Quote from: KiloKAHN on December 27, 2014, 11:04:37 AMFrom what I've discussed with my doc, being taller doesn't equal faster recovery. The benefit of having a larger starting height is that in general you can lengthen a longer amount before having soft tissue complications such as equinus show up as compared to someone with a shorter limb. Your rate of consolidation will be no different than if you were short though.


Damn. There's no way out. You have to stay for at least 4-6months doing CLL assuming everyone does 5cms Max. But less complication risk will have less setbacks which is good.

Complications, lasting effects and proportion are really my main concerns. I am satisfied with pretty much everything in my life except for my height which bugs me constantly.

My goal is to reach a height I can feel good about without it ruining the things about me I like. I would rather be shorter and proportionate than tall but weird looking also I would never do this if I thought my body couldn't recover almost completely -that's why I'd rather do 4-5CM than 6-7CM.

I'm in the same boat. I'm satisfied with everything about my appearance except for my height and unusually large head. It bothers me that nature kinda laughed in my face when I was given a size 14 usa shoe and huge head but a pathetic height of 185cm. It would be like starting war to building peace if I only grew an inch from this surgery but am gonna aim for 4 to possibly 5cms because even though 5cms is not a huge difference in height, it does have a really long recovery time compared to 4cms or below.

Personally, I don't think the cost of LL, monetary, time-wise, and physical, is worth it for less than 4CM. That's an inch and a half. To each his own, though.

now I understand, huge head makes you seem smaller, in your case it may make you look 182cm or something like that

The shortest people usually think i am is 6'0". I guess it's just easier to round up since the difference between it and 6'1" is barely noticable and not worth mentioning.

Yeah I'm doing 4cm if the recovery rate will be significantly shorter than 5cms. Like if it takes me 2 months less to finish the surgery but if it's marginal, I'll do 2".

That would suck. Dr Ginza Kojima claims to have something that would "shrink your head" if need as well as his claim of a surgical free height lengthening.But I'm not gonna do it since the outcome could be drastic and its a scam in both aspects.

I am glad that we have some nice tall peers on this forum. Most of the tall peers feel that they are superior due to their height, yet not all of them are like that. Not everyone is bad, and almost everyone is tall so. Even though we are getting a little bit off the subject I guess.

A lot of guys who are 6'2" and up have an ego I agree. You'll still be intimidated by men 6'3" and up if you in the 6'0-6'2" range.
