All LL is about wanting to be taller than other men. That's just as true for a man using LL to go from the 10th percentile in height to the 50th percentile as it is for a man going from the 80th percentile in height to the 95th percentile. The only difference is that the taller man can get to a point where he is taller than most men. There is no more or less ego involved.
There is nothing wrong with using LL to be taller than 180cm or taller than 185cm or taller than 190cm. If it were possible everyone doing LL would want to end up 190cm and tower over other men. There is nothing less ethical about performing LL on a taller man/man who isn't short.
You aren't filling a void that's subject to discrimination and causes depression and anxiety as well as a disadvantage in both the social and working market. That's the difference.
You have no justification other than "mogging" other men. If someone is above average height and they need to do an extremely invasive procedure with a 1+ year recovery term and spend thousands upon thousands of dollars, there is more likely to be other psychological factors going on, in which the height is most likely not going to fill that void. Whereas with a completely well adjusted, 5'5" successful guy with his chips in a row, that height will indefinitely fill that void.
You can't possibly have the same neurosis as you don't receive any of the negatives at your present height. It also takes into question whether you're able to handle the pain, since things were suicide-tier before hand.
Dr. Kulesh said recently to Android, that a woman who wanted cosmetic LL woke up from surgery of her femurs being broke, and wanted to stop the lengthening and just wanted her legs to just recover fully. Most guys who are 5'10"-5'11" who post on here about getting LL, RARELY ever get it when you compare the same amount of men sub-5'6" who SAY they're getting LL.
The 5'10-5'11 guys usually just post for a bit, speculate and come to their senses or don't find it's worth it enough. They realize their voids wouldn't be filled with LL. If we were all 5'10"-5'11", we wouldn't even know about this place.
