Being this a forum about people willing to do an COSMETICAL high risk surgery, with probable secuels, it surprised me there are not so many guys talking about their mental health, so i'm doing it right now.
Im a 24 years old guy standing at 158 cm tall at night (about 5'2 to 5'3), and every day is to me a constant social anxiety situation when i go to college or some social event, i know people are surprised all the time seeing a adult dude that short, and that is so uncomfortable to me.
 I can do quadrilateral some day to reach, lets say, about 167 cm tall (5'6) which is totally reasonable to me and it could be so relieving.
At some point, i think that will solve all my problems, after all, i have so many other positive features, like a very cute face (strikingly cute at some point, the only thing that allow me to have some lucky with girls time to time), and my father, a completely self made man who born in poverty, built a fairly successful construction business over the years.,which i'm going to inherit someday, so my biggest problem rn by far its that i have the height of a 13 years old child.
It's kinda weird how much there are not so many guys my height at this forum, i guess that just confirm how much i am an outlier in the male height distribution.

I'm planning to do it at 30 years old like an upper limit.

A few years ago i proposed to my parents this surgery after realizing i was going to be this height the rest of my life, at 19 years old, so, a long time ago, and even my mother understood me and at some point she was ok with the proposal, my dad thought it was a total madness. Some months ago he told me he was worried about me not having a girlfriend since i was a teenager. Maybe he is right about how much this is a madness, because after all its a madness, mainly of you are not that short, but he doesn't seem to be aware how invisible you are to girls at this height (he is about 5'10)

I'm from Argentina, kinda average for word parameters i guess(?) maybe the average male height its about 175 cm tall or a little bit more.
 My mom its about 5'1.
Nah, my dad is not going to give me money for this, he is kinda right about how crazy is to do this surgery, the only thing i cant explain its how much struggle it means for a man being this short, and its compehensible. I will earn it in a few years (i hope) anyway, so i will do it with my money.
And... i want to keep myself in a conservative amount of lengthening to avoid at all cost injuries and long term problems, so i put my limit at 9 cm doing quadrilateral.
