Fear of being disappointed

Edit Post

Am I the only one to be afraid to see no change after the operation?

Edit Post

and also the fear to be disproportionnal
when I'm looking at 7,5 cm (max safe amount for tibias) it seems ok, but on a human ?
that would make me be 179-180 and it's still consider as short by many people (I know it is not, but still)

Yes, it's true
Anyway the doctor can advice about it

You should exhaust every possible means to cure your dysphoria before even considering this surgery AND I think it's something that needs time to reflect upon. Give it 2-3 years. Maybe you'll be cured by then, or your life will be at a point where it really doesn't matter. This is especially true for guys of average height, since they will never really be discriminated for their height. See a psychologist, try to be more active in your life, try to be better at things you can control. Heck, maybe even gaining temporary height via lifts or Yoga or glucosamine will be enough to satisfy you.

Height is only one aspect of who you are, and truthfully, the people who will really matter in your life are the ones who won’t care about your height. If you're gonna get LL, do it because you want to, not because you think you need it to succeed in the world.

Read my other topic. I took some month to try to overcome my dyasphora. It was ok, but I'm still insecure. More now that a girl told me she is taller than me and her father would dislike me for that (yes I know, it's stupid)
during this month I was insisting on sport, foods and having a nice lifestyle. To be honest my mom is not helping me for that, but it is ok as I grew up

maybe it's less
but from what I see most doctors don't go over 7,5 cm for tibias
am I right ?

Go to a shrink on the first place.

LL is not for people who are generally not ok with themselves but for people who know that their only problem with themselves is their height.
Everyone else needs mental help, not cosmetic surgeries.
