Quote from: Alittletooshort on April 17, 2016, 01:13:14 PMHow tall are your parent? I didn't grow more than 1-2 cm's after the age of 16, so I would not expext anything close to 2 inches. I'm not saying it's impossible but rather unlikely.
My father is 5'9 and my mom is 5'2. I was asking if I should only expect to grow two inches with the surgery.

3 inches are possible with one surgery, your proportions and your recovery will be worse though. I was refering to the height you'll get naturally. I doubt that you'll become 5'10 naturally. So 5'11 seems to be a realistic goal once you are 5'9.
Hol old are you and what makes you so sure you will keep growing?
I stopped growing at 16
I'm 18 and still growing
I'm 5(8 like you and hope to be 5'9
so at 16 yo you can be 5'9
"How old are you and what makes you so sure you will keep growing?

Last time I went to my doctor I asked him how tall I'll be, he said likely 5'10" so that's what I'm basing it on.

My proportions and recovery will be worse? What makes you say that? 3 inches wouldn't make such a big difference, (in proportions) right? Also, if I'm adding 3 inches, would I not be 6'0 after the surgery?...sorry about all the uncertainty, I don't know much about this...
I think 8 cm is the maximum for one segment for a good recoovery and good proportions
you are young to think about ll
me my complex started around my 17 years, but I thought about the operation that half of my 17 years and now I'm 18 since 5 months
my advice is to not think about it before you turn 18, be happy and fulfilled and eat as much as possible while playing sports
I ride my bike, and I think it helps psychologically and even physically be little
you can work outside the classroom also to save money
but know that 5'8 is not small, it is slightly below the average

Good, so that'd put me at 6'0, which is my goal. Hey, is there some place, maybe a FAQ section that you can direct me to? I have a bunch of questions about proportions, recovery, maximum height I can gain, but I don't want to bother everyone.

Yes well this is something I really want to do as long as I can make a good recovery. I have been teased for my height for most of my life, and I want to live with confidence. I already have a lot of money saved for this specific procedure, and the only way I won't do it is if I can't make a good recovery.
