Leg Lengthening Surgery Revisited

According to this article, 29-year-old British lawyer, Sara Vornamen had leg extension surgery to maker her taller. She was, like many petites, tired of not being taken seriously at work. This surgery increased her from a petite 5' even to 5'3". With an addition of only three inches, she is still petite, though not as short as she was at her "natural height." She still doesn't fit into clothes properly, though her legs may be long enough for "regular" length pants. Do you think it was worth it? I'm not so sure it is. First of all, she's still on the short side, and secondly, this surgery is not only expensive, but also painful and risky. Who wants screws in one's legs for months? And the scaring. Besides, most countries won't perform this surgery for cosmetic reasons. Sara had to travel to Russia for the procedure.
