What?
thinking about 5cm internal femur lengthening surgery in the next 2 years when im 27, with the PRECISE-Stryde
Why?
I feel like a manlet at 6'1. Manlets = average height. Why would i want to be average? Average = miserable and ugly. Satisfaction comes from developing intrinsic and extrinsic value. I am developing extrinsic value (studyceling, socialmaxxing) but lack intrinsic value (average looks, average height). Therefore, leg lengthening will increase one component of my intrinsic value (height) so that i can derive psychological benefits from being above average.

>inb4 6'1 is a great height, muh selection bias, muh average uni student isnt 6'1, muh 5'8 global average
These statistics involve studies in countries where the height of all races are averaged. as races vary in average height, their inclusion weighs the average of taller countries down. Age also has a similar effect.

therefore wanting to be taller at 185cm/6'1 is reasonable.
Risks:
'- nerve damage (numbness, altered sensation, painful supersensitivity (from neuromas formations),
- paralysis, or reduced motor function or response times, especially in high level sports);
- pain and stiffness from internal trauma and scarring;
- bio mechanical load changes and it's added load stresses on joints (back, hip, knees, and ankles) leading to pain and possible early Arthritis
- reduced Athletic response time and abilities;
- permanent muscle / adipose tissue damage / atrophy; mobility issues; reduced agility;
- osteoporosis and increased chances of osteochonral lesions;
- lingering aches and pains months or years, or even a lifetime after the lengthening is complete and you say Good Bye to your CLL doctor.etc.'
Notwithstanding these risks i think it is worth it and have booked consultations with some LL doctors. I hope they dont reject me and refer me to a psychologist.

The Perceived Benefits of Height: Strength, Dominance, Social Concern, and Knowledge among Bolivian Native Amazonians
Research in industrial countries suggests that, with no other knowledge about a person, positive traits are attributed to taller people and correspondingly, that taller people have slightly better socioeconomic status (SES). However, research in some ...
