IN A bold quest to overcome rejection and transform his life, an Atlanta-based Navy veteran Dynzell Sigers spared no expense, shelling out an impressive $81 000 (about R1.5-million) for a limb-lengthening surgery.
Driven by a deep desire to be taller, Sigers embarked on an extraordinary journey that would push the boundaries of his physical limitations.
27-year-old Sigers’ transformed his height from 5.5 feet to 6 feet (about 1.8m) through an unconventional method – limb-lengthening surgery.
His transformative journey to becoming 6 inches began with deep-rooted insecurities stemming from past rejections.
“I was always a very shy and reserved child and was always afraid to be myself for fear of being judged or not accepted,” he revealed.
Sigers vividly recalled a pivotal rejection during his teenage years when a crush deemed him “too short and too young.”
“In my teens, I was once rejected by a girl I had a huge crush on, and although she found me attractive, her reasoning was that I was too short and too young for her,” Sigers through his TikTok account, @mrbrokenbonez.
This rejection stayed with him, causing him to harbour self-consciousness about his height and affecting his confidence in approaching women.
He admitted, “I clung to that and always considered my height before approaching women, which often caused me to miss out on opportunities.”
Motivated by a lifetime of feeling judged and rejected, Sigers made the life-changing decision to undergo limb-lengthening surgery.
The procedure, informally known as the “BBL for men,” presented a realistic option for him to increase his height.
Without hesitation, he booked his appointment, embarking on a journey that would require both physical and financial sacrifice.
The surgery, which began in December, carried a hefty price tag of $81,000. However, Sigers was more than willing to pay the cost, considering his past experiences with rejection.
“I was always a very shy and reserved child and was always afraid to be myself for fear of being judged or not accepted,” he explained.
To achieve his desired height, he travelled to Turkey where he underwent limb-lengthening surgery twice.
The gruelling process involved stretching his limbs to add an impressive seven inches to his stature.
