Hello so I'm new to the limb lengthening community. I'll keep it short, basically I'm not genetically short, my father is 182cm (6'0) and my mother is 172cm (5'
. I'm around 168cm (5'6), i stopped growing due to a bad childhood, I dealt with drugs and the wrong people what not and it really contributed to a large height stunt, I stopped growing at the age of 12-13 and never grew after that. It saddens me because I had so much more potential and I just wasted it by being a retard in my younger years.
I'm 20 years old now and my life is where I want it to be but I still can't get over my height. I want to go from 168 cm (5'6) to 178cm (5'10). Will this be possible? I've heard only 8cm increase is possible, which will still do me wonders but 178cm is the average in my country (Australia) so it just would be nicer to do a 10cm increase.
Which place will be the cheapest? I've heard India does it the cheapest and if it's worth lengthening my arms too since it would be pretty weird to have longer legs but not arms. Will my torso look out of proportion if i get this increase?
Thanks in advance.
Hey forum! Planning to do a 10cm increase, is this possible?
Some people have long legs and a short torso and it looks better IMO so you shouldn't worry about proportions. 10 cm is totally possible you can do 5 cm on each segment. The cost for tibia LON in India will be ~12k USD and femurs stryde will be 44k USD. I am also hoping for 5'10 and will be doing tibia first.
Thanks for the reply. Any idea of the pain and how much it will hurt? i mean however much it is, i think we can all agree that once we get it done it will be worth it since the height increase will come with a lifetime of fun.

Also do you know anything about India in terms of safety, will I be safe there, (I'm a Muslim) and also which cities will be safe
Probably from Melbourne, jk. I think you should just do 8cm in one segment and be done with it. You wont be too far from average.
Pain is different for every person some say the pain is the worst they have experienced others have moderate to lower pain but expect pain in general with pain meds throughout the process it should be manageable

15% of India's population is Muslim. You don't have to worry about that and Mumbai is a relatively safe city. You can get scammed though so have to be aware of that but other than that it should be fine.

I'm basically in the same boat as you. I am 5'6.5 and both my younger brother and sister, as well as my dad are taller than me. Brother is 5'11, Sister is 5'8 but she is still apparently growing since she is only 13 and might get taller. In my case it was poor nutrition that led to my stunned growth, which is due to both my stupidity and my retarded doctor who told me to lose weight and scared me by telling me I will have heart attacks and diabetes when I was ONLY 10 pounds overweight at 10 years old. I went from being one of the tallest kids in class to literally being the shortest male.
