A celebrity in Germany

Theresia Fischer (31) is a German celebrity who participated, in reality, in shows such as 'Germany's Next Topmodel' and 'Celebrity Big Brother'. She recently told the MDR Jump program about the leg lengthening operation she underwent.

A toxic husband

Although she did not consider herself small, at 5 feet 7 inches tall, Fischer was repeatedly encouraged by her then-husband, Thomas Berend, to have the drastic procedure.

"Typical model"

According to Theresia Fischer, Behrend expressed the desire for her to look like a "typical model" and believed that increasing her height by up to 14 centimeters could help her in this regard.

Manual process

So doctors broke the femur in each of the model's legs and inserted extendable metal pins. After that, the patient explained that she manually stretched the lower part of her leg.

Height 1.84 meters

Fischer, who had 8.5 centimeters longer legs on 'Germany's Next Topmodel' in 2019, after a first operation in 2016, reached 1.84 meters in height at the beginning of 2023, since, in 2022, he added 5. 5cm.

Regrets the procedure

She also admitted, in the interview, that she feels ashamed of having agreed to the operation, as she has always been happy with her body. According to German media, the entire process cost more than 150,000 euros.

Toxic relationship

Fischer described her relationship with Behrend as toxic and accused him of being a narcissist. She explained that her ex-husband isolated her and separated her from her family, which led to a disagreement with her parents.

Life like in a glossy magazine

After their live, televised wedding in 2019, Fischer noted that her husband wanted a life that looked like something out of a glossy magazine. In September 2022, the couple finally separated.

Stefan

Her ex-boyfriend, Stefan, with whom she had a relationship when she was young, helped her break free from her unhealthy marriage.

Helping others

Today, Fischer is in a new relationship and working to come to terms with her previous relationship. Her goal now is to help others recognize the warning signs of toxic relationships.
