Leg lengthening is a matter of breaking your bones and using traction to lengthen the bone. It does not happen quickly and will likely be disallowed for someone who is considered to still be in their growing years. It is slow because you can only separate the bones by a small gap, wait for them to heal and break the leg again, repeating the process until the desired length is achieved.
This also sets up differences in the bodies natural proportion that can lead to other physical therapy issues. Unequal muscle tensions and stretching ligaments. Any advantage in height would be countered in the time you have to stay away from sports to heal
I don’t think this is a real option for you yet.

WHAT!? no- be happy with who you are. that seems like an extreme way to try to feel better about yourself.. & very painful! go to a therapist & talk about your body image issues- (none of us are perfect)
good luck

you shouldent change to satisfy society.
if you need surgery to make yourself feel good, then your self respect must be low.
your always going to have SOMETHING about yourself that you dislike. you cant always run under the knife for it. as an individual your made differently then everyone else, go ahead, change the way you look for societys idea of beautiful, your just unoriginal to me then.
