Thanks for the question. It's more of a case of personal perception, so averages don't really matter much. I'd imagine it's a similar reason why some people who are already average height or above also opt for the surgery, to improve their general outlook whatever their starting height 
how much does it cost in seoul? thank u
Update: I have my surgery booked for 2 months time and I'll fly into Seoul 3 days before for pre op tests and X-rays etc.
I have to say I'm impressed so far with the communication from Dr Lee's team, they have answered every question I have quickly and clearly.
I'm still deciding wether to rent a hotel or a serviced apartment for my stay but will decide when I get there.
I'll be travelling solo, so if I need help then I'll just hire a live in maid or use Tinder.
I'm looking at a total cost of around 100-110k US if I choose some decent accommodation, so it's not the cheapest option, but at my age I've learned that most of the time in life you get what you pay for, and I'm confident that although Dr Lee doesn't have the same profile as Dr Paley or Rozbruch I think his skill level and attention and commitment to patient recovery will be right up there.
He has performed or been involved with 3000 lengthening / bone correction surgeries using external fixators and has performed around 130 surgeries using Precise nails.
Severance is equipt with the latest X-Ray and surgical equipment and there is no mucking around in Korean operating theatres, the competition in universities to become a surgeon is huge so only the very best make it through the system.
MOOZE 🎱
I'm from Australia as well! Queensland here. I will be looking forward to your journey as I'm looking to get 5.08cm done on my thighs as well. What made you overlook a Dr such as Guitchet who is known for weight bearing nails?
All in all, good luck mate.

Howdy mate, thanks for the question, it looks like there's a few Australians on here.
Main reason I've chosen Dr Lee is his location. I'm in Sydney, but the flight from Brizzy would be even closer to Seoul.
Travelling all the way to Europe wouldn't work for me, and the time zone in Asia works better for me to work remotely with clients in Australia.
I think you will be okay in South Korea. With the level of cosmetic volumes they do, he should have enough experience under his belt. I checked out his blogs, case studies, and the results look satisfactory. His diaries on here for the most part have been good except the old versions of Precice malfunctioned in two pts we have heard so far.
I asked the same question in another diary about accommodation but I honestly believe with a major surgery like this, it is better to have everything arranged prior than to face unexpected. Living and renting by oneself with language barriers, sometimes someone may not be available to help you in worst case happens and you need to be transported to hospital fast. Do not tell me you will flag a cab yourself. My 2 cents.

Yep, i'll make sure i have some options so i don't end up stuck. Most of the decent hotels have English speaking staff to help, but i'm still considering staying in a private room in the hospital for the duration of my stay.
It's an expensive option but daily physio is included for no charge and there will be less moving around / taxis etc.
