What surgeon is going to be willing to perform this on someone who's 6 feet? If you need help with your sanity then get therapy or something.

Does everything go over your head this easily? The fact that I'm 4 inches shorter than my personal ideal height isn't that detrimental. I'm just inquiring about the subject. Who said I needed help with my sanity? Would I like to be 6'4"? Sure, but I'm not gonna kill myself because I'm shorter than that.

It's mostly for my own sanity And well, I don't plan on pursuing any career that requires having great athletic ability (competing), however, I love working out. Again, I thought only exceeding 6 CM on one bone would have this much of a drastic drawback.
You said your doing it for your own sanity, it means you need help with your sanity. Go ahead and do it if you want, you may regret it.

Maybe I worded that wrong, but what I meant was that I'm only doing it for myself. Not that I'm crazy or mentally ill.
And I'm not saying that I want to do it or made a decision. I'm just interested. Thanks for ignoring my question, though.
Quote from: Taciturn on April 10, 2017, 04:44:13 PMThanks for being useless and uninformative. You really set the standard for terrible LLSF members. I would more than love to hear your input about how I'm apparently insane and deranged, but you didn't even bother to mention why. Just remember that you too are willing to break your bones, stretch your nerves and muscles for a couple of inches of height gain, that you think will astronomically turn your life around. If I'm insane, you must be too. I wasn't even saying I'm 100% gonna do the surgery, I'm just inquiring. Thanks anyways.
You are welcome. The reason I said that your sanity needs some work is double: first, you admitted that your sanity is not OK; and second, you are considering undergoing a massively invasive surgery to "improve" something that is already perfect. Do you think it is really worth the risks?
There are many other ways of improving yourself. Just forget about this surgery.
Yours sincerely,
A guy that will be 3 inches shorter than you after his surgery

Everyone who goes through the LL procedure will inevitably get decrease in balance, pains in knees and ankles, and arthritis?
More or less. And if not all of them, some of them for sure.
Your feet won't be the same after LL. This surgery is suitable only for people less than average height because you lose something but you get something else.
For average and more people, especially at 6ft like you, this surgery will only bring negatives.
Thats a fact.

1. Absolutely nowhere in this thread did I ever make any statement that remotely implied that I'm demented or mentally unbalanced. That's you speaking on my behalf.
2. This would be 100x times more convincing and substantial if it wasn't for the fact that you are also considering "undergoing a massively invasive surgery to improve" your height. Look, I appreciate that you think my height is "perfect", but I hope you know that there are no universal standards or ideals for the "perfect" male (or female) height. It's mostly subjective and perceptual, and if any, it all suggests that being tall for a man is better, and I do not feel like I'm tall enough. It's essentially the same dysmorphia; we both don't feel tall enough, so who cares what your starting point is? I'm going from tall, to really tall. You're going from short, to average. It seems to me like it's pretty equal in terms of weighing out the pros and cons.
Frankly, do what you want. Although understand at 16 you may even grow a little taller or you might not want this surgery at all in a few years. It really depends if you want to do tibias or femurs, honestly at your height I wouldn't even exceed 4 cm which is basically 1.6 inches. It will be a very noticeably difference and every cm takes an extra toll on your body. You will never be your pre LL self athleticism wise, but you can get very close for sure.

If that was true, I wouldn't have even considered it in the first place. To me, being 6'5" is VERY positive. And, do you really think that going from 6'1" (let's assume I will get there after 5 years) to 6'5" is not that substantial? You short dudes REALLY make this height sound celestial, where it's the shortest tall height out there (along with 5'11. In European countries). In a couple of generations, 6'0" will be nothing but average. In fact, in a class of Europeans, that's roughly what the average is for the young adults and teens. At least in mine. What's so great about being average height, anyways? If you're doing it for women, they mostly like really tall guys. If you're doing it to look more masculine, you're not really that big at average height. Why is it better if I'm starting at a shorter height?
