Height Increase surgery

[lookingforanedge]

This is something that I am looking into for cosmetic reasons. I am currently 5.7-5.8 inches tall but would like to be about 5.10-5.11 inches tall. I have read a lot about the procedure and from what I can tell I can expect about 5-10cm of growth but it will come with a great cost in terms of money, time and pain.

The reason why I am asking here for some advice is due to the healing process and if you guys had any ideas on certain compunds that would aid or increase the recovery process of the surgery.

Here are a few websites that give details on the surgery.

that is really disturbing to me that you would consider doing that kind of thing just because you dont like being average...

Kind of sickening actually... i would suggest a psychiatrist not a surgeon.

Believe me I know that it is not nearly the same thing but I am looking for advice like you mentioned.

Any other ideas besides GH?

Calf implants and pec implants are not uncommon in the sport however

Any natural ways to grow taller? I am 29 so at this point I think I am way past any more natural growth.

This is not something that I am 100% going to do. I am just investigating at this point.

That is scary. I am only 5 8" and ya i wish i was taller on occassion (like when i have to climb on the counter to reach top cupboard hehe) but i would never consider something so serious and potentially harmful. If you don't need to be taller in order to survive your motivation is likely fueled by your feelings of inadequacy in some areas and largely psychological not physical. Not trying to sound like an ass but its ok to be 5 8" or 7" . I think you should talk to someone about it (a good psychologist) before you make any decisions about operations. Best of luck man and please take your time with this one.

Im 6'2".... so I dont have a "little mans" point of view. That being said, I still dont think I would ever do something like that. The PAIN and RECOVERY would suck so god damn hard... the rehabilitation afterwards would blow ass... and the tremendous dent in my bank account would be enough in itself to keep me from it.

Now if you got cheese comin out the ass, and dont have anything else to spend it on... I guess go for it. In this day and age, if we are not happy with our bodies, there are options out there to alter your physical image to make you happy. And thats what its all about right? Being happy?

For me I'm happy when I dont have bones broken, im not laid up in bed for X days, and im not speding X amount of time re-strengthening my bones, and then X amount of time working to gain the muscle back that I lost from the surgery/recovery/rehab.

All in all I personally dont think its even close to being worth it. But like I said, im not short and have never had to worry or be self conscious about that.

I appreciate the advice and am def going to be talking to someone before I make this choice.

I look back and say to myself wow another year has gone by. imagine if I could say the same but from that point on be 3-4 inches taller for the rest of my life.
