Quote from: vegeta24 on April 10, 2017, 10:02:22 PMFrankly, 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.
First open-minded response. Thanks. Yes, I agree, but only if I grew at least 3 CM. It doesn't seem like it. I look pretty developed already. I know that I cannot retain 100% of my athletic ability, and I would choose being taller to playing sports on a competitive level. I will still be able to run, jog, walk, lift weights, and do exercises like squats, right? Those are the only important things to me.

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?
For you.
For aesthetics and what women answered in any survey, anything more than 6.3 is too much and not good looking compared to 6-6.1 ft .
And no, very tall guys hardly ever look masculine at all.
Most of the times have skinny bodies or bodies which seems unfit because most of the times they can't have serious muscles.
The most masculine and aesthetic male bodies are at 5.10 to 6ft.
And I don't know about future generations in 20-30 years, I care about now and I compare myself with men of my generation, not to next generations.
So, a 6ft height is from very good to ideal and much better in everything than 6.5.
But if you want to be 6.5, do what you want. After all you are just a kid now, maybe in one year you forget completely about all these and start having problems with something else like your face, your muscles etc.
When you grow up and be at least 20, then come again to talk more seriously.

Are you kidding me? Are you telling me guys like Jason Momoa and Chris Hemsworth are all not masculine looking? Just because you're tall, doesn't mean that you need to be skinny. I'm not saying I will look like these guys after I do this surgery, I'm just saying that I would like myself more. And, I doubt it. I doubt any woman would choose a 6'0" guy over a 6'4" guy. Maybe 6'6"+ is far too tall, but 6'4" is awesome. It's really tall, but it's not TOO towering.

Most likely, remember nothing is certain. Some guy named Apo went from 5'7 to 6'2 and looks like he is fine for now but he will most likely have problems later in life. Most likely you will be able to do all of those things in normal fashion. It seems generally people who do 5cm and under mostly go back to normal, that is if they go to a respectable surgeon and follow all of their instructions and are motivated in rehabilitation. What the people here are telling you is that it's not worth it for your height, I do agree with them but it's your body not mine. I understand you don't want to hear "you shouldn't do this" "you have a good height already" so I won't throw that type of talk at you. Just remember that this surgery is not a walk in the park, it's a SERIOUS life decision that only you can decide if it's worth it. If you're set on doing this, I strongly advise not going over 4cm, just my take. You are 16, trust me your opinions will change.
Users like bodybuilder are just trying to help you out, he has gone through this surgery before so he knows it is not easy. You are a great height, do not take that for granted.

That guy from old forum ? I believe it was 5'6" to 6 feet, at least that's what I've read everywhere.

I respect you for this. I know my opinions are gonna change. I might never ever do it. I'm just inquiring. I'm trying to find out whether I want to do it or not. I'm not saying I've made the decision and I'm going under the knife tomorrow. I know people here are saying that, but I just can't seem to agree with it. I'm kind of curious, why do you personally think it's not worth it for my height?
What I pictured would be ideal is go for 4 or 5 cm on each segment. That Apo guy did 7 inches, which is insane
It's not worth it for your height because 6'0-6'2 is the best height range, period. After 6'2-6'3 height becomes more of a negative than a positive. You'll become too tall for most women believe it or not. Coming from a guy who has looked through many studies and used to obsess about this. Most males also over-exaggerate their height. Apparently everyone on the internet is 6'0+ tall these days on various forums. 6'4 dudes in my opinion just look too large, and that's not always a good thing.
we should just completely ignore these type of threads
