I'm now ready to take the plunge - Seeking advice. My story

Edit Post

Hi guys, I hope you're all doing well. All my life I've been below average height in America. Objectively, it's affected multiple facets of my life from dating to work but most importantly on how I see myself. I'm 29 and 5'4" (165cm). I've always put those concerns to the side but recently it lead me to a very deep depression for about 2 years after some events that were due to my height. After so much assessing my choices and through different avenues of therapy and self-reflection, I've realized LLS is the one thing that would make me happier and change my life for the better (As I'm sure you all know the feeling of). For a year I've been saving up money and researching Doctors but realized It's still going to take some time financially to get to a point where I can pay for this. So that leads me to some questions:

Has anyone been operated on through a LLS clinical trial?
Most of the recommended Drs in Turkey confirmed I can reach at least 5'9/5'10" with both the femur and tibia surgeries. Is this common?
Could anyone recommend Doctors in other parts of the world so I could research them with strong cost effectiveness? The US prices are very disheartening.

Cheers

Really appreciating these replies - keep them coming. Is anyone aware if there's any clinical/experimental trials for LLS in the US?
