Paley's Option 5, worth it?

Edit Post

I think if you already accept you'll look odd doing that amount it's better mentally. Very unfair to be a 162cm man as we don't have the ability yet to get someone 16cm taller without looking weird.

It's also going to be an insane amount of time spent recovering from all these surgeries, is there any chance of doing them sooner as you don't want to waste your 20s with all these surgeries like take a break from your studies.

Also be prepared for a long 3 year recovery as your breaking your legs and rebreaking extending the recovery peroid, as well doing arm lengthening it could possibly be 4 years till your actually normal better do it early then later. If I were you I would probably do G-Nail or Betz nail just for time savings and go ahead and do 9.5cm on femurs and 6.5 on tibia, yes your more prone to complications but your saving time and money.

Those are huge amounts for a guy who average height remember OP is 162cm which is tiny, it would be murder on his body to be doing those amounts without rebreaks. Agree the worst is if he goes through his 20s wasting it for surgeries just to be in his 30s to look weird as hell with his proportions. It's a really tough call.

I live in China and I know there will be someone recommending me to do 13cm instead but that will still be considered short due to the toxic ideologies saturating into the society now(The average height of GenZ is 180cm or so or even taller and many dumb ppl truly believe it and will disdain anything below 180cm as average). With a pair of shoes on I will reach 181cm or so after Option 5 but now I have deep fear of its feasibility. If I can't do Option 5 my complex inferiority will never disappear entirely, or maybe I should move to another country with less heightism?(Admittedly China is the most heightism country all over the world now)

Don't destroy your body. Do it upto 175cm and then wear elevator shoes. You don't need to be 180cm.
