Dynzell Sigers was tired of being rejected by women because of his height, prompting him to undergo leg-lengthening surgery.
For just over $81,000, the bachelor ditched his short king status — towering now at 6 feet tall, he feels “like a new man.”
“All my life I struggled with viewing myself as a small person and no matter what I did to change it I always felt the same,” Sigers, 27, told The Post in an email. “Limb lengthening gave me the opportunity to change my life and the way I perceive life as a whole.”
As a teen, he was rejected by his crush because he “was too short and too young for her,” he told NeedToKnow.co.uk.

“I held on to that and would always consider my height before approaching women which would often cause me to miss out on opportunities,” the Atlanta native told NeedToKnow.co.uk.
After his surgery, Sigers is beaming with newfound confidence.Jam Press/@mrbrokenbonezSigers, who described his younger self as “timid and reserved,” once feared “being judged” and even refused to join school sports teams due to his “small stature.”
For years, Sigers researched how to add some height to his frame, but to no avail — until he stumbled upon a procedure that would later change his life.
Limb lengthening surgery, Sigers said, seemed like a viable option, and he booked his appointment immediately.
“I had no particular inspiration, but I just knew I wanted to recreate my body and mind,” said the former Navy medic. “And what better way than increasing my height and getting in great shape.”
“I was always a very timid and reserved child and was always scared to be myself out of fear of being judged or unaccepted,” he said.Jam Press/@mrbrokenbonez
After his surgery, he’ll stand at a towering 6 feet.Jam Press/@mrbrokenbonezTowards the end of last year, he underwent the first of six surgeries, which involved cutting the bone in half, inserting a rod and attaching external fixators that, when turned, lengthen the bone over 90 days.
“At the end of the 90 days, when you reach your desired height, which is a maximum of four inches on the upper leg and three inches on the lower leg, the external fixator is removed and the internal rod is left in place,” he explained.
When the new bone has finally “grown in,” the rod is removed — but that could take up to a year, he said.
His recovery has been “very smooth” with the introduction of physiotherapy to learn how to walk again, which he has now done twice.

Extensive therapy is required post-op to increase mobility.Jam Press Vid/@mrbrokenbonezOn TikTok, where he touts nearly 17,000 followers, he has documented his journey to 6-feet.
Humorously dubbing the procedure his “knee-BL” — a play on BBL, or Brazilian Butt Lift — he posted before-and-after photos of his astonishing height difference.
“Height has neverrrrrr been this serious,” one viewer wrote. “Short kings get love too.”
“This looks very painful,” another grimaced.
“Gained 5 inches and lost the ability to walk/run/jump play any sports,” commented someone else.
Despite viewers bashing his decision, Sigers has gained a wealth of confidence and says he has no regrets.

Despite blowback online, he has “no regrets.”Jam Press Vid/@mrbrokenbonez“I have no regrets and decided to share my journey with the world to let other men who feel the same know that there is another option for them,” he told The Post.
Now, he no longer hides behind a bashful guise and instead feels a heightened sense of self-worth and confidence.
“I’ve also been able to garner much more attention from women and I have no reservations about approaching them,” he told NeedToKnow.
“I feel like a new man and as though I was able to get a second chance at life.”

But he isn’t the only height hopeful who went under the knife.
A woman’s surgery, with a six-figure price tag, added five inches to her height, making her a looming 6 feet tall. Despite her above average stature, she claimed the few extra inches really do matter — especially in the bedroom.
One man, who already stood at 6 feet tall, underwent the same procedure to lengthen his husky frame to a towering 6 foot, 7 inches, while a 5-foot 5-inch man endured the excruciating surgery to enhance his dating prospects.
His outlook on life is his problem.
