Age : 19 (Transitioning from 1st to 2nd Year University)
Planning to get surgery : No idea, preferably mid 20s.
Growth ceased fully after age of 13-14. Dropped significant amount of percentiles by the time final year of high school rolled around.

Yep, that’s me, too. I jumped up from the 85th percentile (which I was in from ages 0–11) to the 97th percentile, then I fell down to the 15-20th percentile. My goal is thus, of course, to reach the 85th percentile of my growth charts again minimum (so 5.5 inches/14 cm total lengthening).

Without any judgement, just an honest question, how would you feel if, for example assuming you live in the USA, if you were (or if you are only able to reach safely)176 cm tall?

176cm is not short in USA not to mention if we are talking about barefoot height.

I would feel better, but I still wouldn't feel totally adequate.

Neither will I even if after Paley's Option 3 I can only get up to 178cm barefoot but we can just call it a day or you wanna go further waiting for Stimulate Transcranial Electronic Magnetic Therapy coming up in the next decades?

If I can get taller, then sure, that's great, but let's try to be satisfied with what we can get.

If that therapy can come out before I hit old age then I will for sure give it a shot but if I can't even walk normally due to the degeneration as I age then this kind of therapy cannot make sense then.

I suspect things like that could happen in time; what height would you consider to be your ideal/goal?

That things won't happen in our lifetimes?
