Model Theresia Fischer went to great lengths, spending over $162,000 on multiple leg-lengthening surgeries known as the "Frankenstein" procedure

Theresia Fischer, a 32-year-old reality star from Hamburg, Germany, sought to improve her chances in the realm of love. Determined to please her now ex-husband, she decided to undergo a series of leg-lengthening surgeries commonly referred to as "Frankenstein" procedures. With a total cost exceeding $162,000, Fischer hoped to enhance her physical appearance and win the devotion of her partner, SSP reported.

Opening up to her 150,000 Instagram followers, Fischer shared the reasons behind her actions. She recounted a promise made by her ex-husband, who stated, "If you do this for me, I will always love you and carry you in my arms." These words spurred Fischer on her journey to undergo multiple operations primarily focused on lengthening her legs. Over time, she managed to add an astonishing five and a half inches to her height, leaving her former five-foot-five frame behind.

Brimming with excitement, Fischer expressed her newfound freedom and jubilation through a series of photos posted on Instagram. In one of her captions, she rejoiced, "Finally, freedom! How I have longed for this day. It is the day of days!" Delighted with the successful outcome, she shared, "The whole thing is finally coming to an end. I'm glad it's over. Today, I'm [six feet] tall." However, her joy was overshadowed by the immense pain endured over eight years, both physically and mentally.

Fischer's pursuit of leg-lengthening surgery is part of a growing trend embraced by many dissatisfied with their petite stature. During the procedure, a patient's femur bones are surgically broken, and extendable metal nails are inserted. Subsequently, these nails are gradually extended over three months, increasing the patient's height by several inches. Individuals around the world, frustrated by their height, hope to attract more attention and gain an advantage romantically by opting for these costly procedures.

One such individual is Dynzell Sigers, a 27-year-old from Atlanta, who spent over $81,000 to increase his height from a mere five-foot-six to an impressive six-foot-tall. Sigers shared, "Limb lengthening allowed me to change my life and the way I perceive life as a whole." Similarly, Moses Gibson, aged 41, paid $170,000 for two surgeries, resulting in increased popularity in the dating scene. Influencer Yeferson Cossio from Bogota, Colombia, expressed how his $175,000 procedure vanquished his insecurities tied to his previous height of five-foot-eight.

Reflecting on her own experience, Fischer believes that undergoing this transformative surgery has revitalized her self-confidence. She recalled, "Exactly eight years ago, Frankenstein's implementation of modifying my body began. I [was] 24 years old at the time, deeply rooted in depression." Encouraged by her ex-husband's zeal and the yearning to find love and companionship, Fischer embarked on the endeavor to lengthen her legs.

In 2022, six years after her initial surgery, Fischer returned to the operating table to undergo additional procedures on her thigh and lower leg bones. Medical specialists inserted adjustable steel telescopic rods into her shinbones to stimulate bone growth and facilitate further lengthening. At long last, Fischer bid farewell to her years-long medical nightmare as the rods were removed, marking the end of her extensive journey.

Now looking towards a brighter future, Fischer relievedly shared, "Today is the day of days when I finally had the last two percent of my past removed from my body." She continued, expressing gratitude for the completion of her surgery, stating, "The two extension rods with screws have finally been removed from my lower legs."

While Fischer acknowledges there is emotional healing yet to come, she now possesses the strength to tackle any remaining emotional obstacles. She credits her new partner, Stefan Kleiser, aged 57, as her beloved supporter in this transformative journey. Fischer is eagerly stepping into a new chapter in her life, ready to leave behind the painful past and embrace a future full of possibilities.
