I'm in the final stages of planning my limb lengthening surgery. I am a 24 year old at 5'9 and would move to 6'0 with the surgery. I would be getting the precise max for 8cm in each femur.
The total cost of the surgery comes out to 92k of which I only have 52k saved up (retirement). I am attending graduate school in the fall for a 5 year PhD program, and this would likely be the only window I would be able to take off 4 months to do the surgery.
Is the benefit worth nuking my finances for the next 5 years
