...But a surgeon has devised a new way of adding up to 2in to a person's height --inserting a silicone head implant.
During a 90-minute operation an incision is made in the side of the head and the implant squeezed in between the skull and the scalp.
Dr Luis de la Cruz developed the procedure to help people who would normally be too short for jobs with a minimum height.
He claims would-be soldiers, police officers, air hostesses, models and firefighters are queuing up for the surgery at his Madrid clinic. The operationcosts from £4,000 and is performed using a local anaesthetic.
Patients are usually released from hospital the next day, and the only sign they have had surgery is a small scar - usually covered by their hair.
Dr de la Cruz, 47, has already carried out the operation on 17 patients.

So you'll be a couple of inches taller, but with a pointy head.

I would think that would give you a 2 for 1, height and freebie face lift.

How bad could it turn out?

But you would have the respect of your peers!
One of my best girlfriends routinely dated shorter men. She was a striking and gorgeous blonde who stood 6'.

Oh, cranium, I thought...

Time to bring back the beehive hair style, that would disguise the bump nicely. :-)

Sadly it's not a good look on a man.

Or you could just skip the implant and go with a beehive. Seems a lot less trouble. And you can wear lifts in your shoes like Tom Cruise.
