First of all, I am 22yo and around 5’9, perhaps 5’8 in the evening especially if I lift weights (I’ve noticed I shrink slightly more after doing it). It took me a while to figure out my main issue in life which is my height. Growing up I never really thought about it, I always felt normal per se, and I started bodybuilding at a very young age. Instead of focusing on my stature I focused on achieving an impressive body, I really idolised bodybuilders and I wanted to look like them. I am a very ambitious person, I take a good care of myself, I dress well, I have good posture and manners and in overall I regard myself as a succeeding individual, I graduated from a good London university in Economics and life is great but now that I am fully grown I started noticing how people perceive me as less of a man, I have a cute face I’ve been told that makes me look younger and with my mediocre height people often ask how old I am and perceive me as much younger. In pretty much all social situations people neglect me and I feel invisible. In terms of dating things are not much better, I genuinely feel women keep going after the taller good looking guys and I’m ignored. The only women I’m able to attract are average looking or the bad looking ones. I used to have a great physique from bodybuilding I even did steroids at some point when I was 19, erroneously but I can’t change the past now. Unfortunately, I went through a severe depression, after me and my ex broke up, and I’m still fighting against it. I gained roughly 10-15kg, I feel like crap but keeping my diet in check and working out regularly to revert it. I seriously believe if I could be taller I could be so much happier, I’m tired of the comments of people saying muscles on me look bad because of my short stature, I’m tired of, for example right now, I’m spending a week in Ibiza and I see 95% of the guys much taller than me and lots of women either my height or taller, I’m tired of being perceived as less worthy when I am a very bright, courageous and persevering individual than most men out there but no one can see it, only me, because the only thing others see is a short guy. I’m tired of this life, intrinsically I feel so valuable and manly, capable of conquering anything in life, but I want to be respected, I want to feel like a real man, I want attention from hot women, I wanna be noticed and desired by hot women and not seen as a teenager who’s probably virgin. I used to be so obsessed with muscles and strength but now I don’t really care about it anymore because at the end of the day I’m a short guy that’s towered by most guys. I am supposed to be average but how am I average when every white guy I see is taller than me? Honestly I wish I could be a tall man, it’s like a dream for me I would trade anything for it. I want it so bad I’m willing to go to extreme lengths to accomplish it, at this point I just want the means to get it done. It’s hard to write everything in just one post but I hope I could transmit the mental suffering I’ve been going through. I am a great man inside and I want others to see how great I am. I’ve been doing quite a bit of searching for a while now regarding the possible methods, pros and cons, patients experiences and so on. I would like to do femurs first, 3 inches, to reach that 6 feet threshold. People argue above 6.5cm for femurs can become problematic but I would like some opinions in regards to my goal and its feasibility. A thing I’ve observed in this forum is that lots of people contemplate the procedure, dream about it and discuss about it but never actually do it, only a small percentage of people do and I am one of them. We only live once and I want the best for me, who doesn’t? I thought also about doing tibias later for a couple more inches and reach, supposedly, 6’2 but it’s easier said then done. One procedure on its own is already hassling but if could cope with it and not become crippled I would return for tibias as well even for the sake of improving the proportions.
I can feel my stature is undermining my life
You're lost. You need to find if LL is the true cause of your problems, you will limit your athletic ability immensely and it'll never come back. Once you make that decision it's over and 5'9" it's definitely justifiable as it's below average height, but it's not enough to really impact your life to the point where you're at an extreme handicap that cannot be compensated for. At 5'4" nothing can compensate. At 5'9" it's much easier.
Think long and hard about this. Let the emotional wave pass and let the logical wave arrive before you make the decision.
I wish you luck either way sir
Don’t bother regarding the hot women. They’ll only give you trouble in one way or another.
Do it for yourself, when you’re not depressed.
But hell, don’t go for that much lengthening, you’ll look like a freak.
Good luck.

You are lost, making lots of imaginations in your mind and need a psychiatrist and not LL. You are trying to blame your height (which is fine) for things which have got nothing to do your height. I wish you a better mental situation. Thanks.
If your 5'9" wear bigger shoes. Yeah youl see taller white guys and yeah 6 foot or taller is another class of its own. However at 5'9" if you are having problems picking up women. There is something else going on. Then again being 6'2" might fix it all.
5'9 is not short. You just saw a lot of taller guys. They exist. Tall people will always exist. Taller people than you, even after a quadrilateral LL, will always still exist. Women taller than you will still exist even if you lengthened 20cm in your legs.
Here are some statistics from OYG:
Only 5% of American women are taller than you. 95% are not.
Be realistic.
We’re all here for the same reason we all want to be taller no matter what now I understand why people would be annoyed at someone 5’9 wanting LL but we’re willing to go through with surgery to be taller as well so it’ll be a bit hypocritical if we knock this guy for wanting more height, which is why I’ll never have a go at someone wanting to be taller it’s something we all want no matter what height we are starting at.
Now having glanced at one of the replies you got where it’s talking about you wanting 20 cm that’s insane numbers I say and it’s only my personal opinion but the safe way and safe limit is 10 cm over two segments and two surgeries it’ll be better for both your physical ability plus your recovery and to be honest you can get away with it perportion wise, so if your 5’9 then that would bring you to a comfortable 6’1 worst case if your 5’8 you end up at a nice 6’0 which really isn’t that bad
i also want to be 6 ft 2 
but its so realistic in my case ,just question of money...
here in central/eastern Europe,its hard save money

You are mistaken, first of all if somebody is blaming their height for failures that have got nothing to do their height it shows mental illness , second if somebody wants to be a model and feel tat is why they need to go from 5/9 to 6'2 or something then it makes a little more sense but not that much. It is not a candy that you just go and buy and eat and feel good. You have no idea what LL means and you have failed to realize that LL should be done/considered only in rare situations and not just because somebody wants to find things to blame (e.g. height) that have got nothing to do with their failures in life.
Dude, 6'2'' is not enough for top tier hotties. I'm talking 8s+ here. You need 6'3''+ to be in the top tier game now. In recent generations guys have become MUCH taller. And the club scene is insane, all guys 6 feet +, you need to be "THE TALL 6'4''" guy to stand out.
I'm 6'2'' and I only get laid with 7 after hundreds of approaches with maxxxxxed out physique, face and money game. Girls constantly tell me how they love really tall guys. Really tall = 6'4'' or higher. I see these guys with harems of girls. 6'2'' is good in shorter countries, but not in Netherlands, Scandinavia or Eastern Europe.
