I’ve been thinking about the surgery for a longgggg time now. I’m 155cm, 5ft1. Without shoes on.
Gaining 3 inches won’t really make a difference for me, so my goal is to do two surgeries, gain 6 inches. But at my current 155cm wingspan, I think it could look disproportionate, long legs, short arms. Please reply, There is a MMA fighter, ARTEM LOBOV, who’s 175cm and has a wingspan of 166cm and I think I could possibly look fine, I am so confused. PLEASE REPLY and HELP A friend. THANK YOU.

160 cm is 5ft 3. So you just need 4 inches, will probably be fine.

Sorry just measured my self right now and I’m 155cm, wearing shoes I’m 160cm, and I thought my wingspan was at least 160cm but that is the same too. Do you still think I’d look alright after gaining 6inches.

Nope, you'd look weird then. Can only consider it if you get humerus lengthening and your torso is long enough but I doubt it'll look fine on most. I'd recommend rethinking goals to 165cm barefoot at best.

Thank you for your reply, will take it in consideration. I was scrolling Through Dr mahboubians site, heightlengthening.com and came across a patient who was 5ft2 and gained 14cm making him 5ft7.5 and to me the patient did not look disproportionate. So there’s a chance they I might look alright if I went for 5 inches rather then 6

To be honest if I was that short I would take inches over proportionality anyday. To go from 5'1 to 5'7 is literally life changing- many LL aren't really truly life changing but this is. You go from a literal midget to a everyday normal dude. This is as close to a literal Buddhist reincarnation as humans can get haha. I wouldn't worry too much about proportionality, you're gonna remain unhappy at that height regardless if you don't take action

Thank You bro. I messaged Dr mahboubian and he said 5 inches would look fine. So will prob go for 5 inches. So from 5 ft 1 will be 5 ft 6 hopefully. Will prob wear shoes like timberland, so will probably gain another 1.5 inches, so then 5 ft 7.5 hopefully.

you are too greedy, doctors will say anything to accommodate your greed so they can fill their pocket. just do a 5cm in one segment-first, if you come out of it without any complication, then go for a second surgery.
