i didn't even know this was possible actually. idk anything about it, my first thought was it seems dangerous but damn, kinda impressive though.

    Yeah this seems insanely invasive for a cosmetic surgery. I do feel bad for men who feel less valued for being shorter than average, but I can’t imagine going through something like this.

      It's honestly probably worth it if you're like less than 5'2 or so. Being a genuinely short male in the United States seems like pure hell lol

        This is some incel-adjacent shit. Being a short guy sucks in some ways but the amount it sucks is like a 3 and the amount this crazy invasive surgery sucks is like a 1000.

        Nah, I am not that short but where I live you get people that short. It's fine.

        You ever seen a 4'8" guy that is jacked? It'll change your goddamn life. I used to work with that guy and it was great

        It’s not too bad tbh. Just keep fit and women don’t mind that much. Can suck at times but it’s not “pure hell” I hardly think about it.

        I mean it can definitely suck. But not enough to break both of your legs on purpose and try grow more bone. If you have body image issues about height, you'll definitely have body image issues after the surgery, with all the scaring, your legs being out of proportion to your body, stretch marks, gaps in your bones until it heals, the intense pain and disruption of breaking both legs, etc.
