I have a decent face and a decent body (pics), but I'm 5'6". Even by claiming to be 5'7" and wearing lifts, I still get rejected due to my height on dating apps and IRL, and I've always felt like everyone around me is taller. I've also noticed that I get ignored more frequently than others even in non-sexual contexts, such as in-person work meetings and social situations. Even if I do not get rejected by a woman, I rarely feel like they have raw genuine desire for me unless they are way lower in SMV (e.g., "curvy"), and I also feel they do not want to pursue anything more than casual sex with me as they would be ashamed to be seen in public with a short partner, even if the sex is good.
I'm slowly convincing myself that if I want a shot at attracting higher value partners and generally be more respected in life, LL surgery is a must. With a single surgery, I could get to 5'9", which is way closer to a normal height and would very likely make me happy.
I've done research on the subject, and it seems that the best technology nowadays is the Precice Stryde nail. After surgery, you can walk unassisted after 2 weeks, and recovery time is approximately one year. The major issues with the surgery are:
Has anybody done LL surgery? What was your outcome? Do you think it is a worthwhile procedure, or am I just being retarded?

I've done research on the subject, and it seems that the best technology nowadays is the Precice Stryde nail. After surgery, you can walk unassisted after 2 weeks, and recovery time is approximately one year. The major issues with the surgery are:
- There are risks involved. General anaesthesia, fat embolism, and rare complications such as becoming crippled/paralyzed or death.
- Possible loss of mobility. Not being able to weightlift is a risk, which means I would have to trade height for physique. I'm also a generally active person, and it would suck to not be able to play sport, scuba dive, skydive, or other fun activities like that.
- The cost. Fuck. In London, the cheapest Stryde surgery is around £80000. I can afford it, but it would basically mean using 75% of my life savings. I would have to trade the possibility of purchasing real estate and put myself in a position of risk (e.g., if I need money quickly for medical/family reasons). It is possible to perform this surgery abroad, and probably spend around £60000 (saving £20000), but the cost is still high, and the quality of the doctors might decrease (increasing the risk of complications or botched surgery).
