Without going into too much detail, how did you describe your reasons for wanting this surgery with the psychologist? Did you say you suffer because of how you look compared to other men, because your relatives are taller, because of bullying during childhood, for example? What reasons did you give her?

I don't really want to go into details of what i told the psychologist, but i can give an example of a scenario that probably gets approved vs one that doesn't:
5'9 guy with a great job and does very well on the dating scene, but still wants the additional height because of a fundamental dissatisfaction with his stature thats nagged at him for years
Vs
5'3 guy with an ok job and doesn't do that well with the ladies, wants the height to "fix" those issues.
The 5'9 guy likely gets the surgery approved, the 5'3 guy does not, even though from a height distribution standpoint, the 5'3 guy would seem like the one who should be first in line.
Explain further, because I can see the nuance of it that distinction, but I'm curious about what exactly the psychologist is looking for
I can also see the nuance but I think that most people who want this surgery have an issue with how women view them , especially if they are 5'5 or less. If the psychologist rejects someone because they are honest enough to admit this, then in my opinion she is not very good at her job. It is very easy for people who don't suffer the discrimination every day to judge and think that you should judge be a stronger person but real life is not like that.
Of course if you think that a few extra inches is going to transform your life and take away all of the many issues that come with just being alive then you are not right for this surgery, but having the guts to admit that women, not all women but a lot, do not want to date guys who are 5'5 or under should not be held against you.

I agree with you that it doesnt have any sense... A 5'9 who just feels bad about his height for no apparent reason is a good candidate but a 5'3 guy, who is well aware that many women will reject him solely based on his height, and is therefor willing to change his height is not a good candidate?
Btw OP, not attacking you but the psycologist
I think that a psycologist should rather search for any signs of BDD rather than anything else. Of course if a 5'9 or 5'7 (like me) would come and say "I have almost no success with women and it's solely because of my height so I want to add inches" he should also me dismissed. a 5'3 guy though? A very reasonable reason.. Even a 5'5

I think the line they are trying to draw is, "we are not performing this surgery for people who think it's going to get them laid"
That's not to say that if you go in there saying, "i'm short and women reject me", they'll say no to you... it just cant be the ultimate justification for enduring this. What if you end up going from 5'3 to 5'6, and still cant attract women... are you going to do additional lengthening? Thats what they are trying to avoid
She's phenomenal by the way, as is he.
That is good to hear, I agree there is a lot more to a person than their height, Unfortunately, the reality is that if women won't even talk to you in a club or at a party because of your height then you don't get the chance to dazzle with your sparkling wit etc. if the extra inches gets you the chance to show your personality then the rest is up to you. If you are a horrible person that won't change with the surgery.

You can message me and I will do it for you if you can't figure it out. Everyone needs to see this. Dr. Rozbruch is easily one of the top LL surgeons in the world, but has always been way too expensive, even more expensive than Paley. This changes everything!
If you are excited about the, you might be even REALLY excited about this:
Fitbone nail is an internal nail at least as good as Precise and Dr. Baumgart from Germany was the first doctor to use it but nowadays he charges almost as much as Dr. Rozbruch.
But since several years, Dr. Monegal from Barcelona Spain is using Fitbone and offering the whole procedure at much ower price!. Fitbone manufacturer Wittenstein, say Dr. Monegal is one of their best surgeons!
Dr. Monegal offers limb lengthening, including everything except post op x-rays, physiotherapy and removal for less than 40,000 USD.
I am in Barcelona right now and about to finish lengthening.
Physiotherapy cost less than 40 USD per hour.
2 X-rays cost less than 70 USD.
Removal of implant is around 2500 USD.
Rehab residency costs 1700 USD for a double room, but 24 hour caretaker, pool and gym and metro station literaly 3 yards aways with lines to the mountains or to the beach.
How much are you getting paid to advertise like that?
