I've seen this multiple times on this site and I need to say something. I'm not sure why many people on this forum are so negative and condescending to people, almost mocking those who undergo mainstream, extremely safe cosmetic surgery to improve aspects of their appearance that they are uncomfortable with.
Please bear in mind that many of those who are so negative and high and mighty concerning plastic surgery are debating or planning on whether to consent to a doctor snapping their legs in a very painful, unconventional, possibly dangerous and widely frowned upon procedure and then stretch them for months which may lead to permanent physical disability for the rest of their lives for a few inches in height. Many people would consider it insanity and several light-years more worrying than a simple rhinoplasty or hair transplant. I would say this leaves no room to be patronizing and act high and mighty to others in regards to cosmetic procedures.
Now please can we make this a more positive place and welcoming to users new and old? Many users have stated how they feel this forum is toxic, many users are negative and bitter and don't find it a positive place to be. Even if you don't agree with somebody, it takes only a little effort to be courteous and speak to them as a fellow human being. Many people are going through their own personal battles and being repeatedly denigrated, mocked and their problems belittled can be very damaging, almost too much for some people. I would expect many here know this feeling and should know better when speaking to others regardless of whether they can be empathetic, at the very least they should be sympathetic.
Let's all think before we post a comment and try to be a little kinder in 2017 in an effort to show people that this is a positive, welcoming place in which we are all here to discuss, educate and help each other.
you have a very good height. With shoes you are easily in 1,80 the perfect height.
Forget this surgery. this be worth the effort for people under 1'70.
you have another problems but the height isn,t.
perhaps much people envy you because they are so tall and you have a very good height.

exactly lol. some of the users here as evident in this thread act so oblivious I'm not sure if they're trolling or if they're serious. They think LL is the only surgery that's "justified" and doesn't count because you're only changing your height and not your facial aesthetics. I notice it is the same users who do this. This dude probably paid 5-7k or even less for a rhino while the people here think it's perfectly okay to spend 25k-100k to break their legs and lengthen them for a few extra inches. as you can tell some people here are pretty dense.
It's not about that he wants to do this specific surgery but it's about that he wants to do another plastic surgery you utter imbeciles.
But i guess we should pat everybody on the back and say that LL is nothing, absolute walk in the park.
Some of you really don't know what are you talking about.
LL will always be the last resort no matter what and comparing perfectly average male which did already 2 plastic surgeries to really short people that mostly got huge portion of a social stigma is just a joke.
There are more ways to cure height dysphoria than just crappy surgery that has a good chance to make you partially disabled.
But apparently special snowflakes will call every "negative" opinion "hating" or "trolling" unless it's censored with good addition of fluffy puppies and rainbows. Who needs truth anyways am i right?

Cannot be written better
We dont envy you for your height like an user wrote above, we are saying that not every single problem can be cured with cuts in your body, I sometimes think I am crazy just for consider this. Risks can be lowered if you go to a decent doctor, but risks are real.

Couldn't agree with you more. You can state your opinion without mocking, ridiculing, or being condescending.
That pisses me off. It's a help forum to help each other out. Maybe this guy does have bdd. But there are much better ways to tell him to really think about his decisions
Of course I don't advocate limb lengthening to ever be taken lightly, I thought I made that patently clear in my first post that it is very a very surgery with very serious potential side effects, much more so than any plastic surgery. Your point on ways to cure height dysphoria other than limb lengthening surgery is a very significant point in which I completely agree, if there is any other alternative then I wholeheartedly agree that it should be taken in place of the procedure. Unfortunately, this isn't always possible. I believe you may be mistaking my position of advocating respect and positivity as complete support for the original posters intentions which is not the case.
At no point did I ask for people not to tell the truth or lie about the severity of limb lengthening, merely to be respectful and treat people like human beings like a mature adult instead of resorting to mockery or abuse regardless of whether you believe the user is ridiculous in their thought processes or actions, surely if one is lacking the emotional maturity of basic human decency then considering a life altering surgery should not even be considered. This isn't the first thread and certainly not the worst in regards to some quite questionable posts by certain members using it as an opportunity to put others down for whatever reason which I find rather distasteful.
All I ask is that people attempt to word their replies in a more civil and respectful way while maintaining a non-judgmental outlook going forward to ensure this forum remains a positive and constructive place to discuss all issues regarding limb lengthening. It's possible to be straightforward and blunt without being hostile, condescending and abusive, as I said in my previous post, words may seem inconsequential but may have a profound effect on somebody suffering from height dysphoria or body dysmorphic disorder on a low ebb, to the point where they may never feel able to discuss the matter again which I assumed many people on this very forum would be sympathetic and more sensitive to, enough to give out the respect they themselves would wish from others in regards to their consideration of limb lengthening.
I've said my piece and hopefully clarified my position on the issue. My post wasn't intending to antagonize or upset users, merely to raise an issue that I felt needed raising after seeing several threads that have spiraled into negativity and vitriol yet has clearly been divisive and you seem to have taken it personally. Of course, you are completely welcome to disagree, I respect your right and any other users to have an opinion but I do feel that resorting derogatory marks was disproportionate to the post I put forward. From the many threads I have read through over the past several months, nearly every user in this thread has been a kind, compassionate and positive force on this forum to those who were in need of some advice and all I wish is that it continues.
Have a good evening.
