I can't even seriously listen to someone 5'10" talk about quadrilateral, or even bilateral CLL. Just go and enjoy your life at 5-freaking-10! 
. I'll get hate here...but if you they pay $200K for a new-grad software engineer, I either chose the wrong career-field, or you all are disgustingly overpaid to tap on a keyboard.
Height dysphoria is something people at all heights experience, and if you think it will enhance your quality of life then go for it.
Although I will say, from what most people say here, you probably won't want to go for the 2nd surgery after gaining some height from the first.

I agree honestly, I'm strongly considering only doing 7-8cm on femurs and calling it a day after consulting with friends. Regarding the comments other people are making, I think they are just bitter.

If it's that simple you are free to come and tap on a keyboard yourself. The average salary of a CS newgrad is roughly 60 000 USD$. I was asked how much I make to afford all this at 22... not how much the average software engineers newgrads make. To me, you sound bitter. I worked for everything I got, it wasn't handed to me on a silver plate.
I can sympathize with your situation.
The average height of young males < 25 years has somehow skyrocketed in affluent regions, even including ethnic groups.
My post-LL height is 175 cm, and I’m still noticeably shorter where there are younger men, ie gym, cafes, dog parks.

That's definitely what I am noticing. I don't feel short when I am surrounded by men of various ethnicities/age.

The average height of young males havent skyrocketed. You simply notice only those taller than you. Me at 5'7, I am shorter than average but do see many guys my height or shorter

This. Im guessing you're probably just completely disregarding all the guys you come across who are shorter than you because when you're around those guys it doesn't make you feel anxious. I'm saying this because I feel the exact same way sometimes. Everyday starts to become a battle of how many guys you come across who are shorter than you vs taller. If they are, you'll feel okay about yourself and most likely forget about it soon. If not, then you'll feel like sh*t because all of you sudden you think you're short. Height neurosis is honestly a b*tch lol

I think even a 1 inch increase in average height can seriously change how someone of "previously average height" experiences things. For example imagine the average height is 5'9 and the newer generation is 5'10. If all it takes is a 6'1 guy walking next to you (a 5'10 man) to make you feel short that event will now be twice as likely. If the average height is 5'9.5 but the average height of your surrounding is 5'10.5 (increased because of age, ethnic variation, geography, etc...) then than one inch difference will seriously impact how often a 5'10 person feels short.
For tall people, its height neurosis. For short people, its discrimination and reality of prejudice.

This is occurring because for the past few decades women have been increasingly demanding on the "6-foot-minimum-or-no-man-at-all" rule. As this persists, children will only be taller and taller. It's even getting to the point where the narrative is 6'2" now. "Gotta have muh height" -women.
