159cm
I'm at a really awkward height where I'm so short that even with the surgery I'll still only be 5'5. I can't imagine going through all that pain and spending all that money just to be 5'5.

I wouldn't get treated the slightest bit differently by women or guys. I want to be tall enough where I won't be defined solely as the short man.

In my eyes that limit is 5'7, 170cm
So I need at least 11cm. I know that will mean surgery on both upper and lower legs but that's twice the price, does anyone have any suggestions?
I would love some affordable options.

I'll be doing cross lengthening with Dr Sarin.

It's $47 500

I'm doing 13cm and then will be wearing 1 or 2 inch lifts so 15cm all together

15cm will make you almost 5'9 which is a good average height

I've looked into him before, so how does this work?
Will you stay in India till both legs are fully lengthened or return home and get the second operation after?

I'll be staying there. It should take 9 months to do both with a 3 month gap between. 3 months lengthening > 3 month break > 3 months lengthening.

You can go home in your 3 month break and come back to do the rest.

But I will be spending 10-11 months there because I will spend the entire 9 months there and then I will stay 1-2 months extra to recover in the guesthouse. I'm just choosing to stay there and recover. Everyone else flies back home the day after they're finished.

Not sure what your schedule is but for me, i'm a student so the year will basically be a gap year for me, i'll go back home 5 inches taller ready to start my year of university.

Hi growtow
I think your plan looks reasonable and achievable. However, I am a little concerned whether you can go back to school right after 1 yr. Even with a single operation, it will be not easy. Plus, many of class mates or friends will be able to find out you become taller. How can you approach this circumstances?
Wish you the best of luck in your journey for height!!

I will be doing my surgery in June this year. I will spend 11 months in India which will include the 2 extra months for recovery. This will take me to May 2020. University year starts in late September/early October in the UK. Therefore, once I am back I will have another 5 whole months to recover. This will be a total of 7 months recovery before I go back to Uni.

Also, University is only 3 days a week in the UK. 2 hour lectures maximum so 6 hours a week. I don't stay at Uni, my family home is only 15 minutes away. Even if i'm not 100% able to walk after 7 months, i'll only need to be able to walk to class 3 times a week.

With people realizing my height, i'm a student, a lot of other students are having growth spurts. A close friend of mine is Chinese who went from 5'5 to 5'10 in the summer holidays (4 months). I will be away from my friends for a whole year and will be gaining 5 inches too so I don't think it will be any problem.

The only problem I will face is explaining why i'm taller yet my hands are still small etc..as we always fist bump or shake hands when we meet up. I already have smaller hands than everyone else but surprisingly no one has ever said anything about it other than my math teacher, weird. I have an excuse ready for that though. Luckily my shoe size is abnormally large so will be perfect for 5'11 height. The only things that will look out of place are hands (which some people will notice) and arms (which I don't see anyone noticing).

Hi growtow
Yeah, you think very thoughtfully. That is good. You are pretty much ready for this. Don't worry about hands, arms, and feet. They will look fine. I have relatively small hands, feet, and short arms. No one notices anything wrong. It is actually only me who perceives my arms are short.

Glad you feel the same way. This website would lead everyone to believe that everyone you walk past is measuring your proportions and will call you out as if they know you've had surgery to increase your height. It's a sad obsession.

I know when I go back after surgery, not one single person would think i've had any sort of surgery. 99.99% of people don't even know about this procedure.

Yes, that's why we should leave it at that. Don't tell other people outside the community about it.
