Long story short I'm 5'1 21 yr old male and i'm not happy with my height and have a few questions
Whens the best time to get limb lengthening .. is the longer i leave it the worse it will be ?
How tall can I except to become ? Is 15cm realistic ? My goal height is 5'6 or 170cm
If u do it now u can tell your friends you had a growth spurt
Thats a very good idea! 
However I am turning 22 in 12 days ... also forgot to mention I had a ACL Surgery on my torn knee a year ago ...can this affect my chances of having a limb lengthening surgery ?
If you use external method there should be no interference with the knee..
Sorry for my ignorance .. what exactly is a external method?
U can either have an external device which means you'll have pins fixed into the bone which are in turn fixed to a device outside of your leg.. Or internal device which requires the surgeon to cut you open at the knee and insert a rod inside your bone whether it be your tibia sot your femurs..
Also 15cm , done over 2 segments is possible but quite dangerous.. I think 6cm max on tibia sand 5cm max on femurs for a total of 11cm
Thanks for that info! sucks I cant do 15 
I guess ill just wear shoe lifts to make up for my future height ... is the tibia and femurs all done in one procedure ? How much would this roughly cost getting it done in Australia ?
U can but it's better to do tibia first than once they have fully healed go on to do femurs. Not sure how much it would cost in australia

Australian doctors are pretty anti-LL for some reason. You might have to get it done overseas. People's budget usually determines which doctor they go to since prices vary so much.
