Hey so i'm 19 years old, and my starting height before surgery was 5'7.25. I finished about 2.5cm of my goal so far which is 6-6.3cm so i should be ending close to 5'9.75, maybe 5'11 with shoes and I wanted to know if I will notice a difference at all when the surgery is over? Some people i've met who have gotten the surgery already have told me that 6cm is nothing and stressed that I should consider doing more since i'm already here, but I'm not sure if I should go much further for my health and recovery. opinions?

I don't want to say too much for privacy reasons but I'm from america, currently in south asia. Surgery, accommodation w/ flights costed about $18,000. I saved up this money working 2 jobs since I was 17.

Quote from: Jumbo on July 29, 2017, 06:55:51 PMOriginally, I was thinking of saving a crazy amount of money and going for a top notch doctor. I'm 21 and just graduated from college but now I do not feel that it would be worthwhile to do this surgery unless I get it now in my youth. Do you think you made the right decision in going cheap and getting the surgery early? I know you haven't finished/recovered yet, but from your current impressions?

yeah, I don't regret my choice. I've been wanting the surgery for 2 years and like you said, I would rather get the surgery in my youth where I can enjoy and hopefully recover faster. I'm also hoping at my age I could pass off the gained height as a late growth spurt and no one will question it.
