Hi

First of all, given the importance of each centimeter, my height is just under 5'10.5 (just under 179) in the morning and just over 5'9.5 (around 177) at night

I live in a country with mixed nationalities and at least the locals near my age (twenties) are around 5'9-5'9.5. Younger people and the non-locals are likely to be taller. I'd say, the average for people in the early twenties is around 5'9.5-5'10

I wear elevated shoes and lifts to give me about just over 1.5"/4 centimeters of total shoe size - I am just under 177 at night and measure about 180.5 in the shoes

Sorry to be so anal but in my opinion being in the average zone each centimeter counts!

When I go out in the club at night and with all the tourists likely inflating and be using height boost I feel around average

I'd say that I have just slightly above average face and average body (or frame)

Recently, I did hair transplant from Norwood 3 to Norwood 1 and LASIK. My current goal is to see how these will help me (if) and then consider further steps

Face is important but in my opinion around average and above is enough with a better height. Face surgeries seem more complicated. Being tall is a strong sexual dimorphism and I see no way around it. Even when I boost my height by about 4 centimeters it feels much better literally - taller friends seem closer to my height and shorter friends shorter. And 4 centimeters accounts for other people having 2 centimeter shoes on average - so 2 centimeters we talking about here and it's a big different

I'm sick of elevated shoes and lifts and can't see wearing anything bigger. It feels just enough now

I was thinking to wait a couple of years to get my things in plan and then hit Paley for 5-6 centimeters in femurs. As I understand I need about 100K for the operation, 50K as backup and another 50K to live? So 200K in total?

What would you do in my position? I try to be outgoing and not following wear social norms and I see everyday how attractive women choose attractive and tall men. IMHO, 5'11 is the minimum not to worry about height in average country and 6'1 is perfect. With 5-6 centimeters I'd then be about 182-183 afternoon-night height, around 6'

How likely do you think we'll see some further improvements in the near or so future which could impact the cost and the reliability, as well as the recovery period? I am estimating about 200K with Paley for everything and it seems a bit expensive, not complaining though. What about other doctors maybe in Europe?

Finally, what do you think age wise? I mean, I'm approaching the thirties and not sure if it's too late. I mean, I don't blame my height for everything given that the life is not so bad but I just feel how it is to get treated better as a tall man when I wear lifts
