Quote from: growth_journey183 on April 14, 2025, 12:23:41 PMHi everyone, I’m new to the forums. I’m from NY and I’m planning to get this surgery by early next year, since I need to save up and financially unstable at the moment. I’m between 5’4 and 5’5, roughly 164cm-165cm, and I have been basically bullied and harassed my entire life. As a child-to pre-teen I was a descent height for my age and my pediatrician even told me I was growing at a descent rate and would be taller than my dad by few inches, which he was between 5’9-5’10 at the time. Unfortunately I stopped growing at 14, I’ve been abused, physically, mentally and mistreated by, teachers, students, coaches through my child-teenhood and throughout high school and as an adult targeted even more cause of my height. I’ve faced tons of rejection, discrimination and more harassment on a daily basis. It’s been rough and this procedure means so much to me. So I’m considering getting this done. My goal is to reach from my current height 5’4-5’5(165cm) to about 5’10-5’11(182cm) roughly.

I was planning to go to Dr. Reif in NY. I saw his interviews and I really enjoyed them. Are there any patients that experienced him?

Can anyone tell me their experience if anyone has gone from 6 inches or even 7? What was the process like?

Thank you,

Quote from: GrowGrow123 on April 28, 2025, 12:36:35 AMI would temper your expectations about what's possible. 20cm is an extreme amount to length. A more realistic goal would be something like 2 inches on tibias and 3 inches on femurs which would get you to about 5' 9". At that height, you'll be perfectly average and in good shape.

Honestly, even just doing 3 inches on femurs will take you to 5' 7" and even that will be a world of difference from where you currently are at. Good luck!

You can be taller but you should set your expectations set straight. 20cm is not possible. The maximum amount you can gain without severe risk is 14cm(8cm femur + 6cm tibia). 12cm (7cm femur + 5cm tibia) is a safe maximum. You would go to 5’9”.

Quote from: growth_journey183 on May 02, 2025, 12:29:29 AMI’m not too concerned about that. As long as I get the height, which I had potential to grow to but was taken from me at a young age. I look disproportionate now, with a very short, thick body with big head. I get treated like a gorilla

I think I can live at 5’9 or at least close to 5’10. After all I had been through, 5’7 won’t be enough. My abusers wanted me to be as short as possible and they all tower over me now like giants. If I can at least be close to eye level to them, I’ll be cool with it. I would have been over 5’9 if not for what happened to me when I was younger.


I know, we’re al going through this and I’m glad you guys on here can relate to me 5’9 I can handle. It would be much better than where I’m at now cause I’m suffering and still taking abuse like this all the time. What about 5’9 1/2 or close to 5’10?

Thanks for understanding. It’s been hell for me for years. I stopped growing way too young, after being bullied in junior high/grade school for so long, then high school I stopped growing freshman year. The bullies from grade school/ junior high all grew a foot taller and tortured me more. My karate teachers beat the living crap out of me since age 12 and told me to stay a midget and said how cute I am for staying short. Since then, I had been relentlessly harassed at 10 different jobs by co workers and employees, managers who called me midget dwarf boy. They would toss me around, using their height to their advantage, embarrass me in front of women, stalk me outside work, calling me mini short Sasquatch. Guys trying to start fights with me and girls standing over me, rejecting me and uncomfortable with my height.

I’ve been rejected by women for years. The trauma of my height has really impact me and the guys who beat me up and abused me as a child/teen have taken so much pleasure and joy seeing me stop growing and they all towered over me, talking to eachother how they said they hope I don’t grow taller and would kill me if I grew close to 6 feet, and to this day they still tower over me.

I can’t handle the trauma I went through. I’m willing to put in the work for getting at least average-to slightly above average height. It’s the only way these nightmares will go away

Quote from: Bagga on May 05, 2025, 03:25:11 AMGo to safe maximum if you are fit and no underlining illness.
Femur: 9cm
Tibias: 7cm
Total : 16cm
You can hit 180cm which is very good height for men.
All girls will woo you and including men too.
