For me it's a little bit of both, while I dislike the very idea of being below the average I wouldn't want to do the surgery if it meant that my body would look worse. I suffer little discrimination but there would be some comfort in knowing that I am objectively not short and then there is the fact that a lot of men I meet are only slightly taller, like 3-8CM and I would fit in better if I reached 183.
On the other hand I am already thinly built, will I sacrifice my money, time and health only to end up looking like a beanpole?
I'm having trouble deciding if I should go through with it or not, I am underweight so perhaps that is the issue here -at least when it comes to proportions.

Quote from: Penguinn on October 22, 2015, 06:49:47 PMI'm 5'2 or 5'2.5.
The average height for guys my age is about 5'7, and for girls, 5'3/5'4.
Going to 5'5 is a huge gain for me.
I don't know what you mean by "cosmetic or something else". Also why is underweight a big problem? Can't you work out, eat well etc? Or does it not work that way? I would consult a dietician and personal trainer.
LL effectively makes you skinnier and taller, seeing as I already am thin it might become a bit much. But yes I am trying to gain weight.
