I am 19 years old, my height is 156cm 5ft1/2. My goal is to do 2 surgeries and gain a total of 5inches. If not I’ll just go for 3inches. So I was worried and wanted to see how I would look if I had gained 5inches. I had an Idea in mind. So I put a layer of books 5inches high in height and stood on them. I held a size medium pant to make it look as if I’m wearing it. Abit foolish but I thought I’d give it a try. I think it doesn’t look too bad... please don’t be too harsh as it’s only an experiment...

My top half of the body is fairly short as I’m only 156cm tall... but I believe if I go gym and gain some weight I could possibly look normal... please give me your honest opinions and let me know if look proportional or not. I believe I don’t look too bad...

This is the photo, it’s only a experiment please don’t be too harsh

No offense but man jeopardizing your health this badly for 5inches and then not even being of decent stature is not worth it. 168cm will not change anything in your life because it still is short. Where do you live OP?

Well I believe if I go gym and get a decent top half it’ll do the work... and yeah 168cm is still short but for someone who is 156cm like me 168cm is tall ... and I will definitely do 3inches so if I want I’ll go for the extra 2inches. I live in the UK... so I could possibly have the money for it in 3-5 years max

Well 168cm is definitely better, but I honestly don't think it is enough to cause any huge career success or increase your luck with women. That being said, I hope all goes well for you.

I think it’s worth it. With shoes on he’ll be around 1.70-1.71cm or 5’7 which is around average in most countries. Right now he’s shorter than the global average height of adult women which is 159cm or 5’3. I say go for it, Gman.

Most people who have gone for two surgeries regret their decision. Not only is it a huge burden financially, but it is physically brutal.

Think this through to be honest and read into patient diaries.

Can I ask how you fare with women out of curiosity?

 The mockup looks doable imo if you build a lot of muscle and wore bigger shirts and had muscular legs but I'd rather stop at 170-172 cm and wear lifts if I were you and also consider arm lengthening to be more proportional. It looks odd in this mockup at the moment but I would hope better from a proper mockup.

Or you could do an InfullStryde and do a compromise of one surgery and then move on to other things, reaching 5'4".
