Ha very childish statement that completely disregards the whole point of this.
It is not neccessarily that I fear the surgery, but that it obviously is not the way of the future. Again do you really think there will be absolute no medical advances in height increase by 2050? And by 2100 we will still be doing this same procedure?
If someone could please email me or tell me why you all are so afraid of simply asking how can we get a more innovative approach I will try and understand your point of view.
However it seems that even though this is a forum for height increase and there are people on this forum who have spent up to 100 grand or more just for a few inches, you are very VERY closed off too asking if there is a better approach. Which again I do not know why, there is a better approach to everything and I think we should start asking. If you do not want to have an open minded discussion again please no need to even comment.
Funny how many of you claim this is a "right leaning" site...yet you all seem to be "leftist" the way you are unwilling too have open minded discussions without dismissing everything.
The Short community needs a movement to find the cure for shortness.

The thing is people do not want to wait a long time for a new method of getting taller. reopening growth plates and stuff like that will not be available anytime soon and this is the only option we have so far of getting taller. Most People who decide to go through with this know what they're getting themselves into and have weighed the risks and benefits.
Yes and agreed that is what I am saying. That this is the best we have right now. Eventually something will be available one day but what I am saying is that in order for us to get there faster we need too start asking questions and be more vocal for a better procedure.
I think we can both agree if something wants to be done nothing will get done just "waiting".
We can still try and find a better way while still co existing with LL.
I do not know why this is such a touchy subject, I am not trying too take anything away from anyone I am simply saying lets start a dialouge and I do not think there is anything wrong with that. Nothing will get done sitting on our asses and waiting.

You know that we need money for creating a solution, I dont think anybody here Will give his own money in order to create a Magic pill because de dont know if It exists, having ll the money Will go there
The method you are looking for will be available in 20 , 30 years . Trust me you still have the possibility to gain few cm but it's a lot of work and non permanent at your age . I 100 % understand what you mean but i really doubt that any one will do anything . People don't want to be rediculized . Just think about what's the best for you and move on .
cheers
onemorefoot, Guichethope thank you for actually responding with an open mind.
Like I said many times yes indeed with money, time, and persistance science can truly do anything. Our world is advancing greatly, why must we be left behind or not allowed too ask more questions on what we can do or how we can do things in a different way?
There is a way to do things better all I am saying is lets ask lets be open minded. With an open mind you can do so many things much more than you think, if our society thought like most close minded people ive seen reply than we would be nowhere. If you could email me just to chat more Id greatly appreciate it. The first thing we can do is start a dialouge and that is all I am asking for now.
The Guy at naturalheightgrowth is trying the same, wants to find a solution ,different from surgery, if you really want to do something you should put un contact with Michael, he has done a Big research.Although he is 5 11", he is not needed like some folks here.
Show these universal studies, because many studies in fact show that women in Africa for example have much less strong opinions about men's height. Sure, most still like a taller man in most studies, (than themselves) but the ratio is more like 52% than 96% who have that preference.
It is still a strong preference and probably indeed much to do with human biology and sxxual dimorphism, but I doubt many African tribal peoples have a strong conception of what an "ideal height" is.
Also, it is a political issue, every social issue is innately political, because political intelligence, something humans and some other mammals and birds have, is defined solely as the ability to have third party relationships (although I doubt birds talk about heightism lol). Beauty standards are definitely a social issue.
I am responding that way because this is an LL forum. Not heightism forum, not "howtogrowtaller.com" forum, not a psycological forum to help depressed people. This is an LL forum as in limb lengthening as in lengthening the limbs.
This forum should help those who seek info about what LL is, which doctors do it, and have patient experiences. I looked a bit at other cosmetic surgeries forums.. Non are full of all this semi-philosofical bullcrap about heightism or to search for a better way to get boobs bigger or nose smaller. All are simply forums of people sharing experiences and info regarding the surgery itself.
last year we saw a single troll ravage this forum and a bunch of incels,moralists, and other wakos pratically flooding this forum with bullcrap which has nothing to do with LL.
Post in r/short not here
Edit:
Also, there isn't a reason for scientists to discover new ways to make you grow taller since being at your height of 5'5 or mine of 5'7.5 is not a disease. We are not handicapped. Just like there isn't a miracle way to make every women have double DDs there isn't going to be a magical pill to make every man 6' for the simple reason there is no reason for it.
Being short is not a handicap. Being less sexually desirable is not a handicap (If it was, we wouldn't be giving birth to the ton of ugly kids walking the streets today with all the pre natal screening tests that exist).
No body, including me is going to take this "heightism" thing seriously because it's not real. Sticking "ism" in the end of a word doesnt make it become some kind of a reality. In this sense there would also be "Uglism", "smellism", smalldckism", "hairylegism" etc...
Get real
fk r/short, that place is toxic. But I get your point.
