Obviously this surgery is only currently used to straighten a crooked spine for corrective purposes. I'm sure the surgery could be arranged to elongate an already straight spine if the surgeon were so inclined. You'd be working around the CNS, and if you damage anything there, you'd paralysed for life. The prospect of this becoming cosmetic would most likely be reserved for surgeons the ranks of Dr. Sarin and patients as overzealous as Sysop. But if this were to become feasible, then it would enable an individual to overcome discrepancies in leg/torso proportions. 2.5in in the tibia, 3in in the femur and 2-6in (don't know the prospective range of the spine) in the spine would be quite the feat to achieve.

thats only for people who have scoliosis or cifosis, if you havent it you cant do it. if you have already an straigth back you cant put it more straigth because thats a brutal negligence, and you will have permanent damage/pain for overcorrection

The external part of the lengthening device for this looks surprisingly similar to the one used for Precise!
