It looks like medieval torture, from the metal rods inserted into sawn bones to the months of agonising recovery. But to some, travelling to Turkey to gain a few inches is a (very high) price worth paying

    Does it matter? Even if the commenter is in fact tall, what was said is still 100% valid. Physical appearance is valued way too high

      I think it does matter, yes. Context is important or at least interesting and I’m curious, so I ask. And an honest answer would’ve been nice versus a bunch of bitchy and meaningless downvotes.

        What’s your credit card number? I need it for context. And don’t you dare give me a bitchy downvote!
