We live in the age of cosmetic touch-ups. A smaller nose, bigger ears, a little Botox to remove wrinkles. You name it. However, it is legitimate to wonder how far is “too far”… and look where, the one who has reached the limit is Yeferson Cossio, an influencer who has spent a fortune suffering terrible pains to increase his height imperceptibly.
Did not measure up
It happened in Colombia, where Yeferson has almost eleven million followers on Instagram. The boy is known for having a body full of tattoos and for trying to create a show wherever he goes. The latest has been to have leg surgery. But not to fix a pain or to prevent some kind of problem, but for purely aesthetic reasons.
Six centimeters. That’s how much Cossio has grown after the leg-lengthening operation. And it’s not that the boy is short, far from it: he has gone from being 1’77 meters tall to 1’83. 150,000 euros for a painful procedure and full of post-operative problems that he has narrated from the first to the last minute, adding that it’s not that he got hit by the car or that a narc has broken his legs, but that he simply felt like it.
And there is nothing more dangerous than someone accustomed to fame with too much money in his hands. For the time being, he has already been told that in four months, when the post-operative period is over, he will be able to return to normal life (probably). There are many who have expressed the opinion that it is simple clickbait and that he is perfectly fine, but, until the confirmation of the possible trolling, there is room for doubt.
By existing, the operation exists. It can be done. It costs a lot of money, you are warned everywhere that it is not safe and that you may even end up worse than before, but there is no law that prevents you from trying to lengthen your bones. Anyway. The influencer’s life is what it is.
