Is it worth it from 5'3.5?

Quote from: palm_trees on April 05, 2023, 07:13:51 AMHey guys, i've seen some folks around here at 5'7 and taller considering getting the surgery done and this blows my mind as I couldn't believe height neurosis could even exist at that height...

As a very short male around 5'3.5 its a bittersweet feeling knowing that even If I go maximum safe amounts for femur and tibia, I can only really get to about 5'7.

My question is for those around my height and around 5'4 who got the surgery done. Was it worth it in the end for you? You would have gone from very short to what some would consider I suppose average, at 5'7? Or I guess to even some others with neurosis they would consider it still short but not extremely short.

I don't need to be tall, I just want to blend in more with the crowd and not have my first impressions be my short height.

How do you guys feel about a guy as short as me at 5'3.5 to try and get to 5'7. Is the money, time, energy, and pain worth it to go undergo these surgeries for my height considering that I still won't be "tall" at the end of this long arduous journey? What are all your thoughts? Thank you, god bless.

I guess I just want to hear more about the guys who are around my height and how their life has changed for the better since getting surgery 

I went to 5'5 from a starting height of 5'3 and still feel short. Of course, not as short as before, but still short.
It's only worth it if you do 2 surgeries, femur and tibia.

I heard you on cyborg4life round table. Atleast you saw that the guys who became 5'8+ got cured from their neurosis

If you do 2 LL then go for 6 cm on tibias and 7 on femurs which will put you in a very respectable 1.74-75 cm and is still safe.
It is completely stupid imo to do both segments and still not be even 1.72 from your initial height.  Otherwise just do 7,5cm on femur to get 1.70.from one surgery, otherwise you should clearly go for more because it is still safe and it is the only to take the most advantage of LL.
Both segments for only 10cm at your initial height clearly don't worth the money, the time and the risks  that come with doing such a surgery no matter how much you lengthem.

I was your height.
Got about 7 cm taller in femurs. 
Will definitely need another 5cm on tibias to cure my height neurosis.

If you ever do this, plan for atleast 12 cm in 2 surgeries.

Its not available in India for the time being. I have no clue when its going come back. If I ever do tibias, it'll be LON.

There is something called 'cost-benefit ratio'. If you did both segments but still below average(5'7), the worth would be limited but if you could make it(which you indeed could) to 174-175, then the plan would be for all what it would be worth.

I am 162cm at night barefoot and even if I have yet to do LL I can tell you it is worth it. At this height height is already a very serious issue.

If you view life as a fashion show where your prime directive is to strut the catwalk to impress designers et al…perhaps. If not than I can’t say it’s something you should do. Life isn’t a fashion show.

Quote from: RB on April 05, 2023, 10:43:16 AMHey man, it is absolutely worth it. The biggest difference is that you finally feel normal. As you know at anything below 5’5, you start to really stick out as tiny and it’s the first thing people notice. When you are 5’7, you honestly just feel normal around others and that’s the greatest thing this surgery has given me even if am still ‘short’ compared to others.
