One major factor was this episode on Grey's Anatomy which totally misrepresented leg lengthening surgery when it was first aired in 2009.

I agree you. I don't like Grey's Anatomy because of that.
Quote from: Confidence on February 05, 2023, 03:57:40 AMIt's because people are scared of the idea of broken bones. Also, other people (mostly other guys if you're a guy because of competition) want you to do well but not better than them. Naturally tall guys hate the idea that their height isn't as valuable anymore because more people can get up to their level now.
I was just reading comments on a LL Before and After TikTok and there was this guy who was 195cm bragging about how the guy in the LL video was still shorter than him even after LL. Nobody would say sh*t like that if they didn't feel like their ego was taking a hit
Deep down, people who truly care about your happiness wouldn't give a sh*t if you did the surgery or not.
A lot of men who do this surgery already have a wife who loves them and because of that the wife sees the surgery as a net positive. I mean, what woman wouldn't want a taller version of their husband.
100% agree.

Wow, they made the guy a quarter inch shorter. Absolutely brutal lmao. The show added insult to injury.
here are the reasons for the stigma
1. it is a ridiculous sounding procedure, its basically as retarded of a procedure as you can get done on face value
2. people are mad we are evening the playing field and getting rid of our social stigmas
3. being short is so strongly looked down upon that anything associated with it will automatically also be looked down upon
it causes people to have to confront that the fact that for someone short, becoming taller is objectively better, and that human beings do, in fact, judge everyone based on appearance. Nowadays people like to act like we are all angels who dont let appearance effect our opinions.

Based comment. For the most part, being taller as a guy is almost objectively more attractive up to a ridiculous amount.(maybe more than 6'5) is getting into giant zone.

yeah but its not as big of a deal after 5'7/5'8 or so atleast in America.. and really diminishing returns after 5'10... I think at that point you can compete pretty well
Quote from: Medium Drink Of Water on February 04, 2023, 04:16:35 PMIt's an extreme surgery that costs a lot of money and takes a lot of time. I think it's more shocking than anything else to most good people who are accepting of other cosmetic surgeries.
I agree.
