I am not sure how safe it is. But I do know for a fact that bone stretching is very very painful, and that you have to adjust the apparatus every week. Why how tall are you?
what they do is break your legs at certain spots and install screws and other metal things; then every hour (i'm not sure for how many days/weeks, though) the turn the screws to rebreak the bones so the bone material builds on top of itself. You might get 1-4 inches. As with any surgery, there are always risks of complications; swelling, infection, etc. The newly formed bone is stable. This is being done in Japan quite a bit. From what I've read on it, it's extremely painful and recovery takes months, so I don't know if it would be worth it just to gain a couple of inches.
Be happy with who you are. Any surgery is risky and really, once you start having cosmetic surgery, you'll probably never stop and that can be damaging to your health and also your bank account.
No not safe. You can't shift a bone structure some things were meant to be left in the hands of god. This is one of those. The human body is uniform it has a protocol and to shift that is to mess with divine order leave it alone, get a stepping stool.
