What is the minimum height, optimal height and maximum height as a male or female that would make you happy.

For me (male): 5'9, 6'0, 6'1 - I think I would look weird any taller.

I meant optimal to you - whatever your considerations which may well include proportions.

Quote from: myloginacc on November 23, 2018, 12:23:56 PMMinimum: an amount that gets me through this surgery without leaving as dire permanent effects, speaking in terms of hip and knee pain, stamina, increased risk of blood clots, etc. Sadly, it's almost impossible to find a diary where the patient went for the doctor's recommendation of only lengthening 10% of their initial bone length, and also kept writing to report back to us on how their recovery went, years after the whole process was finished. I'm just happy I can even increase my height.

Optimal: still unsure.

Maximum: 180cm/5'11. I don't want to stand out. 180cm would let me be considered average-ish even in the tallest countries of the world.

Sounds wise.  What's your current height if you don't mind me asking - I am 5'6 (169 cm).
