I'm 160cm (5'3") and I thinked operation would not change me, even if I gain 5cm I would still short (165cm)

so do you think it worth it or I just should deal with my 160cm?

Kinda the same boat as you, I'll admit doing 5 CM at our heights wouldn't seem as much, but it is. Every CM counts bellow 170 CM. If anything, I'd advice doing 8 CM (on the femurs) OR 5 CM on the tibia and femurs (most expensive route).

In the end it's all up to you. My advice is yes do it even for the 5 CM, responsibly, with a good doctor (not cutting corners with the budget), and then going out and doing another 5 CM on the other segment. In the end up to you. Explore and read some of the diaries and information the forums first though. ( I just feel like you might be lacking some degree of information; could be wrong).

Just to make sure, you are male, right?
How old are you?
What's the average height for males and females where you live?
Do you have a girlfriend?
Do you have friends who accept you the way you are?
Do you feel disrespected by other people because of your height?
Why do you really want to be taller? To find a wife? To be more respected by other men? To finally stop other people from making fun of you (if they do)?

I'm 161cm and doing LL right now. At our height, every centimeter is important. Depending on how you answer the questions above to yourself, even 5cm can help you a lot to make other people perceive you differently.

Go for 7 cm and wear big shoes

-If you plan on going 1 segment, go 3 inches (7-7.5 cm) on femurs.
-If you plan on going for 2 segments, go for 4-4.5 inches (10-11.5 cm) i.e 5+5 or 5 tibiae + 6-6.5  femur.

Keep in mind your first priority should be safety and a reputable surgeon or else don't even think about it.

Hello,

Yeah I'm 22yo male.

I live in France and I'll say average height for women are 163cm an for men is 173cm and i've friends who accept me and who do not care about my size.
Nobody is really disrespecting me or had fun of me (at least nobody had the balls to told me something.)

If I want to be taller, it's because I feel like I'm a teen in school, teen have the same height as myself and it's make me sick. I'm sick of me.
and ofc it would help me to find a women, since mah short size = no Relationship.

I have the same height as you. Poor is my wingspan is only 157cm. I don't know what I should do

[YourSpaceBoyfriend]

Any bonus cm's if you are under 170cm are precious.

If you have no social problems but you just feel bad about yourself you should go for it but before that i would recommend visiting a shrink, it won't hurt to try and even if you are considering this surgery you will need to visit him anyway.

^ Doing quad lengthening will bring you up to 170cm (5'7ish). Tom Cruise is 5'7. I've met plenty of guys leading normal, happy lives at 5'7.
