Considering leg lengthening surgery procedure … should I do it or not, and also, will I even be allowed?
I’m a guy, I am 19 years old and I’m 5’4
My parents are around the same height, so I doubt I will get any taller.
Sometimes I wonder why my mom had to marry a a guy who’s shorter than the average guy, but not much I can do about that, nor would I ever dare say anything about that as I realize that would be wrong/rude/etc. But someone with English, Irish, Dutch and French heritage should be at least 6’0+
I am willing to do ANYTHING, ANYTHING to get taller. So I’m considering leg lengthening surgery, which is extremely painful and recovery can be up to a year, but I’m willing to do it. I looked it up and insurance will cover it. Problem is that supposedly some places won’t do it for people who are above 5’0, so I’m wondering if I’d even be allowed to do it?
I’m also wondering if other people would look down on me for doing it? Do you think it’s a good idea? Please be honest, thanks.

Lengthening a bone, that’s easy. How they would lengthen the muscles and nerves would scare the hell out of me. If the surgery is botched you can be looking at a wheelchair for the rest of your life, then 5’4” would be pretty tall, wouldn’t it? It’s not your height that is going to make a difference for you, it’s what you bring to the table and have to offer someone that makes you who you are and gives meaning to your life, not how tall you are, what color your hair is or your skin tone. That’s all immaterial in the big scheme of things, so why are you dwelling on it?
honey, please don’t put yourself through such painful and risky procedures to increase your heighth? it will hurt you all your life! my dad was 5’6 and he was a heck of a man, a ww2 hero, my sisters husband (deceased now) was 5’4 and we thought of him like the saint of the family. it doesn’t matter how tall you are, really, it only matters what good you do with your life. physical size means what? power? no, not in this day and age, only back in the caveman days. power comes through self control, dignity, and making good decisions and earning others respect, building a good reputation, and i hate to say it but it’s true, developing financial security gives you power in this world as well. i would suggest lifts for you, but really, it would be better if you learned to love yourself just the way god made you. your mom didn’t care how tall your dad was, did she? develop some swagger, count and maybe even write down your strengths, your positive qualities, and think of them as an energy shield around you. repeat them to yourself regularly as affirmations, learn to love yourself. if others can’t see past your size, then, they have little brains, and you don’t need them in your life to start with, so you are blessed, you have a built in filter system to see what people are about, don’t you? women are the same as guys as some like fat guys, some like skinny guys, some like glasses, some like hairy chests, some like smooth chests, some like muscles, some like everyday kinda guys. trust me, you are just the right kind of guy for at least one girl out there and life will bring yall together, just don’t let your size make you think you can’t be open and have fun and date with others. trust me, how you think of yourself influences how you appear to others, so learn to think better of yourself. blessings, .
