Moses Gibson increased his height from 5 feet 5 to 5 feet 8 inches after undergoing a procedure in 2016, and is currently in the process of another surgery that will bring him to a height of 5ft 10 inches in May July of this year.
A marketing company in the beauty industry, “The Cosmic Lane,” shared a video on Twitter showing Moses talking about his surgeries. In the video, he discusses how he struggles with his dating life, and has tried different drugs and even sought the help of a “spiritual healer” in an effort to increase his height.

“After the first surgery, I started to doubt and not worry about the outcome when I talk to women. I have a girlfriend now. I also started wearing socks, and I used to take pictures full of body, which I have never used before,” said Moses.
What is the process?
Moses’ procedure to increase his height involved breaking his tibia and fibula bones and inserting magnetic, leg-long nails into them, according to The Cosmetic Lane. However, this type of operation can carry risks such as poor bone formation, inappropriate bone length, fractures, and blood clots.
After his surgery, Moshe uses a high-speed machine three times a day, which pulls the cut bone together one millimeter at a time. This process encourages your body to produce new bone tissue, which will eventually fill the gap and increase your height. Doctors have said that with proper use of the device, Moses will reach a height of 5-foot-10.
