It looks like medieval torture, from the metal rods inserted into sawn bones to the months of agonising recovery. But to some, travelling to Turkey to gain a few inches is a (very high) price worth paying

    “Beauty is pain” is a saying from women

    -Some women bind their legs to stay petite, permanently crippling them.

    -Most long term hair removal is painful

      Bindings are certainly crazy, IMO.

      Hair removal v. bone surgery is not the same.
