Hi

I’m 5’9 on the dot.

I want to do quadrilateral lengthening but not overlapping, I mean maybe the 3-4 week one but most likely a year wait. Regardless, I want to end up at 6-6’1 in height. Is the difference worth it? If I could potentially be 6’2 is that something I should go for? Thanks

I dont think quadrilateral is worth it but a single LL might be worth it. unless your doing like 4+4 lengthening which I guess you could do but idk if thats better

It is not worth it.

I am 5 ft 6 and I am think it is worth it for me but the time commitment for this procedure is a bummer..

not worth it, at 5'9 you're not short, you're taller than 90% of the world's woman population, hit the gym, invest that money instead, etc.

Its not worth it.

Youre talking about probably 3 years of your life and scars everywhere.

Only you can answer this question, it depends on your feelings.

In my case my biggest concern (5'8 1/2 ) is that I don't like my stature and how my body looks comparing to other people, it's not about finding a partner or if other people think that I am short or not. I want to be taller than 6' because I like it so much and I cannot change my mind (tried it, but I cannot), so in my case this surgery could make my life better.

Depends on your goal! If it's dating your're not going to see any difference. Maybe som of the girls with the worst personality who is really shallow and cares alot of about not so important things as height is going to like you more, but why would you attract those types anyways? At 5'9 your're not going to be discriminated and going to be judged negatively either.

And why does what other people think matter anyways?

So you should only do this if you really want to become taller and suffer from height dysphoria and thinking about becoming taller all day every day, to boost your psychological state.
