Age

Anyone here have this done at age 45?  Recently divorced and going through midlife crisis trying to navigate dating websites.  It blows being 5'6".  I'm aware of the risks and am willing to deal with them but the expense and possibility of losing a decent job, not to mention the money outlay, is making me pause.  I'm thinking Guichet but he emailed me his average increase is 2.68".  Really?  Doesn't seem worth it.  Can people chime in if I'm thinking of this the wrong way?  I need a push to see the positive.  Thanks, new to this forum

Well, got a stable job and about 2/3rds there with money. I want to do Guichet and I think he doesn't have a cut-off until sixty if I recall one of his early emails.  Does anyone know?  Being a contractor, I could always get my job back if i make it seem like I'm gonna be out for cancer or something major.  Good questions though Smallguy.  I'm 5'6" and 5'8" - 5'9" would be reasonable w/femoral lengthening. Otherwise, I'm in great health.

Really?  The risks are that much higher?  I'm fairly athletic, but damn, if that excludes me that would suck.

Good start, thanks. I"m not expecting to heal like a twenty year old, but I've done my share of triathlons, weight lift, bike, swim, etc.  Healthier than many younger dudes.  I would think that being older also means that some more desperate older women that are single or MILFs might give me more of a chance.  I'm not looking to club at my age but would be nice to be 5'8" or 5'9" with a decent heel; one less thing to worry about.

Right on Smallguy.  Similar situation as me.  Yes, let's talk.  I'm thinking by end of 2016.  At this point, what the hell.  I'm not buying a house anytime soon since the divorce and not looking to be competitive anymore, just keep in shape.  I'll be psyched with 5 8", def 5 9".  Good questions, and predictably, everyone says the same crap.....you're nuts, work on other things, etc.   But even older women are concerned with the same BS.   I have a great job, dress well, and his looking dude, but chicks would rather date a tall, uneducated tool instead.

Good points, thanks.  Still on the fence

That's, I did read it but came away more confused.   My other fear is, nothing changes for me socially, not just women

I thought that too about women, but you'll be surprised at the haughty cougars, most of whom look like   anyeaym.  Women want height but don't look in the mirror to see how soft and washed out they look .

Thanks for the thorough discussion of the social aspects.  At 5'6", it was harder to walk up to women in a club, but I could care less now because that's no longer my demographic. These are not the type of women for long term relationships anyway, but if all you care about is getting laid, $80k will buy you a lot of escorts .  Or just fly to Asia where it doesn't matter as much.  Being older, I really do have to think about this .  People definitely treat you differently.  So much to think about.  I'm also concerned about having less physical capability post op due to loss on possible strength , etc.  I'm almost there savings wise, I just need to decide if 80-100k is worth it for me

Thanks Sweden, the fear of ending up alone I guess, but out of a couple of billion women, all want taker men?  Western society is so full of crap
