Why the hell would you want to do this surgery?People over 5 9"? you are at the average height of majority of western population. I don't understand, if i was 5 9' i would never considered this surgery the cost outweigh the benefits look at Sweden and Poly, the   that happen to them can happen to you. I am only doing it cause my life sucks now as the fact if you're 5 5' you experience real disadvantages in life,

I'm 5'6" and I understand your point of view.  3 inches would do wonders for me but there are so many tall people above 6' that I can understand them wanting to do it.  But going to India doesn't seem worth it for anyone right now.

I don't know who to trust and whether information given by doctors are valid. I can't afford the top tier doctors so my options are either Russia or Serbia.

Russia and Serbia sound like good options and I would be headed there this year if I had the time.  But I'm working on a masters degree and I work right now.  I should be able to go in 3 years so I'll have plenty of time to save for Guichet, Betz or another top surgeon.

I'm 5'7" but my wingspan and posture make people think I'm 5'9". I actually met with my father a few days ago and jokingly told him I'm the same height as Bruce Lee and Tom Cruise and he could not believe it (I don't wear lifts or inserts either).

I would be so happy tho to actually be 5'9". People say 5'9" is short but it can look really good on the right build. Also have to take into consideration a lot of the people who say they are "5'9" are actually 1-2 inches shorter. Actors listed as 5'10" and maybe a few 5'11" are actually real 5'9", and friends always BS their height. A solid 5'9" actually looks legit and decent. And man, even a solid 5'8" can look good if you are in good shape. You could also easily wear 1" inserts to get 5'9" after that. You could hit that with 1 CLL starting from 5'5".

Russia and Serbia are good options. I am really thinking of external tibs at Serbia someday.

And what is exactly wrong with a guy who is 5'9" and wants to do LL or become taller? Each person has their own reasons for wanting to be taller, maybe they are suffering from their height (whether it is the average height or not).
Either way you should be comprehending these people since you both feel the same way and both want to achieve the same goal.

Has it ever occurred to that some people want to be tall, you stupid retard? The only people who make statements like this are insecure men who envy the height of taller members. Also, 5' 9" is short in several European countries, so they should not have to accept being a couple of inches below the average height of their country just because some insecure pussy is having an angsty moan about taller leg-lengtheners the Internet.

Stop discriminating, get over it and stop being a bítch.

When I was 5'5, I didn't understand people considering to do LL when they were already around 5'9. I thought it was unnecessary. I didn't envy them, it's just that 5'9 seemed good enough.

Now, at almost 5'8, I do understand them. I understand them perfectly People over 5 9"

There's good, and then there's better.

It's like living in a nice home, having a nice car.. And thinking about buying a yacht. It's capitalism at its finest. And why not? It seems to me that we only live once.. Do what makes you happy.
