I'm a 5'2" manlet and I wanna get leg lengthening surgery

I'm a 5'2" manlet and I wanna get leg lengthening surgery.
Should I do it? I'm a 5/10 but I think I can become an 7.5/10 at most if I do this surgery.

I'm not a pussy I'm willing to do it no matter how painful.
I wanna get laid man, and I can't do that when I'm 5 fucking 2.

The pain of rejection will be worse when they find out the truth

How can they? It's not like I'm getting tell anyone.

One day you'll want a long term relationship, and she'll find out.

How? Are there gonna be like "aftermarks" that will be left on my skin after I do the surgery? I don't see how she'll know.
Currently I live alone and I have very few friends, which mostly consists of my co-workers.

I know plenty of guys around 5'2" who are married or active sex life

Getting taller won't make you a better person

Damamging and altering your body just for women is one of the most beta things you can possibly do

looks like you will just have to get rich.

Your walking will be fucled for years and people will question what's wrong with you.

>the reason I'm not getting laid is because I'm 5'2"
lmao, you think magically you're gonna laid once you're taller?

lmao

>there are manlets this insecure that they will do this to their bodies

so fucking pathetic

If these are just the reasons why I shouldn't do this surgery, then I guess I'll do it.

My doctor + an online article says I'm gonna fully recover just after 3-4 months, not years.

Bump and can you post pics of yourself user? Unless you're super hot and height is the only ththing holding you back I wouldn't recommend.

You would have a scar; although you could do things to fade it a little bit. I don't think anyone would be able to tell what happened though, and you could always say something like "I got in a bad accident when I was younger"

Also as an x-ray tech I would love to see it after it heals.

I briefly looked into a femur lengthening procedure. My left femur is almost two inches shorter than my right due to a scooter crash right smack in the middle of a growth spurt when I was twelve. Obviously, this causes a lot of back issues. Everything from my pelvis up to my shoulder blades is misaligned. Chronic pain issues.

The only procedure I could find that didn't look like a medieval torture method was this one: youtube.com/watch?v=KkJcA5R0Sd4

It's still pretty invasive, and I imagine it's expensive as well. I'm honestly not sure if I'm going to try and pursue this in the future, or just buy custom left shoes and bear with it. I'll probably buckle down and do something when I'm out of college next year.

post pics so we can evaluate whether or not this surgery would be beneficial for you, user.

I'm keeping this surgery a complete secret to literally everyone why would I post my face on Veeky Forums.
I do however look like this guy from pic related.
Imagine that face, but 5'2"

How bad is the scar? And yeah that's just what I would say, that I got in an accident or something.

Money isn't a problem for me. I'm not rich but I have enough saved up for this surgery.
I've been extremely self-conscious about my height ever since high school.

I'm willing to take the pain as well. Better a few hours of pain than 50+ years of being extremely short, shorter than literally everyone around me including women.

enjoy dishing out thousands of dollars just to begone a 5'5 manlet at most and damaging your knees. This on ly satisfies people who are 5'8+. women will still think you are short just just get used to your body and try to improve on it rather than making reckless mistakes.

>Most patients desire 3 inches (7.5 cm) of stature gain and some more than that. The PRECICE 2 can lengthen 8 cm. Patients who desire more length should consider a second lengthening of the other bone. We recommend femurs first and tibias second. The total height gain with two lengthenings is as high as 14.5 cm (8 cm in the femurs and 6.5 cm in the tibias). Greater length is not as well tolerated in the tibia and Dr. Paley highly recommends not to exceed 6.5 cm in the tibias, as it can lead to serious complications. Of course the cost of two lengthenings is twice that of one lengthening. Although the device can lengthen as high as 8 cm, not every patient can safely achieve that much length. We will only allow lengthening to the tolerance of the patient's bone and soft tissues. We will never sacrifice safety for greater length.

Listen. If you're doing this to have sex, stop. Save your money and spend it on prostitutes. I'm serious. Way less expensive, higher quality women for your money.

Unless you think this will actually make a woman love you... It won't.

See, even with this surgery I'm still short. So what does that make me without this surgery? A fucking dwarf?
I'd rather be somewhat short than literally a fucking midget.
Thanks Veeky Forums. I've finally decided to this surgery.

>The cost of surgery with physical therapy using the PRECICE 2 is $90,000 for bilateral femoral lengthening and $100,000 for bilateral tibial lengthening. For individuals who undergo femoral lengthening followed by tibial lengthening, we offer a package price of $180,000 (PRECICE 2) if the two lengthenings are performed six or more months apart. If the two lengthenings are staggered two to three weeks apart such that their physical therapy overlaps, there is further cost savings with a total price of $175,000. In some select individuals we will consider simultaneous femur and tibia lengthening at one surgery for a total cost of $165,000. Please note that there is a higher risk for fat embolism which can lead to death if both femur and tibia devices are inserted at one time.

>the absolute city of manlets

Probably the most rwtarded decision I've seen someone make this month. Damaging your body just with the thought of possobly being more attractive. Truly shameful

It's almost like OP wants to become an opioid addict.

My body's already damaged. I really don't care.
Even if this surgery kills me, I'd rather have that happen than stay short for the rest of my life.
My doctor says I can reach 5'8" as well. That's better than fucking 5'2.

Holy fuck m8 are you 16 or just really insecure. Youre gonna pay 100's of thousands of dollars to get your chicken legs broken until theyre longer. Fuck man just man up and enjoy life. Its not worth it for 3 inches of height. It wont change a thing

If I was 16 my parents would never allow me to do this surgery.
I have a well-paying good job which is why I have enough money for this surgery. I've also been saving for almost 3 years now.

ITS NOT WORTH IT. Talk to other short people and get their input and i guarantee they will be like fuck that. Stop being so insecure

this is too extreme, get mental help before anything else and learn to like yourself. Yea ur a short guy, get jacked and become "the jacked guy", hell get a face tattoo and become a crazy looking cholo.

Doesn't it take months to recoup from this surgery? Fuck that noise.

Why is it not worth it?
I'm fine with the pain and the expense. Are there other things I should be worried about?

You'll look taller when you're hanging off a noose

youtu.be/CTKrJA2QssE watch this video and research the disadvantages of this. The cons heavily outweigh the pros

It's probably cheaper to just kill yourself

My doctor said it would take 3-4 months. But that's fine.
Also, while it is painful, I've heard from other people who also had this surgery say it was worth it.

Use the money you have saved up to travel the world and experience life to get a perspective on things before you fuck it up for yourself. It is more than painful, it is unbearable

Bro people like Danny Devito and Peter Dinklage have/had wives and children. All you need is success and the girls will come dude. Deforming your body and going broke just for a girl is stupid.

Doesn't really change my mind. The only thing I'm worried about is the infection, but #7 says I could just get another surgery to cure it, and yes I have the money, so it's fine.
I'm definitely willing to risk it.

Being 5'2" for the rest of my life is unbearable.

>How bad is the scar?
are you stupid ?

Being 5'8" is annoying and somewhat hard so I can't imagine how hard it is being your height. If you want to do it, you're willing to take the risks, and you have the money, I say fucking do it.

If you do eventually reach ~5'7" it would probably make a world of difference to you. I'm around that height and have pretty much always had a girlfriend. You might not be able to walk into a nightclub and fuck four girls in the bathroom at the same time, but you'll be alright

I don't see how it could deform my body. Literally there are zero reports of any deformities caused by this surgery. And I'm definitely not going broke. As I said I have the money.

You could justbuy/put a down payment on a nice house or car. That would make you MUCH MORE ATTRACTIVE than increasing tour fucking height by 2 inches. fucking stupid ass nigga.

It will take a toll on your body as you get older tpp

Thanks for the support user. And yeah I've already pretty much decided. I've been thinking about this for a very long time. I just wanna be taller than the average girl in my area.

He could potentially gain 5 inches of height, going from dwarf-mode to slightly-short mode

I seriously hope this is bait. You think you don't get women because you're a manlet? There's plenty manlets out there in the world getting pussy all the time. I got a close friend, LITERALLY 5'1 and fucks bitches on the regular. He's a funny ass dude, makes everyone laugh and have a good time. You see, it's all in the personality. Something you clearly lack. Check yourself before you wreck yourself you fucking retard. Like that other user said, you can use all that money on something else, something ACTUALLY useful.

Just admit you are doing this for men. You are concerned about how men view you. You can pay beautiful women to have sex with you. That's not your issue.

But what benefit do you gain for being slightly taller? You'll still be short and require another surgery and been even more of a liability. It also won't change how you as a person are. If you're personality and confidence were shit before more than likely it'll be shit still

As someone who is 5'8 no, not really friendo

not even he did it

What happens when I pull up with one of these bad boys?

>tfw went from manlet to magNET

I'll be honest dude, yes. Don't go crazy though or you'll look weird. 5'6 or 7 at most will be enough to be short but not comically so

Being his height as a man necessitates a certain level of mental toughness just to get up in the morning. He would probably make much more of being 5'6-5'8" than you would if you gained five inches in height

just curious op how tall is your dad

I'm not saying that's the main reason. The reason I can't get any girl is because I'm not confident, and the reason I'm not confident is because I'm fucking short. And I already have everything else I want. I have a good house and a somewhat high-end car, so i don't care if I spend all of my money for this surgery.
Also I really just don't wanna be shorter than almost everyone around me. Women aren't the only reason I'm getting this surgery, I wanna feel confident around men too.

There's literally a dude with no arms and legs who has a wife and family.
You're completely fucked in the head. You're presumably in your 20s, so you do this surgery, become 5-6 inches taller after months and months of debilitating lain (trust me, I've had serious knee surgery, and a broken femur, you are in no way prepared for the constant frustration of recovery and lifelong after effects of completely restructuring your legs) by the time you're 30 you'll have fucked a few sluts more than you would have at 5'2", then you'll be in your 30s, the dating pool will be tiny, and your completely warped self image and clearly troubled history with women will make you that sad 35 year old limping around the bar trying to pickup uncomfortable coeds, with a 200k dent in your savings.
Enjoy the rest of your life, surgery won't fix that manlet mind.

You will be too leggy. Do you want a really high up ass op?

>literally there are zero reports of any deformities

In one study, out of 46 patients, 10 had "major complications"

But hey I found that in 5 seconds of googling, sounds like you've done your research

When will they learn?

Why does your height matter that much to you? No one gives a fuck about your height. I'm 5'6 with an 8 inch penis and I'm living good. The only size you should actually worry about is your penis.

Because all we ever hear and see is hate on short men. It is awful having half of all women and 90% of men taller than you. It is abundantly obvious that my taller friends are treated better.

My dad is 5'9" and my mom is 5'3" (Yes my mom is taller than me). I'm also 26. So yeah I'm in the extreme minority in terms of height. Even my doctor was surprised when I told him my parents' height.

Again I could probably find a fucking gf/wife easily if I actually try even with my current height, but that's just not enough for me. I wanna be taller than I am right now. Getting a gf isn't my main reason for doing this. I just don't wanna be SHORT.

Can you imagine waking up in the morning, walking outside and literally standing at tit-level of the women on the street?

Fuck... I could become normal height... Almost 6'

Thanks for this window into mental illness.
Pls go to therapy.

If it were a choice between that or having long screws hammered into my bones leading to a lifetime of pain and a fucked up body, I'd choose the former.

You've been on Veeky Forums too long. Time to disconnect idiot.

AYYY senpai. 5'8", 8" dick here too. Now we know where all the growth went right

this. No chick is impressed by a guy that is 5'5, but a nice car or house can land some vapid whores

>tries to dissuade him from undergoing the surgery with an insult by calling him "little"

Master persuader here, brainlet

Sounds pretty good. And I bet gains are crazy as a turbo manlet.

When people take memes too seriously.

I gave up on that, this guy isn't dissuaded by facts, figures, horror stories, or simple logic. And I've never seen a more applicable situation for the phrase
>sad strange little man, you have my pity
This dude is legit mentally ill. A bunch of anons on a Tibetan mastiff breeding forum aren't going to dissuade him from breaking his legs into shards to be slightly higher off the ground.

FIVE FOOT FUCKING TWO

My girlfriend is considered short at 5'2"

This "meme" has really fucked up my self-esteem, except it's not a meme, it's a fact proven by study after study.

Literally know I dude who can't be taller than 5'5" who has a 6/10 gf with stacked tits who's taller than him. Guys also shredded. Stop being a fucking pussy.

Notice how the left picture she's madly in love with him and holding his hand. In the right picture they are no longer in love because she realizes manlets never learn

why the fuck. just make a normal diagram. it's making me mad just trying to understand whats going on in this picture

Even if you end up going from 5'2 to 5'6, your children will still be manlets. Think about your future.

You're 26, have a "good house," a "high end car" and have already saved $175,000.00 for leg lengthening surgery?

Well I'm not that short and the women around my area aren't that tall, but it's either I'm just as tall as them, or they're 1-2 inches taller than me.
So yeah it's still pretty fucking hard. That's why I'm doing this, even if it kills me. I'd rather die than be like this for the rest of my life.

I know I asked you guys for your opinion on my opening post so I know I sound stupid for disregarding your warnings about this surgery, but yeah I've completely decided now. Imagine all the posts in this thread calling me short, then multiply that by 10 and have it screamed right to my face in front of my friends. That was literally high school for me.

probably comes from money

If you really want to get laid just get an escort or a hooker. You'll save money in the long run and won't risk permanently crippling your ability to walk for the rest of your life.

Shit, there's people out there born with AIDS or strapped to machines and tubes shit and here you are being a bitchboy hobbit mad that you cant slay puss.

Then why did he need to save? Daddy's trust fund only squirts out 100k/year or something?

Please post results of the surgery. We shall call you "the Bionic Manlet". Godspeed user.

5'1" turbomanlet here. I get laid, could slay more, but I'm always catching feels. I don't even consider leg lengthening surgery because of my sport, but it's kind of true that being a manlet makes you overcompensate. I'm not the typical angry napoleon complex type tho, I'm just charming af, been told I'm one of the kindest dude's around. If you let the bitterness get to you, it poisons you bro. But yeah, money does help a lot desu. Parents were big in real estate, set me up, I have a great job that gives me a large disposable income and time off to travel a lot.

I'm not OP. I'm a 5'6" manlet. I want to marry a girl the same height as me so if it's a boy (I hope it isn't) He can be 5'8 or a bit more given HGH. I wish I was given HGH

Yep.
Well I did get the house from my parents, but the car was all me.
I'm not a poor lazy NEET like the rest of you here. I actually work hard every day.

This user has a legitimate fucking reason to have surgery performed and he's apprehensive about it. Meanwhile op is so insecure about his height he's full blown committed to having this done just to have a slightly better chance of getting laid. Honestly hope you have leg problems your entire life op.

Brb becoming 6'10 joining the NBA to pay off the surgery and then enjoying my wheelchair bound life at 30

Your tone this entire thread is that of a toxic, cancerous little twat.

You will get the surgery, continue to not get laid, and have horrible pain and health problems the rest of your life. And I'm glad.

LOL just wear lyfts

Where do you live? I'm 5'8" in North Carolina and most women really are around my height (thanks state eugenics program)

Dont be a dick and insult us, we dont have to waste our time giving you advice

Here in Vietnam you are still taller than 90% of women

this is the most retarded faggotry i've seen in a while

New York. Most girls where I live, and my female co-workers, are around 5'3 to 5'6.

Sorry. Didn't mean to insult anyone, but almost all of you have literally just been insulting me in this thread about my height. It's like high school all over again. So yeah I guess I got a bit mad over some mere text on my monitor screen.

>he saved up for 3 years to gain 3 inches of height
>that's 1 year of hard work to gain 1 worthless inch
>he will still be a manlet
>even if the surgery goes perfect, his legs will look fucked up in proportion to his arms and torso

How about just becoming a trap?
