The problem with LL surgery is that it is most beneficial to do it in your 20s since most likely you will be single and will have many more years of your life remaining(hopefully). Most people aren't mature or do not have money to do LL during this period. Later on, you will have money but the time would have passed and you would already be married. Also, your psychological state would have been kind of set at this stage. LL will most likely be feasible now but the benefits of it will be reduced. This is the thing that I really hate and it makes me depressed. I wish the prices/timeline was not so steep. On top of that, the stigma in telling your spouse, hiding the procedure from public, the flak that you get from undergoing the procedure is insane..
I'm not young anymore.
But the thing in my case is simple: my height neurosis is so intruding, so painful, that I just want, I NEED to cure it. And so far I have definitely proof that couselling or any other imaginable alternative doesn't solve the issue.
At the same time, considering all introspection, some "simulations" in real life situations, my lack of ambition of becoming "real" or "very" tall, and also the testimony of many people who did LL, there is hope for me regardless of age.
I JUST want to cure a disease that causes me psychological, somatic (strange ill sensation in legs), physical depression states, permanent suffering, and hampers drastically inner peace, and a normal social and love life.
