Freaky! Man with nine toes on foot finally has surgery
For 21 years, Ajun was ashamed to even date a girl because he was afraid of being rejected. But he recently had his confidence restored by removing four of his toes.
According to LADBible, doctors spent nine hours in surgery performing the rare procedure. Ajun was born with the deformity, but his parents didn't want the doctors to remove them because they believed he was 'lucky' and the extra toes were a gift from the heavens.
Ajun was 10 when he stopped wearing sandals because he was embarrassed about his foot, and chose to always have his little piggies covered.

His doctor, Wu Xiang, said: "It's very rare to see such a serious deformity having not been treated in a 21-year-old patient.
"Other hospitals would've just removed his outermost extra toes. That would've been the easiest solution, but it wouldn't look the best. His most natural-looking toe is on the outside, so we decided to migrate it inwards to its most ideal position, replacing his fifth digit and creating a new big toe."
The young man now has the confidence to ask a girl on a date.
