i am 185cm/6'1 and have decided if i don't reach 6'2 by the time i am 21 i will get this.

After having a Taylor spatial frame, I can honestly say that it is not something that I would choose just to gain a few cm. Lengthening is extremely painful and timely.

@snuffles689Your friend should look into lenghening procedures, At least for my son it was well worth the benefits. There are many drs. now that can perform these procedures successfully. Good Luck to your friend.Keep updates coming if he goes for it.

@huetran1985 Short girls are hot, being short is feminine. It's terrible for a man.

@Tezcax

Are u serious? Ur high enough pretty. Im a girl who only 153cm (i guess 5f1 right?) too short!!! Hate it, look so ugly & hard to find nice clothing fit to my body. I really want to do leg-lengthening surgery so much but everybody tell me its really painful & if surgery fails, becomes disabled people unable to walk...its that is the price for beauty grown taller, so bad.
