| surgical osteotomy | Surgery to shorten bones | 5-10cm | Extremely high (high trauma) |

Considering the huge risks of medical methods, it is more recommended to achieve the visual "shorter" effect through the following methods:
1.Dressing Tips: Choose horizontal stripes, loose-fitting tops and shorts/skirts, and avoid high-waisted designs and vertical stripes.
2.Hairstyle selection: Avoid tall hairstyles and choose naturally hanging hairstyles to effectively reduce visual height.
3.posture adjustment: Standing with a slightly hunched back (not recommended for a long time) and slightly bent knees can immediately reduce the visual height by 2-3cm.
4.camera angle: Shooting from a high place and using a wide-angle lens can significantly compress the height ratio.
4. Psychological adjustment: accept your own height
The recent hot topic of "height anxiety" on the Internet shows that more than 60% of young people are dissatisfied with their height. Psychologists recommend:
| psychological skills | Implementation method | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| cognitive restructuring | Pay attention to height advantages | Effective for a long time |
| social comparison adjustment | Avoid comparison with specific groups | medium effect |
| body acceptance training | Daily positive self-talk | Need to be continued |
5. Expert opinions and warnings
Dr. Wang, an orthopedic expert, pointed out in a recent popular interview: "Actively seeking ways to become shorter often involves health risks, especially young people who are susceptible to misinformation on the Internet. Height is part of personal characteristics. Rather than pursuing unrealistic changes, it is better to learn to accept yourself."
Psychologist Professor Li added: "Recently, we have received a 30% increase in cases of anxiety caused by height issues, which is directly related to social aesthetic pressure. It is recommended to build self-confidence by cultivating other areas of strength."
Conclusion
An analysis of recent hot topics on the Internet shows that discussions about “getting shorter” reflect more of modern people’s aesthetic anxiety than actual needs. From a health perspective, we strongly recommend readers to accept their natural height and cope with the needs of special occasions through safe methods such as dressing and psychological adjustment.
