A Spanish doctor has designed implants for short people to give them a little boost.  The doctor has developed a silicone head implant that can increase a person's height by up to 5cm.

At first when I read this I thought it was the most ridiculous thing I had ever heard.  Who would go under the knife to gain 5cm of height?  Well.. actually the answer makes a little bit of sense.

Some jobs have height requirements.  So for people who want to be police officers, flight attendants, models and firefighters but are just a tiny bit too short, the implant surgery can give them exactly what they need to get into their desired field.

The implant costs about $8,500 and the doctor says that people are already lining up at his Madrid clinic for the outpatient surgery.
