Moses Gibson, a guy from the United States, underwent surgery to increase his height by a few inches in an effort to feel more confident.
Gibson struggled with talking to women because of self-doubt after seeing other guys his age have growth spurts that he did not, according to a Daily Mail report. Gibson had experienced insecurities about his height since he was 15 years old.
In a last-ditch effort to get taller, he took several drugs and even got in touch with a “spiritual healer” online who claimed to be able to help him.
After exhausting all other possibilities, Moses ultimately made the decision to get surgery to grow larger.
Speaking about how he struggled with his height, he said, “I’ve struggled with my height. Even when I was in high school, I was always unhappy with my height.

“When I was like 15, I realized most of my peers were taller than me. It started getting to me gradually.”
He learned about a procedure that could lengthen his legs, and he began working extra hours to save up enough money for the surgery during college.
After working as a software engineer during the day and as an Uber driver at night for three years, he underwent surgery to add three inches to his height in 2016, but seven years later has had a second round and is using a height-lengthening device.
Doctors broke Moses’ tibia and fibula bones and inserted magnetic, limb-lengthening nails into them.
He must now use a height-lengthening device three times per day, pulling the cut bones apart one millimetre at a time.
