According to the "2020 Chinese Resident Nutrition and Chronic Disease Report", the average height of men aged 18 to 44 in China is 169.7 cm, and the average height of women reaches 158 cm.
As China's nutrition becomes better and better, the height of ordinary men and women in China has increased, and height will also change under the influence of this great era.
in some blind date markets, height seems to be more important than appearance, and is an extremely important measurement indicator. The first thing many people say when they meet is how tall are you?
It seems that height is not only a measure of whether you are excellent, but also a reflection of your own appearance. So are you willing to spend money to break your bones just to grow taller?
01 I want to grow taller
"My son eats milk and eggs so that he can grow taller if he supplements nutrition."
"Mom, I don't want to eat anymore, why is my height the lowest among my peers?"
This sentence comes from an ordinary family in Beijing. A mother is asking her son to eat eggs and milk to supplement nutrition so that his son can grow taller faster.
Why is a little boy in adolescence eager to grow taller?
Because Li Yanuo, who is in junior high school, is a little shorter than his peers, he is shorter than his peers in every year's height examination, which makes Li Yanuo feel more or less inferior.
As Li Yano's parents did not think much about it, because people's development is different. Some people may grow taller quickly before puberty, and some people will develop and grow taller after puberty.
This is the same as children learn to speak early or late, so Li Yanuo's parents often give him nutritional foods such as eggs and milk. Without lacking nutrition, Li Yanuo can grow taller.
Adolescent boys always discuss some of their future ideals and wishes. When a boy asked about Li Yano's future dreams, Li Yano stirred his fingers together and said softly, "I want to be a pilot."
"You can still be a pilot? But let's just fall back, your height does not meet the standard."
"Hahahaha, Li Yano wants to be a pilot." When Li Yano said of his dream, he was questioned and ridiculed by his classmates, saying that his height did not meet the standard of a pilot, which made Li Yano, who was in adolescence, feel more inferior.
After returning home, Li Yanuo was depressed, and his parents also asked him about it. After learning the reason, their parents began to enlighten him and told Li Yanuo that the standard for being a pilot is not only height, but also academic.
That's it. In junior high school, Li Yanuo temporarily put his height problem aside and began to concentrate on studying.
After three years of hard study, he was admitted to a good high school in Beijing. He would have a physical examination before entering Beijing high school. At this time, Li Yanuo's height reached 165 cm.
Compared with his peers, Li Yanuo still has a difference in height. The students also laughed at Li Yanuo for growing a girl's height. In this regard, Yanuo decided to start trying various ways to grow taller.
First of all, go to bed early and get up early, get up on time at 6:30 in the morning every day, and go to bed at 9 pm. Ensuring sufficient sleep time is a necessary condition for growing taller.
Then I insist on exercising every day, playing basketball, jumping high, running, and all kinds of exercises have not fallen. I hope that I can stretch my height through exercise, which may be helpful for growing.
In the end, the nutrition every day cannot be reduced. In addition to eggs and milk, Li Yanuo's parents will also stew him with big bone soup and chicken soup every day. I hope these supplements can turn into Li Yanuo's height so that Li Yanuo can grow up.
In this way, after three months of measuring height again, Li Yanuo completely lost confidence in himself, because after so long hard work, he did not grow at all, and his height remained at 165 cm.
Looking at the 165 cm height column written on the physical examination list, Li Yanuo was so angry that he drew 165 cm hard with his pen. These numbers hurt Li Yanuo's heart severely.
Looking at the high school students of his age who had reached 170 cm, or even 180 cm, which made Li Yano even more unable to raise his head. He felt inferior.
Li Yanuo, who entered high school life, was even more sad. During the intercourse time, the students needed to go to the playground to do exercises according to the large and small stations.
. Due to his height, Li Yano always stands at the front line. Not only that, even the girls in the class have to stand behind him. Li Yanuo is even more inferior, so when faced with the fucking time every day, he chooses to escape, using his stomach ache as an excuse to escape the fucking time every day.
hides alone in the toilet or on the rooftop. Only when everyone returns to the classroom will he walk into the classroom and return to his first row.
Because he was short, the teachers all adjusted him to the first row, because he could not see the blackboard at all in the back, which turned into a ridicule in Lin Yano's heart.
In the class, Riano rarely talks and communicates with his classmates, and he will not walk with those tall boys, because next to them, I look petite and shorter, so in high school, Li Yano didn’t have many good friends.
Even when taking physical education class, the students were playing in groups of three or five. Only Li Yano was exercising hard and jumping hard to play basketball, hoping that this would make him grow taller.
Although he is shorter, Li Yano still studies very hard. He feels that he will definitely grow taller and feels that he will definitely be admitted to the flight school he wants to go to and fulfill his dream of becoming a pilot.
In high school, pilot schools will come to various high schools to recruit students in advance. Such a valuable opportunity is too important for Li Yano, but the prerequisite for being a pilot is to pass a physical examination, and the most important physical examination is height and weight.
students entered the physical examination room one after another for physical examination. The male students took off their shoes and stepped on the machine. The machine sound in the machine reported the height and weight of the students. When they arrived at Li Yano, the machine said: Height 166 cm.
The cold robot came out, making Li Yano's heart even colder, because the minimum standard for pilots is 170 cm.
's height of 4cm is not only the difference between Li Yano and the pilot, but also the difference between him and his life.
02 160,000 bone-breaking surgery
Due to the blow of height, Li Yano was depressed. Li Yano is on the verge of collapse every day. In school, someone laughed at his height and he would fight with others.
Whenever he returns home, he will have a big change in his mood as long as his parents' bodies are related to his height.
Li Yanuo's parents felt that this was not a solution. They heard from neighbors that they could go to the hospital to check the reason why they could not grow taller. The parents quickly took Li Yanuo to a famous hospital in Beijing to find out why their children were not in class.
came to the hospital. The doctor said that the reason why the child is not growing now may be because the bone line has been closed. If you want to check whether the bone line is closed, you must take CT to see it.
The doctor compared CT to this family and explained the reason why Li Yano cannot grow taller is that Li Yano's bone line has been closed, so it is difficult for Yano to grow taller. Note that what the doctor said here is that it is difficult for him to grow taller.
Everyone knows that the hospital must be cured by the patient's condition. It is impossible to tell Li Yanuo that he will never grow taller, so it is difficult to grow taller again. These words are deeply imprinted in Li Yanuo's heart.
In his subconscious, Li Yatou felt that as long as he used other methods, he could still grow taller.
So this family has gone to multiple hospitals again, wanting to find a way to open the bones. Since the bone lines have been closed, can we grow taller by reopening the bone lines?
has been to many hospitals. After inquiring from many sources, Li Yanuo actually found a way to grow taller. This method is called bone-cutting and heightening surgery.
To put it bluntly, it is to use modern technology to cut the bones, then penetrate steel nails or gypsum in the middle and then connect the bones, so as to create height growth in this way.
This kind of surgery is also called limb extension surgery. The difficulty and risk are high and the operation is very difficult. This process sounds too cruel. The bones are allowed to grow and heal again by breaking the bones, but when it is said that they can grow taller, Li Yano decided to take a risk.
After a series of searching for information and doctor's introduction, Li Yanuo's parents also asked him again whether he could undergo such a surgery. Li Yanuo's idea still remains unchanged, that is, he decided to use bone-breaking and elevation surgery.
is extremely risky and has not been fully applied in the medical field.
If the surgery is not done during the operation or the recovery period is not restored according to the prescribed requirements, it may cause amputation or even semi-paralytic in the future.
Li Yano still decided not to consider all the consequences. As long as he can grow taller, he is willing to try everything. He does not want to be ridiculed during adolescence, nor does he want to become a laughing stock for everyone to talk about after adulthood.
On Li Yano's 20th birthday, he decided to have surgery. Why did he set it on his birthday?
Because Li Yano feels that after this operation, his life can start a new chapter, and his height will increase after the age of 20. He feels that his life will be more perfect after the age of 20, but it seems that he has not developed towards his expectations. How painful is this surgery? It is a way that ordinary people don’t understand. This kind of pain feels not in a moment or a few hours, but often takes several months or even years, and the recovery period of such surgery is as high as a few years.
In order for the operation to be carried out smoothly, Li Yano has given up his studies, just to be able to grow taller, and his parents tried their best to meet Yano's requirements.
raised the cost of the surgery for him, and the entire operation cost was as high as 160,000, and the expenses for the future recovery period were not counted.
The family was under tremendous pressure and Li Yano went to the operating table. After the operation, Li Yano had a metal leg bracket on his legs.
The cold metal bracket pressed against Riano's legs. He no longer felt anything because Tongtong had already surpassed everything.
There was no pain in the hour after the operation because his anesthetics had not yet passed, but the anesthetics was painful afterwards.
Even if you get painkiller injections, painkillers, antibiotic , you will still feel severe pain.
The doctor told him clearly that he should exercise his legs every day, and even if it is painful, he should exercise. He needs to constantly learn to stand, stretch his feet, kick his legs, walk, and leg massage.
needs to exercise with an iron rack every day. When normal people feel pain, Li Yano persisted and every leg exercise was in great pain.
When Li Yano wanted to give up many times, the words that others laughed at him during adolescence appeared in his mind, and finally he persisted.
After a year of recovery, Li Yano did grow 7.2 cm taller. Li Yano should be happy at this time, but he didn't know that his future pain would follow.
A year after the operation, Li Yano was also very happy. Although his legs and feet were not as flexible as before after the operation, it was difficult to run and jump like before.
But he grew taller at least. The surgery he spent 160,000 yuan to grow only 7.2cm taller. Is it worth it?
03 Li Yano's current situation
In the heart of this 21-year-old boy, 160,000 yuan grew taller by 7.2cm, which is worth it. When Riano thought he would definitely end his hardships, it seemed that life was even more painful, because the sequelae of the postoperative operation arrived soon.
Li Yanuo first found that his legs were not as flexible as before. His family and he didn't think much about it. He just felt that he had not fully recovered after the operation, and the bones might not have healed, which led to his walking being less flexible than before.
Gradually, as time goes by, Yano found that his leg shape changed from the original normal leg shape to the x-leg shape.
Not only that, his foot bones began to turn outwards, but more serious was that he found that he was not very good at walking, and he couldn't achieve the jumping he had expected in the past.
At that time, the doctor had clearly told Li Yano that the operation had sequelae. Sawing the bones and letting them grow was very likely to cause infection. Moreover, adding steel needles or gypsum in the middle of the bones was even more unfavorable to the growth of the bones.
At that time, Li Yano was over 20 years old and his body was rarely likely to grow again, so the bones did not heal well.
At that time in 2014, this growth technology did not reach 100% healing, and this limb extension surgery is not suitable for height growth. Such surgery is too risky and requires great surgical risks.
Now eight years have passed since Li Yano's surgery. In these eight years, Li Yano has not stood up and ran and jumped and walked like a normal person. Now he can only sit in a wheelchair, and it is very difficult for him to stand up.
Li Yano could not recover before, because his bones had completely deformed. Now he is in his 20s and his bones have stopped growing. As he grows older, the deformity of the bones will become more and more serious.
This made Li Yanu's family fall into dull pain again. His parents took him to various hospitals again, but the result was . "Your son's situation can no longer be recovered. You can only take a wheelchair in the second half of your life. You can't stand up alone."
Such words deeply hurt Li Yanu's parents. Faced with his son's situation, they found the hospital at that time.
, but the hospital gave the answer, "I have told you about the possible problems after the operation, but you were only thinking about how to grow taller, and you didn't consider the results after the operation at all."
I wonder if he regrets his original choice now? Even though he knew there were sequelae, Li Yano still chose to undergo surgery. I wonder if he regretted it now? Although the 160,000 surgical fee spent on
once grew more than 7.2cm, it also spent the rest of his life in a wheelchair. The consequences are too painful and are a pain that Li Yanu's family cannot bear.
Everyone must reject this surgery to increase bone fracture. The trauma risk left by such surgery will never be repaired.
No matter how perfect the solution is, it is impossible to recover as before. According to reports, no case of bone-breaking and elevation surgery can be performed.
Everyone must avoid such surgery. Don’t spend the rest of your life just to grow a few centimeters tall. Compared with your second half of your life, I believe everyone will feel that your second half of your life is the most important.
Although height cannot create miracles for everyone, we can use the rest of our lives to create miracles.
Now more and more people are beginning to adjust their appearance and height, and everyone wants to change their appearance and height to the best state.
Of course, this is also a natural person, but before changing, everyone must consider the consequences and whether they can bear such consequences.
Nowadays, my country clearly stipulates that bone cut-in surgery can only be used to treat bone defects, limb defects and limb deformities, and it is strictly prohibited to use it for height-growing and other medical beauty directions.
In addition to such bone growth techniques, there are also many cosmetic and facial care techniques that have certain risks, and these plastic surgery hospitals often avoid these postoperative risks in order to make money.
I hope everyone must pay attention to these postoperative problems when they become beautiful.
Do you also have appearance anxiety and height anxiety? In an era when appearance and height are particularly important, how did you get rid of such anxiety?
