Im a 158 cm (5'2) tall guy from argentina, 24 years old, and about a month ago i suggested to my mom to do this procedure because i dont think i could really live with this height all my life, it's an outlier height, mainly considering i'm a white guy living in a white and young populated area (college zone).
I suggested this to my parents about a moth ago, and they both were open to it (my dad surprisingly was too) i think because i got no lucky with girls since high school, and he is worried about than. One time at 19 years old i suggested this to them, when i started to realize that the rest of my life was going to be hard mode at this height, but my dad then said to me i needed a therapist instead, with a rotund no.This contrast made me realize i should have explained my situatiation better at 19, because they never realized how short am because both sides of my family are composed by short people (except for my dad who is about 178 cm tall, or 5'10) plus im always wearing shoes that make me at least 5 cm taller.
So, thats all, i feel like i just wasted 5 years of my young years not doing this procedure at 20 just for not explaining well to my parents about how much i needed this, and only now they are starting to comprehend how freakily short im, not "short like Messi" (who is actually 169 cm tall) like my dad said to me a time ago, but nearer to Danny Devito kind of short.
I feel a little sad about all the years wasted, plus reaching about 164 tall is not that huge of a change, but using some hide insoles shoes i can reach almost the same height than someone being 170 cm tall barefoot, and that it is a big change considering i'm honestly good looking and my dad have a business with a huge potential he build from zero which i'm going to inherit, so very likely a wealthy future too.
I just want to stop being an outlier to be just a short man, thats the point.

Im going to have an appointment with a pair of doctors that make this procedure here in Argentina, they do Precise 2, and one of them is a nationally recognised chiropodist of something like that, so i guess is a good option.
My dad already said to me i have to "earn it", so he, like the mildly autistic man he is (im a little bit in the spectrum too i think), gave me a couple of goals i have to reach if i want to get the money  to this from him, like having at least three girlfriends before, like it was not that hard at 158 cm tall, but im pretty sure im going to convince him after telling him i prefer to stop living before still being this short, because is a damn nightmare

I want ot do about 5 to 6 cm in femurs and and maybe a couple years after about 4 cm in tibias. I could reach in total about 10 cm or 4 inches more hight. Totally good enough for me

Boy, you didn’t waste years, you are only 24. If I did it at 55 years old and I didn't consider is too late, you have NO REASON to cry !
You should have done a university degree in this “wasting” time. But did you ?... If not, you REALLY wasted your time !
Every person has his time for LL.  But if you don’t have money, it doesn’t matter anything else…
If they don’t want to give you money, the only way is to take a loan, a big one…And be sure you can pay it back !
Also your argentinian orthopedist really knows how to do Precice and having experience ?... If not, go after a good one !
Anyways, you need to get 12 cm, to 1.70 m finally, not only 10 cm. Otherwise doesn’t make sense.
170 + 3 cm of shoes heels, it’s a reasonable height of a 1.73m apparent height, so you will be in a different league !
But if you’ll be under 1.70, you are in a sad league, almost same depressed like you are now…

Your father do not appear to understand what's to be short, given his height is to be expected, is very common tall, tall-ish people are oblivious

Personally, I would not use the threat of suicide as a strategy, because it could be counterproductive by been perceive as unstable and unfit for surgery

Yes been taller make people more attractive and women are a consideration BUT  to me and would say the majority or maybe even all people interested in CLL, attracting women are only part of the motivation, taller people are treated different (better) in all settings of life, schools, jobs, etc,  talk to your father try to make him understand,  good luck bro

Argentinian males aren’t so tall to begin with. He obviously wishes to do it safely and he will still look very proportionate that way. He can still wear height insoles whenever preffered and is not going to be in the “uncommon-short” zone anymore. The question is what his proportions are now, then we’ll have a better view of how far he can push it. Also, as is common knowledge, smaller limbs are able to gain less compared to bigger ones, safely at least.

Im slighly short legged, but just by a little bit. I have measured my propotions a few years ago and that was my conclusion atm. I wish to do about 5 cm in femurs and 4 in tibias, to reach the max i can doing the safest i can too, it sounds totally reasonable to me even most guys here are willing to risk their mobility in the long run exponecially just by getting just 4 or 5 cm more with quadrilateral.

You can be white and latino, is like to ask a person if he is american why is he black? So you need to be white in order to be american?. there are whites is all latin america and also there was mass imigration of italian, german, spanish imigration to that area.. Im not argetinan  anyways but ask of being white or not is lame in this topic and this page anyway
