Hi, I’m 21 years old and I am 154cm, though I always tell people that I am 157cm. I lack of confidence because of my height, but I only live once and I don’t want to be under depression just because of some thing I can’t decide so I decided to take the surgery. But here comes the problems. The first one is the safety, my parents wouldn’t allow me to take the LL unless the surgery is pretty safe. I heard about that the Dr.Paley is the safest, is it true? The second is the proportion. My wingspan is about my height. I want to add 5 or 6 cm on femurs and 4 or 5 cm on tibias, will it look weird? The third is the fee. Dr. Paley is about 190,000 dollars, and it is too much for me.
I am so unsure now and I don’t know how to convince my parents. Do you guys have any suggestions or any recommendations?
Thanks.
