Being happy is the most important thing in life.. If someone said to you that you can choose either 1. To be happy but have little money or 2. Be extremely unhappy and insecure with a lot of money.. What would you pick.. I know I'd pick happiness every time.. If being happy means investing your hard earned money to make you your wanted height and get rid of those insecurities than I say go for it 100%. You can't put a price on happiness.. I'm getting lengthening done soon.. And I tell ya I haven't been happy for a long time.. But once I finish my surgery you won't be able to wipe the smile of my face.. I will be happy and more confident and my insecurities will be gone.. So whether you short, average or tall if doing this surgery will bring you happiness than go for it.. Don't let anyone else's oppinion stop you..
How tall is your idle height, And how much will you lengthen?
Currently 181cm going to 185/186cm.. I'm also out of proportion which I'm insecure about.. I have short legs and long body.. Having short legs also makes you appear shorter than you are
It's just hilarious that there are more above average to tall people on this forum who want to get taller than actual short people.

Whats your sitting height and wingspan?
I am not trying to discriminate against taller people or judge anyone, But i swear... This forum now has more 179cm+ members rather than short people by each passing day 
Furthermore i wish you the best of luck on your journey, Remember to keep us updated!
Seriously though if you're average to tall and are so unhappy then chances are you're not going to be happy after lengthening because you're just being a wuss in life. It's not like you have to deal with any actual discrimination or drawbacks with your height. It's just whining that you're not getting the easy pass that noticeably tall people get.
My wingspan is 181cm.. My sitting height is 94cm which means my legs are at 87cm.. An extra 4 or 5cm to my legs will put me close to proportion and at the same time to my ideal height..
I've been called short plenty of times.. Even girls who are slot shorter than me will say it.. If your insecure about it than it lingers with you every hour of every day.. So unless you have suffered from this than u can't judge.. It's just like telling a depressed person not to be depressed.. Girls get boob jobs all the time.. It makes them feel better.. Why is that not frowned upon as much.. Limb lengthening should be the same.. If a boob job makes a girl happy about themselves than good for them.. Same should go for limb lengthening..
You're 5'11.5 and trying to convince yourself and everyone here that you're short and need leg lengthening. That's just facepalm worthy. The fact that you compare leg lengthening with a boob job means you haven't even researched the procedure seriously enough. Boob jobs won't potentially give you permanent problems like nerve damage, chronic pain, potentially make you need to amputate a limb or two, etc. Why not work on other aspects of your personality instead of possibly destroying your life for something that will barely make a difference.

Yes, But imagine being 165-170 and aiming for your dream height at 180cm, And you've been discriminated against your whole life, People look down on you and say that you've got a Napoleon complex, And some guy at 181-182cm comes and complains of height discrimination, You get why they would be upset, No ?
Don't mind the short girls, They try to overcompensate for their own short height (which is sad) And it doesn't even work that way, If there is a great height difference between parents the children will end up short
You should be fine adding 4-5cm, But i wouldn't go over it since your proportions are normal for your height. And you will have a negative ape index with your wingspan and most men have 3-4 inches higher wingspan than height.
