Quote from: Gman23 on January 14, 2021, 10:58:52 PMLol it was me who had a similar subject in this forum. I’m only 3,4 cms taller then you. My heights 156cm/157cm with shoes on. Just like you my goals to do 2 surgeries gain 10cm plus. If you do 1 femurs surgery and gain a total of 8cm you will be at 161cm which is 5ft3 which isn’t bad...
Do a surgery on femurs first and if that goes well you can think about additional one.
Only problem you might have other then the surgery going wrong is proportion... having a short torso and short arms could possibly look obvious.
But honestly just go for it bro, it’ll all be fine. Being taller is better then being short any day.
If a man is extremely short then proportion limitation won't pertain to him cuz in that case being much taller and finish surgery without disability is everything.
If considering proportion,no one can do 5cm+ lengthening according to wingspan and torso,but I'm firmly convinced no one who is very short will suffice 5cm height increasement.
I'm 163cm tall so I can deeply understand OP's feelings in addition to me being Asian to.
Doing 12cm lengthening will surely make OP look weird but in my opinion that's far better than being short.If fund permits,he can do rebreaking to achieve 16cm growth by Paley.

Definitely, I believe he should do 2 surgeries too as at 160 cm he would be still short... 16cm I do not think that’s a good idea personally but if he wants he can do that

12 is doable, lengthen femur 8cm first, to do tibia one year later. Compare to your height, the proportion is not something you should worry about...

Thanks, I'll see if I can do 8cm femurs. Might be a stretch considering my initial height but I think the doctor and my body will be the best judge of this. I know height is my main problem here but I can't help but worry about having T-rex arms especially with my short wingspan.

Thank you all for your replies.

Edit: and asian I read your diary just recently, want to say congrats and I hope you're enjoying your new height 153cm to at least 165cm possible without looking weird?

Hi guys i'm back with some other questions:

  • My wingspan is 156cm would this look very weird or make other people think "he definitely did LL" if I reach 165cm?
  • My torso length - c7 to iliac crest - is 45cm. Won't my torso look too short as opposed to my height?
  • I understand the internal rods aren't removed right after the lengthening period is done. I read on cyborg4life's blog that they are removed after a minimum of 1 year. Can I do physical activities like running even with the rods still in place?

Thank you

1) prob not
Don't get too hooked in proportions most people don't notice it's something no one cares abt

2) other alternative is stay short for life
Don't get too caught up in proportions. Better than staying short

3) ye u can do physical activities for sure

Yep I won't do 20cm that's for sure. In these pics it's pretty obvious that he did LL because of arm length.

Thanks I really want to be able to do walking and biking after lengthening. Do you think I can start right after my 3 months of lengthening or how long do people usually wait until they're cleared to do physical activities (before rod removal)? I am planning to do stryde by the way as soon as they ship again.

It will look a bit odd but you can wear clothes in a way to hide the weird proportionality.

Because it is quite a lot of height gian finding a rlly good doctor and be willing to put alot of money is rlly important.

Tbf i would lessen my goals bc the complication rise with each cm you add on.

This is going to sound harsh but=
Considering how short you are already, what is the purpose of going from 5 to 5'5. Maybe because you live in china that makes it reasonable to do.
In the west being 5'5 is already over for you. Thats my experience. I know that sounds super dark and morbid. But if i was 5 feet tall i would just accept it because going through torture to become 5'5 is meaningless.

At least if you are 5 feet tall you can be the weirdo freak and get some attention that way haha.
