Why I Refuse To Get Leg Lengthening Surgery (Even at 162cm)

People act like leg lengthening surgery is this miracle fix. Just break your legs and boom, you're desirable. But I've got four reasons why I would never do it. First off, and I think this should go without saying, it's risky, insanely expensive, completely debilitating, and it hurts like hell. First, let's talk about the cost. Now,

Now, I will admit that it has been proven in statistics that people who are taller earn more money over the course of their life. And every

additional inch equates to an extra like $2,000 a year. That's adjusted for inflation because the original study was done in like 2009. But if we're talking about spending $120,000 at a young age, putting you out of work for six months to two years even for both legs if you're doing them separately, having to pay for care or
