Hello all, im crying as i type this and recently contemplated committing suicide because the body dysphoria is just getting severe and severe. im 5'2 and a half, 5'3 on a good day and recently been taking in as much information about LL as I can but unfortunately even if i go through LL id still be short (5'5) i just feel Id rather be dead than to be a walking embarrassment of myself. im not a ugly guy neither, not to be conceited but i think i have a handsome face. it just looks odd in my short small frame. my dream height is 6'0 but that is impossible. first of all, id look like a t-rex and the tallest i could be without risking ability to walk is 5'7 and even that is a bit overboard but i wouldnt let no other surgeon other than dr.paley make me that tall but thats a pipe dream because his way too expensive. i dont know what to do. if im not going to be atleast 5'10 i cant live with myself. i feel emasculated everyday. literally the size of a average 3rd grader

You can do 15cm to get up to 5'8 but you won't be able to run anymore and you may spend 50+ in a walker. Do arm lengthening and you will look 100% fine (just wear baggy tees). Apo did ~15+ ish (plus arm lengthening) and here's what he looks like:

He went from 5'5 to 6' I believe?

You can probably correct posture (or hit up A-Grow-Bics in Britain) + take glucosamine to get an inch out of torso.

Now wear some sneakers and you're 5'10.

Obviously this isn't optimal but it's a lot better than being dead.

I don't plan on going to anyone other than Paley honestly. Just save up and get your flexibility & posture up in the mean time. You'll get there eventually.

This is true. There are a lot of good options and results from other doctors in the diaries section. But because I'm a US citizen and I actually have family in WPB I'm really biased towards Paley. Read the diaries, that used to help me when I was feeling out of touch.

No doubt 5'7 isnt a bad height at all brother its just imagine if brad pitt or ryan gosling were 5'7. society would look at them differently and they wouldnt be as manly or whatever. I've seen very handsome guys rock that height. the guy that won most attractive when i was in high school was around 5'5. i say that because i remember being almost to his shoulder. i just feel its not a good enough height and the way women see it anything under 6'0 is manlet size.

And no, put 10 inches is insane. The most I would recommend based on some quads diaries are 6 inches or 5 to be safer.
