Because a nose just sits there. It's a bump with two holes in it. Hands and feet are complex machinery, with lots and lots of bloodwessels, nerves and tendons and whatnot.

well... can they make me shorter? that doesnt seem that hard

i've heard of procedures to get taller, but not shorter. they'd have to break your legs off.

couldnt they like remove parts of the femur? it seems doable?

You're never going to find a doctor to do that.

i bet i could! i could be the first maybe itd be free :D

I'm sure their insurance carrier would nix it.

i looked it up on google its possible but nobody does it lol

I would probably need then a surgery to make my feet smaller.

a better idea is to embrace what you've got. how tall are you?

Oops! I meant that my feet should be made smaller. My GG sister is actually taller than me. :)

lol im 5'11" i want to be 5'4" and my feet are already small by male standards but i want them smaller lol and my hands too

5'11 models are all the rage.

can we do that?

lol ive been messing around a little bit on this thread but like the bottom line is there isnt anything i can do to make my feet and hands smaller?

Thpbbbbbt. I'm 6'1" and my hands/feet are large by any standards. You're lucky.  ;)

Own your height for your height is your own.

It is hard to find beautifull shoes that are not too small.  :(

Yes.  Use photoshop.

hmm well i have chopped a vw to make the roof shorter.........

Nurse, Get my my sawsall, STAT!!      :icon_chainsaw: :icon_yikes:

Sawzall?  Insist on the best.  Hell, for an extra ten bucks I'll even put a new blade in it.

Maybe on October 3, 2235 it be possible to get that surgery....

or closer

no.
it's not possible
there is no doctor in existence that can shorten you
Learn to live with those part of yourself that you can not change.

Even if it wouldn't be a doctor's nightmare of malpractice threat the shear amount of surgery would be far to much for a body to handle. I think SRS is considered to be the at the limits of what a body can take with current technology. But not only that the bones you have and the way they are shaped are the product of years of evolution. They are highly complicated structures and though we know how to repair we do not yet know how to alter.

Yes, there was an experimental surgery to graft a dead hand to a new body. Yes it worked, sort of. Not only is it still plain to see where the graft was made, but last I heard only partial usage had been gained. But considering that the recipiant was an amputee iany usage was an improvment and step forward. In your case it would be a step backwards and no doctor could in good faith do that.

Maybe you should invest in prosthetics, who knows perhaps in a decade the practice of replacing limbs with cybernetics will be common place and you can get your body reduction surgery. As for now, learn to live with it.

haha this post is ending up more funny than serious. omg you know what would really be cool if they could like make a blank human body and like put you in it. you could like look however you want and all this stuff that would be so COOL

This is a crazy thread!

You can get lipo, butt implants, boob implants, cheek implants, rinoplasty etc but there is a limit to it.

Making hands smaller? I've not heard that one before...as far as I know it's never been done...but who knows?

You could always chop off your thumbs and pinky fingers.... that would make your hands smaller :P
>:-)

lol @ matilda comment soooo funny, loves it

Why don't you just bind your feet like the Japanese used to do?  As for the hands, come play with my lawnmower.  I promise they will come out smaller.

I want a smaller head. So I went into the garage and placed my head in the vice grip, thightened it up pretty good. Two hours later and my head is no smaller. Plus I have a pounding headache and am now dehydrated as well.

I plan on using the woodchipper/mulcher to shorten my limbs this weekend. Does anyone foresee any difficulties with my planned weekend activities?

:laugh: :laugh: Reminded me of this three stooges episode.

The Three Stooges - Disorder in the Court 1/2 (1936) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwfo7E_gQf8&feature=PlayList&p=EAAE8B4EA55FDD06&playnext=1&playnext_from=PL&index=33#lq-hq)

This thread is annoying and it's giving me a headache.  The OP is obviously a flaming troll.  Can we PLEASE lock this senseless thread?  I mean seriously, we all know what can and can't be done and this individual thinks it's okay to ask for advice and then deny the advice in favor of pitiful arguments that would be better taken up during a counseling session with a plastic surgeon.

Nope, sounds like you all over.

I'm thinking of starting my own at-home plastic surgery biz.
I have a few pool/spa products that could double as chemical peels.

Yes, Heather, as it just so happens we do have an opening.

So, what don't you like about yourself?

I miss Nip/Tuck... that was one wacked out show!!!

BTW...hon' you look great in your avatar. Thankfully we specialize in "minor" work.

Take care... Mich'

well, i've heard some mtf on here say they lost some height on hrt. if you could actually shrink in height, then i don't see why your hands or feet can't be smaller. nero's right. lot's of female models are 5'11.

I've been waiting for the complete vagina transplant...all the way up to the ovaries...

If they ever need a volunteer, I'm here...

Possible!
There are also ones to make you taller.
I remember reading somewhere it is covered by insurance (or some insurance).

This stuff is really geared for people with growth abnormalities or physical disfigurement. The general public would have a hard time trying to persuade these doctors to shorted their limbs for cosmetic reasons especially as their limbs are pefectely normal. Maybe in 20 years there would be a commercial solution?

I have read articles about people doing it for cosmetic reasons. :) I will try to find them later maybe.

But, being 5'2 still rawks.  Cuz I'm fun-sized.

You're one of the lucky few. :)

if i were you i'd get really skinny then u can look like a model ....lol

im 5'6

I recently saw a documentary on tv about surgery on feet in LA - apparently girls can now have their feet smashed up and reconstructed shorter and slimmer so that they can wear the latest in slinky shoes!
...... discussion with the surgeon was interesting and it's a sure bet that hands are the next step 'cos "everyone knows that if you want to figure a persons age, look at the hands......"

Here, here! I've got to second that notion.

In fact, I've desperately tried to work out a prototype for cloning one of those things if we ever get to the point of being able to grow organs. My plan is to use two cells and separate the X and the Y chromosomes. Take out the Y chromosome from one cell and replace it with the X chromosome from the other cell. That way it would be your cells and the risk of rejection would be minimal. Sounds doable to me.
