Do 7.5 cm then after look into if you want another one. You are gonna have to go that route wether you like it or not.

I won't spend such amount of money in dumb surgeries just to be taller, I actually think height is a dumb thing to worry about but everyone on earth cares about it for some fking reasn, especially women. Anyway, my sitting height is 79 cm while the rest of my height is 76 cm. My head circumference is around 22 inches I am guessing. Swingspan is around 5'2"-5'4". Shoe size 6 1/2, hand length 6.7. My lower body is pretty unproportionate. Btw weight has nothing to do with it, I could get taller and gain weight afterwards, anyhow there is nothing wrong with 102 lbs. I know someone who is 5'11" and weights 105 lbs. I also have a friend whose sitting height is like 82 and he is like 182 cm tall; he doesn't seem unproportionate actually lol but he is actually pretty sturdy perhaps thats why.

Maybe your target should be something between 5'7 and 5'9 this way you won't put too much pressure on you and probably increase your chance to make the good decisions while lengthening. Like you said it's just a stupid number.

Yes thats what I mean 20 cm, to be around 170-175 cm, I don't wanna be 180 (I wish but I would stick with 173 cm). My father is actually 168 cm so if I was just a little bit taller than him would be alright

Exactly. 173 is doable. I think 171-173 is pretty much the same.

I think 20cm for most people is not possible.  I think with a starting height of 5'1" you'll be lucky to hit 5'6" or 5'7" and look normal.  But I think that a couple inches makes a big difference so I'd be very happy to end up at 5'7"

I am 16 years old, I am from Mexico but my genetic compose isn't that of a "mexican", I actually have French background and my family is quite tall. My leg bones, however, are done growing so if I ever grow the only growth I may expect would be from my back (but I doubt it).

I don't think you're done growing yet. Men typically grow until they're 18-21 years old (For women typically it's between 16-18 years old. That's why they hit puberty earlier than boys do, and thus causes the height discrepancy between the genders that leads to teenage boys who begins having feelings of inadequacy as the get older). I myself was shocked to see I had grown when I went to the doctor at 21 years old and saw that I was nearly an inch taller than what I was at 19 years old. And I'm positive that at 19 years old I was taller than I was 16 years old.

You've got time. Wait until you're 20-21 years old before going forward with this. Though I wouldn't rule out saving up as early as possible. This way you're ready sooner than later if you decide to go through with it.
