IMPORTANT: I did not regret NOT doing Cosmetic Limb Lengthening

As opposed to...enduring a lot of mental PAIN for years, possibly for your whole life. Yes, it's true, for many of us - me included - just going out on the street and seeing what other men look like, what other men have been given for free, even though they did nothing to deserve it, makes us feel like inferior, crappy examples of human beings, every day, for years, for decades, the thought of "Hey, I'm human trash" popping into our minds. Seems like a worthy trade-off for some, and I can understand it .

Seems like you're soapboxing here. All of your points are things that everyone on this forum who gives a   about their body is concerned with. But you're showing half truths; you're taking the extreme negatives and only showcasing this as the reality. The reality is that you haven't had the surgery, nor know what the complications are like. You're only regurgitating negative testimonies from other people.

If you don't want to do it, that's fine, but I don't understand why you feel the need to dissuade others. The surgery is very dangerous and comes with blatant risks like almost all cosmetic surgeries do. But it will not cripple you or leave you in "pain for years" if you approach it in a smart manner.

Re; your point (11) about kids. I disagree. I have five kids. The two boys are 190 & 187.5cms. Two of the girls are slightly short for girls, one is of average height. I am the same height as my wife = 169.5cms. Google, "regression to the mean meaning" - your progeny are NOT doomed to recursive shortening...

I backed out of the surgery three times before I finally had the courage to do it. I was terrified before I actually did it. But I don't regret it one bit. Even with the possibility of maybe needing a bone graft on my left leg (which I might be able to avoid - my left leg doesn't even really have pain anymore) - I don't regret this surgery for one hot minute. Going for a bit over 5'5" to a solid 5'8" has been huge. I went out to a crowded bar Saturday night, and yeah, I still felt short sometimes when I was moving through the dance floor. But women are a lot more receptive. Maybe it's my confidence. Two girls grabbed my ass (which is back to what it was before LL - so you CAN get it back, I did), a bachelorette party asked me to strip for them (I declined) and I got three numbers.

LL takes a long time to not only recover, but to actually get to ENJOY your results. I'm just over 18 months out, and only recently starting to feel like my old self again (and I'm still not entirely out of the woods just yet). Now that I've cured my duckass (for many months now), got my flexibility and leg muscles back...I definitely feel a lot more attractive.

I'd still love another inch or two, but at this point, I might not need it. Have to see how I feel next year after the rods come out. Tibias just take way too long, unfortunately. And I will not be doing anymore on my femurs (so thankful I stopped at 7cm now).

I did it and I'm loving life! ...... I did 6cms and it was the best thing I ever did.
I had to jump In and tell the truth,  just do it and don't go above 6.5 cms,  which doesn't sound like much but when you get taller,  you ll love it,  it's like a new toy only the toy is you.

Oh and let me tell you,  dating becomes easy if your alright looking plus the extra height.
Can't say it enough,  if you don't do it you don't know what your missing! 
Life's way better
