Is it worth it from 5'3.5?
« on: April 05, 2023, 07:13:51 AM »

Hey guys, i've seen some folks around here at 5'7 and taller considering getting the surgery done and this blows my mind as I couldn't believe height neurosis could even exist at that height...

As a very short male around 5'3.5 its a bittersweet feeling knowing that even If I go maximum safe amounts for femur and tibia, I can only really get to about 5'7.

My question is for those around my height and around 5'4 who got the surgery done. Was it worth it in the end for you? You would have gone from very short to what some would consider I suppose average, at 5'7? Or I guess to even some others with neurosis they would consider it still short but not extremely short.

I don't need to be tall, I just want to blend in more with the crowd and not have my first impressions be my short height.

How do you guys feel about a guy as short as me at 5'3.5 to try and get to 5'7. Is the money, time, energy, and pain worth it to go undergo these surgeries for my height considering that I still won't be "tall" at the end of this long arduous journey? What are all your thoughts? Thank you, god bless.

I guess I just want to hear more about the guys who are around my height and how their life has changed for the better since getting surgery  ;)

Yes, complications and recovery aside... What you just said, being able to blend and feel normal around people, carries a tremendous amount of worth.

Consider that you can be 5.7barefoot but then if you grab some Nike sneakers, that puts you easy at above 5.8.

For me it has been life changing .I wish I had done it sooner

Think about it this way: at 5'7 you still won't be tall but you know you will have done something about your situation.  You know you can look back and say your quality of life is better compared to your previous self because you will have minimized the chances of being discriminated against due to your height.  It's absolutely completely worth it - but that's just my personal opinion.

Hey man, it is absolutely worth it. The biggest difference is that you finally feel normal. As you know at anything below 5’5, you start to really stick out as tiny and it’s the first thing people notice. When you are 5’7, you honestly just feel normal around others and that’s the greatest thing this surgery has given me even if am still ‘short’ compared to others.

If you're 161cm then you can do 5+7cm and become 5'8, if you're still unhappy then add 2 inches of small comfortables insoles and you'll be 5'10, that's a very good height.

Or you can reach the absolute safe limits 6+8cm and become 175cm 5'9. 5'10 with shoes on, 5'11 with an insole.

i think it's totally worth it and i'm 5'3. i'm asian so being about 5'6-5'7 would be awesome. i'm the shortest in my family and my younger siblings are taller than me. out of my friend group, i think being 5'7 would make me feel better about myself

with max safe amounts you'd be 5'8.5 which is enough to not stick out. I would consider this worth it as that is literally an insane improvement from 5'3.5. personally im trying to go for 180cm from 165 with the same amount you'd be able to be 5'9.5 which Is essentially exactly average. Some dude did that with Dr. M from your same height. not sure how safe that would be though. Probably a decent risk of losing function if you dont listen to ur Dr.

at 5'5" and below people just won't take you seriously unless you have immense wealth and status, even then your stature will hold you back. if you decided to go with the recommended limit (8 + 5cm) ending at 5'8.5" you'd be fully out of the "danger zone"

You never been at 5'7 so you would never know if you will actually feel short still at that height but it would be a massive improvement, but for me it's worth it as long as you  don't have very bad insecurities about your height comparing yourself to others, i've seen people go from 5'3-5'6 said they still feel short, but get the second surgery and say there good. I'm personally getting at 5'8 to be at 6'0,  I don't feel short but just below average, think it's worth it as I just need to do 1 surgery to achieve it.

I went to 5'5 from a starting height of 5'3 and still feel short. Of course, not as short as before, but still short.
It's only worth it if you do 2 surgeries, femur and tibia.

If you do 2 LL then go for 6 cm on tibias and 7 on femurs which will put you in a very respectable 1.74-75 cm and is still safe.
It is completely stupid imo to do both segments and still not be even 1.72 from your initial height.  Otherwise just do 7,5cm on femur to get 1.70.from one surgery, otherwise you should clearly go for more because it is still safe and it is the only to take the most advantage of LL.
Both segments for only 10cm at your initial height clearly don't worth the money, the time and the risks  that come with doing such a surgery no matter how much you lengthem.

I was your height.
Got about 7 cm taller in femurs. 
Will definitely need another 5cm on tibias to cure my height neurosis.

If you ever do this, plan for atleast 12 cm in 2 surgeries.

There is something called 'cost-benefit ratio'. If you did both segments but still below average(5'7), the worth would be limited but if you could make it(which you indeed could) to 174-175, then the plan would be for all what it would be worth.

I am 162cm at night barefoot and even if I have yet to do LL I can tell you it is worth it. At this height height is already a very serious issue.

If you view life as a fashion show where your prime directive is to strut the catwalk to impress designers et al…perhaps. If not than I can’t say it’s something you should do. Life isn’t a fashion show.

Indeed. It is despiteful to me to value a person's life by his/her sexual appeal. The incels migrating from incel forum are recently preaching about how your life is over if you don't have good height as if you were only living for women lol.

IMO if your shortness is not a threat to the opportunity of your desired major/job, LL should not be positioned at the apex of the what-to-do-in-your-life list. It is really fatuous to break your legs and devote extremely lots of money and time just for the attractions from girls. Life has other meanings.

Being able to date the women you desire is 100x more important than muh job and muh career. The only sad losers are those who get LL to get more 'respect' from normies.

finding a nice girl(s) and creating a family is most important. if you didn't procreate you "failed" in the game of life because every ancestor before you was able to.

Mind elaborating why dating women successfully is more important than job and career?
Well I am not asxxual or misogyny or something like that but whether being able to date a woman or not does not really mean much and should not mean much to others, because you can have different thing to pursue.
If you are saying that leading a family is 100x more important then it is indeed arguable, because the topic is rendered into be the one about the philosophical and anthropological meanings of life.(You can also win your ancestors over other things, except dating)
The anthropological meaning of life is indeed to breed but the philosophical meaning is dependent of your own perception of life. I mean life has and can have multiple definitions. The goal of life should not only be to lead a family, which is not so sacrosanct that it will be a shameful felony to be inable to do so.

someone would have a better life having sxx with beautiful girls and letting other men raise the genetic copies of themself, than working for decades getting rich to impress your friends and please society. not saying these are mutually exclusive but which one is really better? purely cost:benefit, theres no point in getting etymological. societies have learned to keep us disciplined while giving enough safety and accouterments to where we are happy to work and not realise we're being milked for labor. you're another small cog in the system, nobody really cares.

That's the only bad thing about starting at a shorter height than below average your wingspan is literally small unless your a freak with way above average wingspan so Imagine being 5'3 wingspan being 5'7 or 5'8, so if you lengthen too high you won't look aesthetic, but if you don't care it doesn't matter

Oh look at me I swallowed a dictionary.

No I don't really care much to elaborate why having sex with women is more important than chasing after jew tokens, since its obvious to all men with a working set of balls.

while i generally agree with you on most points overall in your posts, i beg to differ on this one, in 2023 you need looks as well as money to bang women, and by women im referring to tall white blonde blue eyed girls who are popular on insta as they are the only ones that matter anyway

but yeah, muh career is a retarded cope however one should always try to make money any way possible(in order to catch that bang by tricking the abovementioned instathots that you have resources they might be able to leech from)

Oh yeah I agree of course one needs money (if nothing else, because looksmaxing isn't free).

What I'm mainly driving at is the idea on here that getting LL 'to advance career/gain 'respect' from other wagecattle in the wagie job' is someone a 'better' reason than getting LL to have sex with more women, when the reality is getting LL to improve ones dating and sex life is by far a better reason than getting it so a bunch of normies will listen to you in some corporate team meeting.
