Hi guys, I'm new to this forum - I've just ready a bunch of post regarding Limb lengthening and I would like your advice.

I'm 5'2 - 157.5cm tall and I'm thinking of doing Limb lengthening. I'm a pretty laidback guy, confident except for the lingering thought of how short I am. It's funny - My dad is 179cm tall, Same as my younger brother who is about 180cm tall. My mother is about 165cm tall. My younger sister is also taller than me. I honestly don't know why I didn't grow. I consulted with a Doctor last April 2017 and was measured to be 154cm tall yet they had told me my growth plates had fused, so I recorded a 3cm growth in height over a year and a half.

Thanks for your response. I had asthma when I was younger and an injury at the growth plate of one of my legs. The doctor said It shouldn't affect my growth. I also think that lengthening to 173cm would be way too extreme. I think being 162-163cm tall would be perfect. It'd definitely have a good impact on my life. I was considering lengthening the femurs 5-6cm. I do have the financial means to do the surgery, yet I'm not sold due to the future complications and no reliable long term diaries to make such a judgement.
By the way, I'm quite a happy person - I have great overall relationships with friends and with women. What's most hurtful is to see my younger siblings shoot up taller than me. Especially my father and my younger brother.

I don't really know. I'm just unhappy with my height. I feel like there is a need to explain myself when I go out in public and especially in social settings - makes me feel inferior
