5'6 at night, in the US but in an area where most guys my age (Gen Z) are around 5'10-11. I'm doing two procedures one year apart, so I'll do everything I can to add 16cm. Since I'll wear "tall" shoes even after both surgeries, I'll call myself 6'1.
I'm 162ish at night barefoot without socks either and my peers' average height is 172.5cm nationwide and in my region it's 175.5ish so that's why I am contemplating on Paley's Option 5. Recommendations like doing 5+5 can not even make senses for me cuz I don't wanna become a short male for one more time after LL otherwise I will crack up so that I will even kill myself if you don't mind me spitting out anything off my chest.

I am contemplating on Paley's Option 5 and seeing from Cy4borg's life vids Paley himself recommended it as a good option if you wnana achieve 16cm so I think it's very worthwhile to do this Option. Height is driving me crazy like a btch and I cannot stop distracting myself off anything about my height. I am even memorizing every scene nearly per second where I measured my height lower by 0.1cm than the average results of my measurements cuz I was experiencing stloads of pains and miseries.
Idk man, rebreaking sounds crazy to me. I'd rather get everything I can for what I'm getting, which is two sets of nails that max out at 8cm each.

Rebreaking is the safest way to achieve 16cm and if you don't rebreak your bones 16cm will be very extremely dangerous and nearly impossible to achieve that much.
I'm young, healthy, flexible, and have time. If you absolutely want to minimize all your risk, sure, rebreaking and paying another 60k+ makes sense. I'm willing to take more risk given my circumstances. Less trauma, time, and stress for me.

I understand why you are willing to do LL despite of the risks it may have. Being a six feet tall is a lot of men's dreams. Once your height reaches to six feet, it will boost your confidence.

The problem is not exactly rebrake (altough that brings additional risks). It's a good way to the Dr. (RE)rocket more of your money but it's not widely tested and most serious surgeons are tottally against it. You should ask why so many patients having "bought" non refundable rebraking either don't come back or keep postponing it.
But more important than bones, remember the amount of lengthening you would "ask" your nerves, tendons and muscles to do, the volume of new soft tissue required and the extra weight and tension over articulations in the short or long term, as well as the probable disruption of biomechamics which would require years of physiotherapy and possible more surgeries to release fascia, elongate tendons or correct articulation alignment. All this with a recovery outcome most probably of much less than 100%.
At least I think for these options people should seek previous alternative medical opinions and wait for any articles in Pubmed (don't know one with any significance so far).
