Be realistic and don't say they have to cover it for all of us. I'm 5'8 and i don't think insurance has to cover it for me and all males above 5'4

Insurance doesn't cover cosmetic surgery.

EDIT: If snowballs fell in hell and they ever did, it would be for people classified as 'midgets'. 4'8 and under or so. Definitely not for a 5'4 guy.

I think this surgery is really necessary for males under 160 cm, its a real and serious mental disease for them. You are 5'2 maybe your insurance can cover a bit if you can negotiate good. Btw how tall are your parents? Have you been malnourished in your youth?

Anything cosmetic is considered an elective procedure and not covered by insurance here in the States, although there are some insurance plans that will cover frame removal or corrections later. If you're perfectly healthy and just genetically short, I don't think CLL should be covered by insurance. Although perhaps it's reasonable to think that HGH can be covered if the height is low enough for the region where parents are convinced that their child will have a significantly reduced quality of life because of it. HGH is really expensive.

I believe in the case of people who are so short such as 4'8 as Penguinn mentioned they should be covered, not any guy who is under 160 cm. The criteria should be the people who are covered are those that would have to incur additional expense due to their shortness such as having to modify cars so they can reach the pedals and their houses so they can do basic tasks such as reach all their cupboards and counter tops.

when i look to this forum i see many short males who're about 155 cm and it must suck to be their height. there are 178cm people over here who are depressed about their height. imagine how a 155 cm guy must feel. i think its a serious mental disease for them.

Being ugly can cause severe depression, but insurance won't cover facial re-constructive surgery. My parents are 5'4.5 and 4'10/4'11, I'm at the right height considering how tall my parents are. I wasn't malnourished at all.
