Twenty-eight-year-old Alfonso Flores from US has undergone cosmetic limb-lengthening surgery to increase his height from 5ft 11 to 6ft 1. The $75,000 (nearly ₹55 lakh) surgery was conducted by Harvard-trained orthopaedic surgeon Dr Kevin Debiparshad. "I've had little to no discomfort...My bones are pretty much consolidated since...surgery," said Flores, who underwent surgery seven months ago.
