5'7 - 5'8 is a terrible height to be

Edit Post

I am a weak 5'8, which means I stand  at 5'7.5 for the later part of the day.

It's one of those heights where people tell you not to complain too much becsuse you're 'just below average'

But I know if I had been 2 full inches taller my life up till now would have been a lot better.

3 inches? It would have been radically different. A different reality.

I come from such a conservative family that they would likely be disgusted by me if I got the surgery.

But, realistically, it would be one thing that would utterly change my life if it went well.

I'm 32 years old and leaning towards getting it done in the next couple years. At my age it's a risk, but fk it, life is a risk.

I was 5’4 prior to undergoing surgery and that is truly a rough height but in spite of that I still managed to live a good life but with a bad neurosis i developed. Now that I am less than 1 inch away from 5’7 I know that going from 5’4 to 5’7 is going to change my life for the better but that is largely because my starting height was extremely short. Since you have always been that height I understand why you wish you were a bit taller. If you have neurosis and believe it will change your life / make you happy then I think you should go for it.

I'm sorry man, I probably sound insensitive with my post, considering there are guys a lot shorter than me on here.

If I had had your gratitude towards being 5'7, I would have done better in dating as well. So many wasted options.

I have a lot of things to improve- cosmetically and mentally, before I decide I must get LL

I am 1.76 morning height and most of the day I am 1.75. when I tell girls my height (I say 1.76) all believe that I am 1.80 or 1.78 at minimum.
So I don't think that lying about 1 inch will be found most of the times.

If I had more muscle on my body, it would be the same with me.

I am thin like a twig though. I have terrible bodybuilding genetics.

Putting on 15kg of muscle through TRT/Steroids would do more for my attractiveness than 2 inches of height.

But as someone already mentioned it really shouldt matter what your starting height is. There are so many factors that could play into you wanting to get this surgery, like if you were bullied, where you live, your siblings/parents/ friends heights are. I don’t think there is anything wrong with wanting to get this surgery done at your height! The nice thing about being your height is that after you get this surgery assuming you get at least 2 inches, you will go from a below average slightly above average height which would feel really good! (Based on US height).

I am really leaning towards getting just 4.5 or 5 cm

I know I will be happy with that, and my proportions would look ridiculous with anything else.

I was worried about risks with LL but I think for me, conservative option with Paley is the way to go.

I’m 15 and 5’4, I’m also a female. But being average doesn’t stops me from feeling depressed all the time.

Best regards!

Thank you, it is very fascinating to see a woman here who feels the same way.
