Hey guys, my first thread here. Many of us are not 100% satisfied with the height, then i made a research about methods to increase it and discovered this surgery, it's very expensive and painful but the results are phenomenal, what do you think?

Unless you are going to play in the NBA, don't do it.

Back in the day when I had an office job I knew a guy who did this. He was about 5'4 and went to about 5'9. Couple key points about it though.

1. Cost- $250k
2. France is really the only place you can get this done. I believe China doesn't even do it because of how archiac it is
3. Complications- Everyday you have to turn the screws to keep spreading the fracture apart. There can be many complications due to this. The guy i know was supposed to be back in 3 months and instead was their for 6 months. Had a few infections in his legs.
4. If you were an athlete you can probably forget about doing anything competitive again. This guy was a surfer and had to give it up. Due to the pain. Maybe in years down the line it will go away, but it has been 3 or 4 years and I know he still hasn't been able to.

That being said I am not short and this isn't an issue for me, but if I was i'm not sure I could give up on some sports just for a few inches.

That's just crazy.

[WanderingSoul]

Jesus Christ this gives me the chills. That's gotta hurt so fuckin bad.

[mikeymike]

biginjapans details makes it sound horrific. I'm 6ft so I guess I don't know how it is to be short, not that I'm that tall but can't imagine it'd suck that bad that I'd consider this...hard to say without being that person tho I realize.

Man, some people are stupid. Health is the most important thing you got and still some people fuck with it because they feel small!? WTF!

[IVth_Element]

I think I would try this first.

I remember watching this episode with my dad years ago.

[kbell]

I will stick with being 5' 4". No desire to have bones broken.

[pitt]

Fuck spending 250k on that..with that money i will spend on getting my logistics right in the places i travel, improve my wardrobe, rent a nice car in locations where i must drive and keep on approaching like crazy..im good being 5ft7..its kinda depressive the amount of height talk on here.

[Moma]

Us in the Western world are so spoilt. If you are healthy and your dick works, who gives a fcuk about the height?

Again, it's only in North America that people howl and hiss about height. If you are not going to play starting centre for the New York Knicks, what does it matter?

Most of those actors are short as fcuk, Al Pacino, Robert DeNiro..they get pussy.

So what the fcuk?

When you short, you can holla at more lizards in the club cos no one sees you approach.
Win-Win.

The two best players I know are under 5'10".

It is really interesting seeing all of the different issues that guys are insecure about. We all have our own insecuritie, I just didn't expect such variety.

Height helps cover up lack of game in some situations. But if you have tight game you will do fine. We all see it, short guys with bombshells of all sizes.

Interestingly enough I think my height has been a negative in some aspects. If you noticed, the CEO's and power brokers of this world are all short. Due to their " short " comings they strive harder for power and success. So be nice to the short geeks in high school because they are the ones running the world. I think being able to get by with my height and looks has maybe crippled me in business. I do alright (especially the little effort I put in) but I don't have that ultimate motivation to be the best, smartest, richest most powerful man on the planet. Which I think is essential for business success and of course women.

I honestly believe that anyone who would undergo the intense pay and cost associated with height-enlargement surgery is mentally ill.

[UnW]

Too much effort + pain.

Thats very true.

You are better off probably stimulating your pituitary gland than do surgery.

[Neo]

Pointless.

It's obvious that the guy in the picture also slimmed down and worked out before the after picture. He could have stayed the same height and done that with equal results.

[Handsome Creepy Eel]

Make no mistake, I'd love to be taller. Being short (although not a dwarf or shorter than most girls) has been a really painful experience and I've had to invest a lot of willpower into compensating for it. But this? This is... monstrous. Even plastic surgery - both boobs and face - that some women go through, is way less invasive than that.

No. Just no.

[Jackhammer]

Won't your torso be completely out of proportion? This just seems psychotic and vain

[germanico]

How come there is no measuring bar in the "after" picture?

[JofSuperman]

I don't see how $250k can justify height surgery. I'm 5'6" and I know taller guys have an advantage, but $250k!!! Really?!?

What for? To get girls. You would get a better return on your investment if you spent $250k on building a badass lifestyle. Or at worst case, $250k could buy high-end escorts for a long ass time. Even if the height advantage helps get 10 girls, still doesn't justify the $250k.

The guy I knew who did it had amazingly short legs. I am sure it was bad enough being 5'4 but his legs were like a 1/3 of his height. After the surgery he did look more balanced.

[Screwston]

I didnt even think I was short until this forum and I'm 5'8.
