Are you alright in the head? Tinder should be the last thing on your mind. "Hey I just got metals attached to my legs to increase my height, I'm in pain, can you come visit and chill with me" wtf is wrong with you?

I don't rag on manlets, but if I did this thread would get me to instantly stop. Getting psychological help would likely be cheaper and more effective.

Terrible idea. Turn your potential psychological issues into physical issues.

You could end up a 5’8” cripple.

Good luck.

OP, do these surgeons require you to get counseling prior to the surgery? I think you're making a big mistake messing with your legs. What are you going to do if you end up in a wheelchair for the rest of your life?

He didn't mean height. Be careful if he wants to do a prostate exam on you.

Stay safe OP

If you're thinking of doing this for the girls, just know you're an incel and it won't get you any more women. Slayers operate at any height.

I've spent at least $400 dollars so far to see a couple specialists/get x-rays done who were not under my insurance plan. After the whole procedure I should be spending around 35k-40k USD total.

If I did this out of pure impulse rather than a calculated risk then the chances of my regretting the decision is way paramount than the act of accepting any possible regret later on.

Most US doctors as well as some ones out of the country require some form of counseling due to the sheer invasive nature of the surgery (to be quite honest it's not as bad as before, there's been major medical innovations when it comes to the techniques they offer that are minimum compared to before). Although the chances are very slim to nonexistent, if I end up in a wheelchair for the rest of my life I would have to remind myself that it was a risk that I was fully aware of happening.

I'm not doing it for any women. I explained a couple pages back why that reason alone wouldn't even be justifiable to get the operation done. I don't have any trouble with women either.

Also, lengthening is one thing, you will then need significant rehab and a whole lot of Lady Luck to ever return to near normal (before surgery). Youll be putting life on hold for years. Abort this idea, this can really get you up in the running for Darwin Award if you get a serious complication.
Wish more physicians had some semblance of moral code instead of lusting to be Dr Frankenstein.

Just because you have a scalpel and a means to manipulate the human body does not mean you should. I have no issue with cosmetic surgery...but the plot was lost long ago with the chit we have people going for now.
