A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tall: Leg reduction surgery is a fairly extreme measure and is used in certain cases with marked discrepancies in limb lengths. Your height is fine and most men write in asking how to be taller. Please learn to love & accept yourself. Surgery is not the right direction to go.
