When should you overrule LL with shoe lifts?

Edit Post

Hello there.

I'm new to this forum but i've known about LL, getting taller by surgery, since i was about 17 years old. Turned 19 not to long ago.
I'm a guy living in sweden. My height is 170,4 cm and my dream height is around 180 cm (so just about 5'6 to just about 5'9).

I know that i actually should be rather happy with my height considering that my mother is around 150 cm and my father around 160 cm and the fact that there are people much shorter than me yet i'm here wanting to get taller... And my younger brother is 180 cm...

In any case my question is; When should you overrule the LL surgery due to not being too short like in my case 170 cm and go with shoe lifts instead, even if the lifts will cause problems in the long term? And do you think that there is a point in which you could overrule that?

I'm wearing lifts now and then and they do hurt at times but you get over it rather quickly.

Thanks!

One thing that is for sure is that people that are taller get more in life just because of their height, and that's really no wonder. They will be looking down on most people and most people will be looking up to them so psychologically speaking it makes a lot of sense.
(Like a king and a peasant complex, that's why the kings throne is so highly elevated from the floor level).

But imagine going from 170 cm to 190 cm... that would be rather insane and weird looking in the end. But my dream is still 180 cm.

Thanks for your answer.
