I disagree with the advice about accepting your stature. I'm 5ft 5 or just over and although it's still relatively short,at my height I'm taller than nearly 60% of women. The jump from 5ft 2 to 5ft 5 would be a dramatic difference for you.

Just by simply being taller you'll feel far better about yourself. Besides,although your height is still below many here by a few inches,you still have the prospect of reaching 5ft 7. At this height you may still be considered short for a male(though it wouldn't be too noticeable ) but it's honestly where the social repercussions and discrimination cease.

For men that are noticeable below average in height it's incredibly difficult to simply live with it as we are reminded about it relentlessly, so therapy would have minimal effect on our mental state. So if you're height neurosis preoccupies your thoughts constantly ,then the surgery will be the most effective solution.

I went from 5'1.25" to 5'4.25"...with a pair of comfy sneakers that add a bit more height, I'm easily 5'6, pushing 5'7.  I take off my shoes at a pool etc, and no one notices or cares because my proportions do not change.  I'm slim and trim with good muscle tone.  The whole height problem/situation is resolved. 3 inches is dramatic.  At 5'5" you will absolutely love the difference.  The surgery has made all the difference in the world for me. I say go for it.

Yes! I absolutely agree with you and am very happy for you.  Yes, 3 inches is a huge difference regardless of the initial height!

I feel strongly at this point that I am done with CLL.   The one surgery made enough of a difference for me.

But are you emotionally and mentally happy with your new hight? Meaning you definitely ruled out any future LL surgery?

Really??
I mean i think that depends on first of all, the country you live in.
2) your goals in life
3) the type of ppl ur around
tbh i am a girl and i know if even i reach 160 cm or sth, its ok, but still considered short.
Idk but i talked to certain ppl who did it, and they make u feel like its nothing, so if you want another 6cm or 5cm after stryde would you go with full external?
Because really honestly from whatve seen height is a big issue in this world, u get treated 100% different with a 13 cm height difference its like you are someone else. Leg lengthening at 5'2  Leg lengthening at 5'2

160cm is not short for a girl that’s average in majority of places

160 cm is great for a girl. Thats my wifes height and to be honest i love her that way. Do what makes you feel better not what other people think.
