No offense but you don’t know if my reasons are trivial at all, just because your short you deserve to feel better about yourself but I can’t do the same thing to feel better about myself? 5’9 isn’t super talk and 2 in would only put me at 5 11 with that argument no one should do cll

Reasons don't matter at certain heights, it's all cope and justifications for bad decisions at 5'10"+
You're at a trivial height to be honest. 5'9" is not a TERRIBLE height to get LL it makes some sense with how heightist the world is and you can land into ideal proportions and height. But 5'9" is a fine height to live life so to sacrifice a bunch of money and time and health is the thing that's questionable about it. Is it worth it at 5'9"? It's because we don't consider this surgery REALLY cosmetic like a nose job lol. It comes with ramifications that last forever that you can't look back on.

Lol @ your height comment. I also never said you don't deserve to feel better about yourself.
You said you want to split your bones apart, lose a chunk of your athleticism, and spend two years recovering because many other skaters have longer legs. Your height is only a factor in this because your reason for wanting to undergo such a surgery is so utterly trivial, and your height isn't even bad.
Not only is LL detrimental to the lifestyle you based your moniker on, some of the things that are the best for you in life are the ones you don't want to hear. That's just how it is.

Sitting down I have the height of someone 511 6 foot with a 30 inseam.it makes me kinda insecure esp because I skateboard. Most skateboarders are long legged or at least even
Almost everyone here thinks they have short legs and long torsos (probably because it feels more masculine in our minds).
Paley's response about that.
You could make that argument for everyone in this forum except for people who suffer from a genetic disorder that require corrective surgery height is trivial all together if you think about it doesn’t matter if your 5 foot even, and are there not people on this forum that have lengthened to past 180cm, and I know I’d be losing some ability. Read my signature I’m just gathering info but really to say my reason for lengthening is trivial is ridiculous. Unless you have a disability or dwarfism I couldn’t see a logical reason for lengthening

Hey man just wanted to let you know,that i'm 5'10 with a 32.5 inseam and my legs look pretty long and torso pretty short,i also know a guy who's 6'1 and has slightly shorter legs than me and he looks normal.It's all in your head if you think anyone notices it,but if you're obsessed with having that particular look to yourself,then do what you have to,you only live once.

A man who's 5'1" might as well be a dwarf. They're treated equally by society. Being your height has zero detriment as it's not even a single standard deviation from the norm. So therefor someone 5'1" has infinitely more reasons to lengthen than you. To say otherwise is ridiculous and hypocritical, as you're thinking about lengthening yourself at almost 5'10".

I do realize most of its in my head it’s just bothered me for a long time, and I don’t really think the way society views you makes it more ok for you to lengthen then me. That’s seems rather petty but with that being said. Your speaking to deaf ears if I decide to lengthen I will do so but I haven’t and I’m just gathering info. Appearance is just that, and lengthening is only NECESSARY for people with genetic issues or dwarfism.
Yes of corse...Lengthening your legs because you've been picked on because of your size, haven't been taken seriously by anyone your whole life, rejected non stop sxxually, have zero chance athletically and are at an extreme disadvantage job-wise ALL due to something you cannot control (Resulting in a horrible horrible existence) is totally petty 
Of corse, makes perfect sense.
Yes of corse, it's no different than someone 5'9" doing it. You hit the nail on the head. Genius.
So what about all the short people that have succeeded in life? I understand where your coming from but it’s still not a nessecary surgery and how does being short affect your atheletic ability or your job prospects? My manager is 5’4 and quite successful. And I skate with dudes who are 5’2 and are wayaaay better than me I don’t see how being short could hurt your athletic ability unless maybe you wanna play basketball. And no matter how you spin it it’s cosmetic and not nesscasry for either of us. You can tell me my reasoning is flawed and I can say yours is as well but I respect your choices cause there yours. If you don’t like me or my reasoning for ll then scroll by because I didn’t come to this forum to argue I’m sorry that being short has impacted your life and I’m sorry people mad fun of you if that happened

Sorry bud, you still really don't understand.
Check this link out:

You seem to still haven't done enough research on limb lengthening, hence our comments.
This surgery is only considered successful about 60% of the time (total; not, e.g., Rozbruch's rates), and involved in numerous complications. You won't be losing "some athletic ability". Some people here cannot run years after surgery. Another couldn't run to catch a bus when he wanted to.
It is absolutely your life and your choices, but it also sounds absolutely insane to us that anyone who highly values any kind of sporting activity would consider CLL, specially at average heights.
