Quote from: shortkid on October 31, 2022, 10:27:48 PMHey guys, I originally had a consultation with Dr. Paley 8 years ago when I was 20 years old. I didn’t do the surgery then as I was too scared. Now I am 28 and I can’t help but feel like I’ve wasted the past 8 years of my life and basically my whole 20’s by not doing it then. Have basically avoided clubs and been a workaholic as I’ve always felt the need to compensate for my height of 5’4. Worried I missed out on what was supposed to be the best years of my life.
No hard statistics on average age but I would say it's mid 20s - mid 30s as people by then have the monetary means to get the surgery ( the youngest person I know was 23 and oldest in his 60s) I feel you saying " I am too old to get this surgery and the benefit of height - my youth has passed me " is just a passive way of yourself trying to justify that this surgery isn't for you ( at 20, when age wasn't a factor, you probably justified that the surgery is too dangerous and that you didn't want to risk your youth ). For lot of people height is something that will effect you no matter the age ( look at celebrities and how they wear 3 inch shoes ).
I feel in your case really try to figure out if this surgery is right for you. It's a surgery that will take a toll not only your body but your mind as well ( remember once you go under knife you won't be able to go back ).
