I mean what is the main reason? Sports? Dating? Job? feeling inferior? Want to be average? Etc...
For me, the main reason is that I want to be tall. Netherlands average male height is 185 cm(highest in the world). So I think being 190 cm will be considered tall in every country in the world(I know, it's kind of stupid reason, but at least I'm being honest :p )
Please be honest
we can't do this for sport and except if you are very short it is not either for girls -if you do it for women you are idiots-
we all have an inferiority complex
but me i think this is for aesthetic
176 is a good height everywhere, a lot of Dutch are under 185 (i have doubt about this average - how can there be such a difference with neighboring countries such as Belgium ?) and in some case 190 is not "tall" (for example a basketball player) but aesthetically if think 185-190 cm is the best height (a model height) so i understand you
I have a question, how did you talk about with your family? because you are not small (average), so what they think ?

Basically this. Short average sounds so much better than short. Also to stop driving myself nuts by comparing myself to literally every person I see.

Well, I kind of agree with you on sports, but i still think some athletes would do the surgery with a good doctor if they knew that the recovery will be %90-95.
As for the Netherlands average height, its 185 cm in most of the webpages/sources I found on the internet, here is an example:
http://www.averageheight.co/average-male-height-by-country
And believe me when I say 176cm is not good in Netherlands, I have been to Netherlands once, Wherever I went(Shopping mall, airport, etc...) I was one of the shortest if not the shortest guy in there.
As for your question, I am 26 years old, so I am not dependent on my parents anymore, I can do whatever I want. But even if I were to ask for their opinion on the surgery, I am sure %100 that all of family would be against it even if I was a dwarf, this is just how they think(accept your self etc...)

I don't know why you say *obvious*. I mean I want to have CLL to become tall, but you want to do the surgery so that you would not be considered short anymore. If you were average would you still do CLL?
But still, that meme is 10/10

It´s quit obvious that you don´t know much about this surgery, otherwise you would´t have a goal of 15cm´s. It will ruin your proportions, will cost you a lot of money and will destroy your ability to perform sports on a decent level. I dont´t want you to offend you but forget 15cm´s, it´s just unrealistic.
My goal is to become slightly above average, so I´ll do 4cm´s to become 183. I don´t think that it will improve my job chances or my sucess with girls (besides the tall girls), I want to do it for myself mainly.

Its true that I don`t know about the surgery as much as you do, but 15cm is reasonable imo. Didn`t apotheosis do more than 15cm? Then why cant I?
my femurs and tibia are longer than his, I can lengthen 15 cm and still be within the safe limits (%15-20 of the bone length right?)
As for proportions, I don`t really give a damn cuz Height>>proportions for me.
Cost a lot of money is subjective, I am not filthy rich but I can afford surgeries with prices like Dr.mangal parihar or Dr.ghassan salameh prices.
But I want to ask you a question, why would you do an invasive expensive surgery just to add 4cm? my older brother is 3cm taller than me and people can hardly tell that he is taller than me, unless we stand face to face. Even my parents didn't know who is taller till we stood against each other.
