Quote from: Highest on November 06, 2021, 03:26:32 AMThat's pretty extreme. How short are you?
Can you think of other more screwing up tregedies than being 162cm tall in the place with a 175.5cm average height?
You have never had a girlfriend, have you?

Depends if you were malnourished it is a tragedy if you have short parents it was inevitable. It suck that you have get 8cm femurs (not easy) then 5cm Tibias to get to average but life is unfair.

I'm def not malnutritional cuz after 3 y.o, I moved out to Shanghai's CBD with my mom and my maternal and paternal grandmas are very short and they are both <=146cm tall and I guess that's why I'm so short. My parents are not short and they are respectively 162cm, 158cm.

If your parents are 158cm and 162cm how can you feel they live a "tragedy" ? Do they seem to live a "tragedy "? They were lucky and happy to meet each other and love each other and surely are happy for having you as a child.
Why do you say such things as that having Parkinson or being amputated is better than being short??!
Parkinson for example leads to dementia, it's a big big tragedy also for those who love the person, and if (s)he lives enough time, can't do anything, they cannot control defecation, etc.
PLEASE, as mate of you in the forum I ask you again, STOP making those comparisons. The other thread was already locked by the moderator and you keep coming to others with incel and against the rules of the forum. PLEASE.
Bring some positive things, we are here to support each other and be informed, not to put fire to people's emotions and make them feel even more distressed, sad, hopeless and disencouraged if with LL.
Quote from: Tenet on November 06, 2021, 03:41:44 PMAlright, I'm sorry to hear that man.
So you are 5'0 or 152cm? If you grow 10cm, you'd be 162cm. What exactly would that change? You would still be seen as super short either way. But if you can make it to 165cm, then it might make a difference.
Hi.
I have 152/153 cm with no shoes. (Maybe my conversion to 5"00 is wrong).
I understand it may difficult to understand why it would de diferent 162 cm but for me it's harder to understand why making this radical and challenging surgery to pass from 175 to 182cm.
It's always subjective. I feel stature differently although have height neurosis. In my country maybe people and girls are more open, they evaluate boys also from other perspectives.
If I get 13/14 cm LL and use (hidden) 5cm platform shoes I would be ok.

(ignoring that absurd, provocative, incel, retarded, uninformed, disrespectful comparison with leukemia and Parkinson)
But about the rest, why is that? Why people with 5""1 can't get LL??
Those with Constitutional Short Stature, CSS (the 2,3% shorter among their sxx in their population, like for example 5""1) are those that most need and serious hospitals prioratize (following people with diseases like dwarfism, achondroplasia, some other congénital, genetic disease, etc, or people amputated or severely hurt in accidents).
In fact it was for these, following WW2 that the procedure was invented, not for 5""9 tall people and other with totally normal lenght values (who may have height neurosis and whose option is to be respected however),
But purely cosmetic LL was considered medically unethical until years ago and even Ilizarov had a hard time justifying doing that for "not extremely short" people.
Why? Of course because it has risks and the first medical ethics principle is "I shall do no harm".
In fact I am 5""00, with height neurosis and otherwise healthy, like allmost all with CSS (it's a condition, not a disease). In fact, if I had less 4 cm I would have public funded paid LL even with no accompanying disease.
Your post is very unwise, you are surely misinformed and hurts people like me that are called like whom have no
hope and are a weird exception within the already exception of LLers.
Well, for those near lenght averages, lenght is a pure psychological issue. There are people that really suffer from Body Dismorphic Disease and who will never consider themselves tall enough.
That's also why serious doctors allways make or order a psychological assessment prior to LL (also to try to predict if the person will be resilient enough during the whole process).
Can you understand that a person like me, if I grow 10 cm would be happy? I had 3 girlfriends, have height neurosis but don't need to be "tall". I just want not to be "super short".
Sorry. But I am still wondering if you were malnourished or suffering from CSS out of blue?

What country are you from?
FYI, I can completely understand why you’d want to get LL at your height. And I’d like to reassure you that at 168-170 cm with a good build, no one is going to notice your height or treat your much differently. That I know from experience.

LL can't get him taller up to 168-170 if we are not discussing about the height with lifters on or Paley's Option 3.
I dunno if CSS happens just out of blue or for some reasons but it seems like I am also one of CSS adults cuz I was not malnourished and my genes are not too bad. So I'm skeptical about if I am also a CSS man.
My height is 162cm just as mentioned above.

He mentioned that he would wear small lifts. So, 14+4 cm would be about 170-171 cm (my current height).
