How can I get shorter?
I'm 6'3 1/4 with shoes on and 6'2 1/2 without shoes on and it's a bit too tall for me. It's rare if I see another guy who is my height. I hate it. Most people think 6'3 is a good height but that's because they overestimate their own heights. Most people think they're a few inches taller than they really are so 6'3 seems perfect. It's not. It's way too tall. People probably think I'm like 6'6 or so due to their overestimations. I was in contact with Dror Paley, who specializes in bone length discrepencies and who has also apparently performed many bone lengthening operations. I asked him if he had ever done bone shortening in both legs for people who were too tall and wanted to get shorter. He said "sure" and that he could remove a maximum of 2.5 inches from each femur. He just seems so sketchy to me for some reason. Then the other day I read online where people were saying they know people who had leg length discrepencies fixed but now they have permanent limps. I'm not looking for people to tell me "don't do this. 6'3 is great" because it sucks so much more than you could ever know. I'm just asking if anyone has had this done or knows a lot about it. Does anyone know dr. Paley? How many people have their legs lengthened each year? Shortened?
