Hi everyone, here's what's going on. I turned 17 a month ago, am just under 5'6, and am fairly sure my growth plates are fused. I'm getting a consultation with Dr. Samir Mehta in a bit, and I hope to get all the xrays necessary to make sure my growth plates are fused so I can get the operation
Anyway, how realistic would it be to achieve 6 feet in two procedures? Thankfully, I come from a family that is willing to pay for it, so cost isn't an issue. Also, my wingspan is just over 5'11, so I would still look fairly proportional, right?

I'll report back when I (hopefully) get all the measurements at the consultation.

Understood. I probably should have clarified, but I'm 5 6 on the dot in the morning, but my height mid day is just under. Realistically I won't be going with Dr. Paley, and Dr. Mehta's page on the UPenn medicine website does say a max of 6 inches, although idk if that's just rounding. I'll hopefully get everything cleared up when I see him.
