A 29-year-old Colombian social media influencer Yeferson Cossio who allegedly underwent height augmentation surgery is now having sleepless nights due to the immense pain he feels following the surgery.
According to Jam Press Cossio says he went from being 5-foot-8 to 6 feet tall after doctors stretched his legs.
“I underwent the most painful surgery in the entire world,” the influencer told his 11.1 million followers four months ago when he underwent the surgery.
“Would you do it?” he added.
The influencer added that the whole process cost him 175000 dollars. Doctors indicated that the procedure is normally done for patients born with one limb shorter than the other.
Online users have castigated the 29-year-old for undertaking unnecessary cosmetic procedure, However, he has defended the decision stating that just like every other human being he also had his insecurities.
The road to recovery has been turbulent for the Influencer, and he may require surgery to lengthen his tendons to relieve some of the pain.
He’s scheduled to have another surgery on Jan. 25 and has had to schedule several checkups due to the pain he is suffering from.
“I am going to check that everything is still okay to undergo another operation on 25 January. I’m very nervous, I want this to end, but it’s not possible yet,” he said.
