From my own experience I will say that if you are 5'8, but you say that you are 5'9, girls who are 5'6-5'7 can sometimes guess that you are lying 😂

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.

Hello everyone long time no see....btw what ronman says kinda holds true but not entirely for instance i am 173 sometimes and for most part of the day i am 171 or 172 which is kinda 5'8 to 5'7 but i tell people i am 5'8..it is a height where i am nowhere close to being tall but not super short either and i sometimes console myself by thinking there are a lot of gr8 ppl at this height including hansy like zac efron and tom cruise..at this height some of my 6'+ frnds still respect me and some tease me for it but it's not like kill myself frustration....the only problem is with myself and my thinking towards life so there is a gr8 percentage of chance that i will be considering LL in the future....btw i stayed away from this forum for like 3 to 4 mnths if anyone wanna stop being paranoid or wants peace of mind plz do it..this forum is toxic and affects ur mental health drastically..only take in information which is necessary for u and avoid negative articles and ppl..good day and night everyone.

You lose .5 to 1cm max towards night it’s not even noticeable, you can’t go from 173 in day to 171

The average shrinkage is actually nearly 2 cm, you just measured wrong probably

Oof I was prepared for a  storm in the comments due to your current height being a common goal for many LLers post surgery. 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.
