I'm 5'8.5 and I just got it 3 weeks ago. At our height, even though it's not terrible as if we were 5'5 or 5'6, you cant deny we still hear short king sometimes. It's more so society now days being stupid, even if we are near average. I decided to get it and I will be 6'0 and with shoes probably near 6'1. I no longer have to hear anything that has to do with short and have second doubts about it because I know I will not be. And this is a life long, life changing fact I will deal with. Am I insecure? sure, but will I be insecure when I am 6'0, absolutely not, so why not go for it if I have the means to do so.
For reference, I chose the Precise 2.2 and aiming for 8cm on my femur. Easily the most bang for your buck. It's a harsh surgery and the hardest recovery you will go through for the next 6-8 months. But you're talking about a life time of benefits. This is not just for girls, I'm sure at 5'9 you have no trouble getting most females. Sure being 6'0 your pool of females expands by probably 20-30%, but that's not enough to justify the surgery. A lot of patients I've seen at the clinic are older men who are already married and have families. They just want to be taller because of the more respect they will get from just...people. Terrible society we live in.. it's like being racist for height. Nothing we can control, but yet still engrained in our society. But I have the means, and time, and I took action to change it.
