Where to go for height surgery??

Question:

im uncomfortable with my height, i know some of you are going to say some crap like you should be happy the way you are or god gave you the height or whatever but if your not tall you dont know how it is. i mean im already 6'5" almost 6'6" but im still growing im only 17! im tired of cramping myself into small spaces and driving cars with my knees in my face, tired of banging my head on everything and ducking into some doorways. i have been tall all my life and im really tired of it. so where can i get a height reduction? im thinking it would be a plastic surgeon but idk. i dont care about $, whatever it costs to get done will be worth it

Answers:
Unfortunately you have no options here. There is no place on a body where bone could be removed in a length that would alter your situation, When people have accidents and need orthopedic surgery there are times where some bone has been removed, but the long term complications of this are many and certainly a ortho would not do this surgery without a just cause.

I didn't even know they had that! I should get that done... They seriously have that?! Wow...

I don't know about surgery but I have heard about a hormone shot for people who overgrow/under-grow, you may want to check that out.

I dont think you can have height reduction surgery. All i can say is deal with it even though it sucks. at least your not 4' 10" like my sister. I'm 5'8" maybe 5'9" now i havnt checked in 5 or 6 months but im 15 and i would love to be as tall as you.

i've heard of a hard core surgery to increase height in little people by repeatedly breaking and resetting bones.but i really don't think there is height reduction. i know you don't want to hear this.but i would think of being that tall as a gift, considered attractive. you will become more comfortable in your body as you get a little older i promise.

Well, height surgery is pretty complicated from what I understand. They don't just cut out some bones, otherwise your muscles will be too long to work. They have cut and reattach muscles, ligaments, tendons, arteries, veins, etc...And your nerve will be cramped up in a space to small for it...I understand that being too tall can be uncomfortable and sometimes downright painful, but having the surgery could actually make you have more problems...And why not look at the good things you have that other people don't: you can reach lots of stuff, you are probably way better at basketball, and most importantly, tall guys are sexy! There are tons of short guys that would love to have your "problem", trust me!
