Would you pay tens of thousands of pounds to become a few inches taller? Nina Nannar travelled to Los Angeles to meet a man who has done just that. After a complex operation Rich Rotella endured months of painful rehab and physiotherapy, and now he’s able to walk again - as a man of average height for the US. The extraordinary treatment has been around for many years, historically for patients whose limbs were of different lengths, but it’s growing in popularity now, as a cosmetic procedure.

I’ll make an example of why I understand men that would do this using my own experiences. I’ve always considered myself lucky as I believe I’m good looking, healthy and well built at 5ft 6, exactly average in my home country, but then I moved to Norway, and average height for guys is 5ft 11 and women’s is 5ft 7. My whole life I never cared enough about my height to actually measure it myself, I just went with the measurements of my last doc appointment after my teen years. (I miss being this comfortable with myself) That changed when I got here, of course I noticed the difference myself but it was more that I was fascinated by the average Norwegians build, the “blue eyes and blond hair” is actually a thing. Turns out fascination of height, skin, hair and other things go both ways, BUT they like to make a point of it and discuss my differences with little consideration. The truth is sometimes I stand in a room of over 50 people and I still the shortest in the room, as well as my only one different skin. I learned quickly to love myself as I am, and that it’s no one else’s responsibility to love and or like the way you are. I’d imagine other men that are far below average height feel this way. There is no “body positivity” for guys, it’s more of “tough luck” support system and some would do anything to change their luck, and I don’t blame them.

I don't know, having grown up in Turkey I never felt like I was judged for my height.

@@wulfsorenson8859 Wow --- 4-5 extra inches is a lot... hmmm well, I certainly noticed a different in casting, dating and overall career. I think the way people treat or perceive you may have been different from the start. Being 5'8" you were never short -- you're average height... there's a major difference from 5'5" to 5'8" ... if you're still unsure to go speak with an adult male friend (privately) who is 5'5" or shorter - ask them about their experiences. Personally, if I was 5'8" barefoot organically... I most likely would not have gotten the surgery but that's just me; while I was at the Paley Institute there were people shorter and taller than myself getting the same procedure. One man was even 5'9" but wanted to be an even 6ft tall.... to each their own. Take Care ☺

He got 3 inches 5'8 minus 5'5 equals 0'3. Also it's the person get the surgery choice to decide whats worth it or not, 2 inches makes a huge difference and inserts are uncomfortable and not sustainable. Are you perhaps insecure of your own height and are unhappy seeing other people getting this surgery for less than what you think is required to your standards?

@@dw4525 My info was taken from what is currently listed from the National Center of Health Statistics, which is apart of the Center for Disease Control and the United States Department Heath and Human Services. You are more than welcome to do the math, but the average is 69 in and the standard deviation is a little less than 3in. So, that puts the three standard deviations line at approximately 5ft 1in. That’s why I say 5ft 0in is below that threshold. While the averages have increased overtime, if we look at such change during the past decade the difference would be statistically insignificant. So “much higher” would not technically be true.

​@@wulfsorenson8859 Hi ☺ so, I've been studying this for literally over 10 years... I can assure you that the average leading male height for all motion pictures and studio produced TV shows in America is 5'8" or taller. So, most movie stars are not short; they're average height or tall. Also, Tom Cruise and I are two completely different people; different relationships, financial resources, etc. Tom, is incredibly talented and a very disciplined artist; I respect him deeply. At the same time, please know that Tom came up during a time period when there was WAY LESS competition in ShowBiz. He was competing with plenty of actors, certainly. However, because of High Speed Internet, Smart Phones and beyond... the amount of literal competition in entertainment has 10x'd over the past 20+ years. As a friendly note... my leading man audition opportunities have in fact dramatically increased by roughly 30-40% ... that's a big deal. Lastly, I didn't become 3" taller for Hollywood... I did this for me; it's personal. Any exterior bonuses in life or career wise are just that... bonuses. God Bless 🌠

@@wulfsorenson8859 Youve also got to consider time period. Tom Cruise became popular in the 80's, a very different time. Back then height wouldve been less of a direct number focus and more of a relative focus. In our modern world, if you even look somewhat shorter people will label you with a number such as 5'5 or 5'7 which is seen with a negative stigma. Not to mention, 5'7 Vs. 5'5 is decently large. Also you have to remember that he's working perfectly now and is very happy with his result, so I dont think any comment you make is going to make him reconsider or think negatively of his decision (like he said he was confident before hand), which in my opinion is a very good one for what he wants to pursue in life. Also you dont know if tom cruise had any opportunities in his entire life (not just including acting) taken away from him due to his slightly below average stature.
