Please follow the link I posted and thoughtfully try to understand what it is. If you can't, then I agree, it doesn't make sense.
I disagree with the people saying that at 5'10 or the surgery is not necessary, in fact I would argue the surgery has a lot more benefits for someone who is this height. It can take you from average to tall and studies have shown that this is statistically an advantage. If you are 5'4 and do this surgery to become 5'9 you are still under average, sure you will suffer less discrimination and it will be less of an obvious issue but you will still be discriminated against just in a less noticeable way. Going from short to short will achieve less than going from short to average than going from average to tall. When you are tall you will no longer have any height based discrimination! I also think that while you may not agree that someone needs the surgery calling them ''crazy'' or ''weak'' for considering it is very insulting. I'm sure if you could just add 2 inches to your height over night with no surgery or long term issues almost everyone under average would do it.
I am in a similar situation to the op; I am around 6 foot but I live in the Netherlands which is the tallest country in the world with an average height of around 6 foot-6 foot 1. I am obviously luckier than a lot of people on this forum in that i'm not short but I still feel I could gain some advantages from a 2-3 inch increase. As an example just look at dating sites many have profiles requesting a minimum height of 185cm.
We are all in the same boat. All wanting to improve our lives. So lets be nice to each other and work together to move forward!
I would argue that if you're such a p***y as to search for height surgeries online at 5'10 and up, let alone get leg lengthening eventually at that starting height, then you won't get any advantage afterwards because the naturally taller guys will have a lot more confidence and better personality than you, and you'll still lose out to them. Let's face it, if you're average in your area and getting this surgery because you "want advantages", you're misguided because everyone else will detect your insecurities and fake confidence afterward.
You are rude and ignorant and your arguments are full of logical fallacies. Everyone wants to be the best they can be. Go and read studies on height discrimination. I think close to 100% of people average or under would want to be taller if they could risk free. The question is how much risk would you be willing to take to achieve it. You have no idea what you are talking about and your tone is completely uncalled for.

actually no lol we arent in the same boat.You are 184 and still trying to increase your f*cking height dude.I really dont care where you live.It doesnt matter.You are 184,thats it.I dont think you will have a better life with 190 or 195 because i believe you have mental issues.You are above average in every f*cking country in this world yet you still want more.I swear some people are crazy AF..
Average in Netherlands is 185cm. So 6 foot here is like 5'9 in usa even though I think the young white American average height is more like 5'11 (181cm) at least in big cities.

it just depends on each person.My cousin had a growth spurt around 10 cms between 16-17..
Remember that lengthening isn't like growing. You body will look less than perfect after 5cm.
185 cm is a very good in Europe, except in the Netherlands where it's just above average, so it's weird , you have a very good but you're just average in your country

And I have to ask what's so hard about being average in one of the tallest countries in the world? No one will ever proclaim you as short, one will ever hurt/discriminate you because of it. Sure you might say in your country people want 185+CM in height for dating but if you really take that comment to heart and decide you need to put yourself through months of pain and immobility, then you don't just have a mental illness (we all do), but a misguided view on life.
Also I disagree, going from short to average or even slightly below average has the most benefits then going from average to tall. It gives people a huge boost in confidence, increases the dating pool, and limits height discrimination drastically (I'd also like to say that height discrimination at that range is marginal and a product of something more malevolent).
Truth be told I don't care who gets this surgery done, but considering the possible complications, huge cost, long and arduous lengthening AND consolidation phase, like Uppland said, anyone 183CM and up faces the most diminishing retuns even in a country where that is average (let alone the rest of the world which is shorter).
