Having legs disproportionately long compared to the torso isn't ideal either.

  I currently have disproportionately short legs, so I may be the ideal candidate for this. However, there’s no way I would put myself through this painful surgery just to end up having to explain why I’m suddenly taller to everybody. It would make something I’m insecure about a conversation starter for the next year.

    > having to explain why I’m suddenly taller to everybody Don’t worry about them: if these conversations become annoying to you, just find better understanding friends. I’m not arguing for or against this procedure though: it can be helpful for some people and can be damaging (both physically and mentally) to others like any other cosmetic surgery.

      Your friends being concerned about your well-being and speaking to you about it are much better than those who don't.
