leg shortening - too tall for a woman

Hello
I'm a girl who's 5'10, with shoes even 5'11. I absolutely hate my height. It's way too tall for a woman.
That's why I wanna do leg shortening.
I know that my body would be somehow disproportionate after shortening my legs. But I'd rather have short legs for a woman than being that tall for the rest of my life.
I'm looking for people who are also interested in this procedure or people who have already done it. Here in this forum I've only found one report (the one of olivetree).

5'10 is short for a woman

No, that's almost 180cm. That's freakishly tall for a woman. There are almost no women with that height.

I dont know what country you live in. But in northern europe you would feel completely normal, although the average is shorter. 

I live in Switzerland.
Do you know of anyone who has done leg shortening surgery?

We had some members here who said they'd do it, but they never returned to post if they went through it. Someone else may know of a member I don't know about.

As far as I have read, limb shortening is easier and more complication free than limb lengthening, but do consider if that's what you really want in your life. I wish I knew more about it, but I don't even know what the prices look like.

Go to a psychologist.
Your height is not bad and many men will find it attractive. It is insane to ruin your legs for no reason.
After all the max you can shorten is about 1.5cm on tibias and 2 on femurs to not completely cripple yourself by loosening your soft tissues so it won't make any major dofference.

Forget about is, so simple.

I really think being that tall as a woman is ugly af. I don't primarily think about my dating pool. It's me who thinks tall women are ugly.
I chatted with Dr. Sarin today (or one of his assistants) and he said he can shorten my femur OR tibia by 5cm. If I want 7cm, I'll have to shorten femur & tibia. (If I do it, I'd only do the femur.)
Do you think it will look weird if only my femur is 5 cm shorter?

Sarin is a doctor who doesn't have a good reputation around here. I'd recommend discussing this matter with a good orthopedic surgeon from your country, and finding a better doctor to do the procedure (preferably in Western Europe), if you absolutely can't see yourself living without it. I also agree with Body Builder: try therapy first. I think everyone needs to give therapy a try before they decide on major surgeries like this, be they for lengthening or shortening. You don't want to go through something like this if you could live without it. 

Definitely don't do surgeries like this in the hands of bad doctors in countries with poorer general medical standards.

Find a taller guy you will feel short. A lot of models are your height or taller. I read a post from a girl whose height was 168cm she wanted limb lengthening to become a model.......
