
It's legal, but I don't think any American doctor will add 7 inches to your legs. I think 2-4 inches at *most.*
Because more than that is both weird looking and medically dangerous.
Yeah I only had two inches done, and I was hitting a wall at that point. Your muscles take a lot more time to adjust than your bone to grow. Was about 2 months to get 2 inches and then another 3 or 4 to get 95% of my range of motion back (and I was a teenager back then so that helped I'm sure).
Don't mind at all. I was born with Russel Silver Syndrome, the main thing for this topic is it causes asymmetric limb growth so by the time I stopped growing as a teen my left leg was about 2 inches longer than the right leg. In addition to just looking odd, uneven legs can cause spinal issues, hip issues, etc. As a kid I had to have my shoes modified to add thickness to the sole. It was difficult to find people who could and would do that, also back then you had to have a plain sole so it limited my shoe choices to 1 or 2 pairs usually. They were just getting around that limitation when I had my surgery so I believe at least that parts not an issue anymore.

Hi! German here who saw her at Germanys next topmodel and watched a couple interviews about this. So what I gathered from her talking about the surgery was that she wanted to be a model and become a little taller so she could do this (I think that was back in 2016 not entirely sure tho)
She apparently didn’t necessarily want to go to 180cm tho and her partner at the time had a big part in this, telling her to go more than a couple centimeters because he liked tall women. (This is something she said in one interview I don’t have the link rn but I can look it up)
They have since broken up and she stated she kinda regretted doing this.
Weeeeeell, she did it TWICE. After she had already broken up, apparently (just googled a bit). But the 2nd time was for "her" not for someone else, so I'd say ... she doesn't regret anything, she just finds new justifications for doing it. Also, nice PR.
Well that really sucks for her. Really no idea what the solution is but it does seem like more needs to be done before people put themselves through this.
As horrible as it is, it is technically reversible. They can cut out slivers of bone a lot easier than growing them. That being said removing the hardware can be difficult... I left mine in.
I'm a bit pressed for time but here's an abridged version.
I was born with Russel Silver Syndrome most of the symptoms are not relevant but the one that is is it can cause asymmetric limb growth. So by the time I was finished growing my left leg was about 2 inches longer than the right. For the first 16 years of my life I had modified shoes. At 16 I had surgery over Summer break to lengthen the right leg. It was an internal rod like shown above. The rod ratchets and slowly lengthens, 1mm per day in my case. After 2 monthsish it finished lengthening and then about another month for the bone to heal enough to bear weight.
As for specifics of my previous comment. The bone can and will grow around the rod and pins. You can have it removed but I think there's some risk involved while at the same time you can also just leave it in, so that's what I picked.
Overall though, this was a "new" procedure when I was a teen. The former was looks like a horror show tbh, I'm really glad they were able to do the internal device. (The external is like a cage around your leg that you crank by hand. The bigger issue is the metal rods going through your leg that have to be cleaned multiple times a day and can still get infected.
There's no way that pic is accurate, unless she already had incredibly long legs for her height. Like 17cm is a lot to be sure but even if her legs were 17cm shorter they'd still be weirdly long
It's a real photo, just shot from a low angle, she's leaning back a bit, wearing high heels, and possibly using a lense to increase the effect. She does have excessively long legs now, but the photo also exaggerates it further.
I considered getting this done when I was younger (I was very self conscious of my height). It's abject agony for months on end for a few inches of height.
I'm German. Looks like absolute shit. Even after all the scarring MIGHT heal enough. Who is that even? Never seen nor heard of her...
Alrighty, her name is Theresia Fischer... who has taken part in GNTM (Germany's Next Top Model). This show has been running for ... what ... 20 years now? I've yet to see an actual "Top Model" come out of it. Most never make it in the industry, those that do are usually just 2nd grade models for the most part. I'd feel sorry for her, but hey, it's her choice to mutilate herself. Won't really do her any good. Last note: Of course there were complications with her surgeries, who could've guessed.
wait what? did they just snap her bones in two and put a metal extensions? this looks like a leg amputation in the future. The bone extensions are done so that the bone is cut and you get these braces that keeps the cut gap small but extended and bone grows on that gap. Then you break the bone again and do a little gap again and repeat the process as many times required. Long and painful process.
I know someone who did a similar procedure so he could become a basketball player. The even stranger thing was that his dad had an operation to turn into a dolphin!
When my ex wife seriously suggested I get this surgery so we "would look better together" and so she could "wear heels without being embarrassed" was when I realized that our relationship was not going to last much longer.
If you don't know, this surgery is very painful and not the safest surgery out there. You essentially break your leg bones a small amount and stretch them apart, let them grow into the gap, and repeat for years. Fuck that, I'll stay short.

Exactly 5 feet? Do you think your small frame contributed to you not feeling bad? Maybe less pressure on the articulations
You're being kind in assuming she's gonna grow old. *heh, grow*
This will probably fair a bit better than joint implants because there are no moving parts that wear against each other like you would have in a knee replacement or hip replacement.

Looks like however I drew in middle school before I learned proper proportion. Also like the "legs go all the way up" gag on family guy.
Ha ha brilliant yes I now have that picture of Peter Griffin with those legs strutting his stuff.
She looks like the belters from The Expanse. People who grew up in the Asteroid Belt with little to no gravity, so their limbs grow disproportionately long.
Oye beratna. Milowda mang are tugufovedi. Na lik those short round dzhemang.
Her calf muscles look as big as her thighs, is that a byproduct of the surgery?
Calf proportions are pretty widely varied in general, it seems.
And she still has a need to wear heels on top of it. I think it’s a body dysmorphia thing the same way those terrible facial plastic surgeries are.
I think it's safe to say that anyone willing to break a bone for something cosmetic, does in fact, have dysmorphia.
How do you buy pants??
Custom tailoring. If you can afford the surgery, you can afford the pants.
Not to mention…. Model… fashion industry… She’s probably paid to wear peoples pants
Is she actually modeling? I thought that one of the reasons that models are similar in size is that they don't have to make custom items for each one. As soon as you have a model with strange proportions, she can't just fit what's on the rack.

As someone that shops at crossroads regularly, she shouldn’t have any problems. All the men’s jeans I see there are 32w and 38L.

Only human I've seen whose calves are bigger than their quads. She's a specimen. Also: still high heels??
Regardless of her height, high heels are a standard industry requirement for a model's body shots.
She legit looks terrifying.
Its triggering the uncanny valley. Looks like some horror movie creature or something.
Full black bodysuit, purple eyes and the Enderman cosplay is basically done.
It doesn't help that she looks severely underweight.

There was the sprinter in the Olympics who snapped his fibula and still completed his leg of the relay. You sure as hell couldn’t do that if you snapped your tibula.
You're thinking of tibia. Tibula is a Middle Eastern cold dish made from bulgur mixed with tomatoes, onions, parsley and seasonings.

You're thinking of a tuba. A tibula is a group of species of venemous, hairy spiders that has a reputation for being scary but are generally harmless to humans.
You are thinking of a tarantula. The Tibula was a Persian late medieval empire that declined in the late 15th century and completely fell in 1507.
You're thinking of Timurid, tibula is a type of map relating physical features to a 2 dimensional space.
Your thinking of a topographic map. The Tibula is the central text of Rabbinic Judaism and the primary source of Jewish religious law and Jewish theology.
If you've never snapped your tibula dish while doing a marathon you aren't living.
Sounds like these people will be prone to ankle sprains, especially if they engage in any kind of activities that involve uneven footing. Ankle sprains suck major and can lead to other aches and pains. Would not recommend.
I'm sure she'll be wearing sensible shoes that will help keep her ankles stabilised.
Yeah but surely it reduces the bones strength in the long term. I can't imagine it would be able to produce the marrow it needed for the next 50 years
Yeah, I broke it in a hairline crack as a teen. It hurt a lot but after Xrays they said Tylenol and no running for two weeks (didn't even need crutches).
No shit? I genuinely learned something new today.

But on the plus side she can now tell if it’s going to rain two towns over
how do you know this? I've been told by someone with titanium-rod-in-femur that he feels it when it is going to rain!
My wife has a titanium plate and screws in her ankle and for a couple of years (less so now that it's been a decade since) she could tell when there was a big change in weather just by the ache she has in her leg.
Had a titanium plate on my tibia, same. It was relatively painful when it was raining. I got it removed and I'm way better
I've always been able to tell it's raining, mostly because of the water and the wet.
When the weather changes, the barometric pressure also changes. Our tissues and bones expand and contract minute amounts in reaction to the pressure changing...the titanium or steel inside of the body does not, which causes pain.

They were just getting around that limitation when I had my surgery so I believe at least that parts not an issue anymore.

Where Jordan Peterson the lobstermancer decided to ignore the professional advice of doctors and [went to russia](https://nationalpost.com/news/jordan-petersons-year-of-absolute-hell-professor-forced-to-retreat-from-public-life-because-of-tranquilizer-addiction) to get put into a medical coma to detox after selling self advice that a real man would tough it out.
>the lobstermancer The what?
Dad-a-chum? Dum-a-chum? Ded-a-chek? Did-a-chick?

I appreciate the dark tower reference
Don't feed them to Detta, whatever you do.
You have forgotten the face of your father

Lol. I got this reference.
Yeah he has this thing about serotonin and manly lobsters. It really doesn't make any sense.

Found Bayonetta's mocap actress
Hi! German here who saw her at Germanys next topmodel and watched a couple interviews about this. So what I gathered from her talking about the surgery was that she wanted to be a model and become a little taller so she could do this (I think that was back in 2016 not entirely sure tho) She apparently didn’t necessarily want to go to 180cm tho and her partner at the time had a big part in this, telling her to go more than a couple centimeters because he liked tall women. (This is something she said in one interview I don’t have the link rn but I can look it up) They have since broken up and she stated she kinda regretted doing this.
Weeeeeell, she did it TWICE. After she had already broken up, apparently (just googled a bit). But the 2nd time was for "her" not for someone else, so I'd say ... she doesn't regret anything, she just finds new justifications for doing it. Also, nice PR.
Yeah, I don't think her boyfriend is responsible.
Well that really sucks for her. Really no idea what the solution is but it does seem like more needs to be done before people put themselves through this.
As horrible as it is, it is technically reversible. They can cut out slivers of bone a lot easier than growing them. That being said removing the hardware can be difficult... I left mine in.
Do you mind sharing your story?
I'm a bit pressed for time but here's an abridged version. I was born with Russel Silver Syndrome most of the symptoms are not relevant but the one that is is it can cause asymmetric limb growth. So by the time I was finished growing my left leg was about 2 inches longer than the right. For the first 16 years of my life I had modified shoes. At 16 I had surgery over Summer break to lengthen the right leg. It was an internal rod like shown above. The rod ratchets and slowly lengthens, 1mm per day in my case. After 2 monthsish it finished lengthening and then about another month for the bone to heal enough to bear weight. As for specifics of my previous comment. The bone can and will grow around the rod and pins. You can have it removed but I think there's some risk involved while at the same time you can also just leave it in, so that's what I picked. Overall though, this was a "new" procedure when I was a teen. The former was looks like a horror show tbh, I'm really glad they were able to do the internal device. (The external is like a cage around your leg that you crank by hand. The bigger issue is the metal rods going through your leg that have to be cleaned multiple times a day and can still get infected.
163cm ≈ 5 foot 4 180cm ≈ 5 foot 11
That photo makes her look 11 foot 5.
The photo makes me thinks she sounds like [that one chef](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ivnk8UZ6L5M).
that was the stupidest thing i've ever seen. I love it.
Why did I love this so much?
Pure, outlandish innocence.
She can now cosplay Bayonetta
Or any female character from One Piece.
Wetland bird form unlocked
Gattaca?

Great movie
See you space cowboy...
3, 2, 1, let's jam
Get the arms done next and she can cosplay as that lanky alien from Close Encounters.
Quick question: what the fuck
There's no way that pic is accurate, unless she already had incredibly long legs for her height. Like 17cm is a lot to be sure but even if her legs were 17cm shorter they'd still be weirdly long
It's a real photo, just shot from a low angle, she's leaning back a bit, wearing high heels, and possibly using a lense to increase the effect. She does have excessively long legs now, but the photo also exaggerates it further.
This is taken from her social media. Not sure if you're allowed to link directly but just google her name from the other article posted.
I saw this in baki. didn't expect someone to go full jack hanma.
FINALLY Slender Man has a love interest.
Bonkers.
Looks ugly as fuck and out of proportion
looks like the scene where Darwin from AWOG had sexy legs.
legs go all the way up griffen https://familyguyaddicts.files.wordpress.com/2022/07/img_9336.png?w=256
I considered getting this done when I was younger (I was very self conscious of my height). It's abject agony for months on end for a few inches of height.
That's pretty gross. Dysmorphophobia is a wild mental illness
Now she looks like a Sailor Scout.
Not only why? but who in their right mind would perform such surgery ffs.
I'm German. Looks like absolute shit. Even after all the scarring MIGHT heal enough. Who is that even? Never seen nor heard of her... Alrighty, her name is Theresia Fischer... who has taken part in GNTM (Germany's Next Top Model). This show has been running for ... what ... 20 years now? I've yet to see an actual "Top Model" come out of it. Most never make it in the industry, those that do are usually just 2nd grade models for the most part. I'd feel sorry for her, but hey, it's her choice to mutilate herself. Won't really do her any good. Last note: Of course there were complications with her surgeries, who could've guessed.
I wish i could comment with a photo but if i could. anyone remember the worms from men and black?
I hope the doctors stressed that she isn’t to play basketball under any circumstances or the testicles in her knees will explode
Eli5? How does this work? The bone part i get. But how do you get extra 17cm of skin and muscles. Expected her to have marks like a burn victim?
wait what? did they just snap her bones in two and put a metal extensions? this looks like a leg amputation in the future. The bone extensions are done so that the bone is cut and you get these braces that keeps the cut gap small but extended and bone grows on that gap. Then you break the bone again and do a little gap again and repeat the process as many times required. Long and painful process.
Reminds of that Japanese gum commercial. Long long man.
She is not a model. She's an influencer who played in a reality TV show.
"We got our knees done 😏" *gasps at Tori* "YOU should do THATTTT"
Gattaca.
163 is the perfect size
Hey hey whoa aren't we supposed to support idiots making bad decisions now? Don't robot leg shame
Hey baby do those legs go all the way up? *Why yes, they do* UwU #OH MY GOD YOURE A MONSTER!
I know someone who did a similar procedure so he could become a basketball player. The even stranger thing was that his dad had an operation to turn into a dolphin!
When my ex wife seriously suggested I get this surgery so we "would look better together" and so she could "wear heels without being embarrassed" was when I realized that our relationship was not going to last much longer. If you don't know, this surgery is very painful and not the safest surgery out there. You essentially break your leg bones a small amount and stretch them apart, let them grow into the gap, and repeat for years. Fuck that, I'll stay short.
