Hi yall, I am a 32 yo guy from California, USA who is around 183cm barefoot, 185cm in shoes. I would like to get as close to 200cm as possible. One of the reasons I want to get taller is to be the best version of my self and I also come from a tallish family and I am the runt of the family(dad is 188+cm, grandfather was around 195cm). Additionally my girlfriend is signifcantly taller than me about 190-193cm. I also come from a basketball backround where my height very short. I don't really care about proportions. The main thing that is holding me back from getting the surgery is finances. Currently saving up for it, and I would like to get the surgery around 1-2 years from now. Haven't chosen a surgeon yet. Would like to get some information about preparing for the surgeries and connect to like minded people.
~183cm barefoot currently, with the goal of 200cm
Quote from: Barishe on July 30, 2024, 11:19:18 PMHi, I'm 1m87 and I've been researching for weeks to make my decision.
My situation is not totally the same as you, I am already the tallest in my family, and also money is not that much of a problem.
I've just always been strong and athletic, and I saw myself better at 1m95/2M
Frankly everyone advised me against this operation, even the surgeons. It is very risky and disabling.
Personally I preferred to see a psychologist to get this idea out of my head.
It is an operation intended for those who are less than 1m70 and who experience this as a handicap in life.
For us it's luxury
Good luck
For me I am already locked into to go ahead with the surgeries. I have been interested in it for a while. ~183cm in my environment is quite short as most of players on my team are already 200+cm, with some being well over 7 feet.
From what I know about the surgeries they aren't particularly risky, the recovery time is a while though. Any surgery has its risks. I am thinking about getting around 2-3 main surgeries to reach the 200cm. Haven't chosen the doctor, or technique yet.
Quote from: Metaphyglv on August 01, 2024, 07:32:20 PMNah dude, i'm 158 cm tall as an adult male and sometimes i think this surgery its a crazy option and is not worth it the risks. You probably need a psychologist first, i would strongly recommend to you any who has a behavioral background.
It's risky, not like a rhinoplasty but highly invasive. with the right doctor not that risky but still risky anyway
I have talked to a psychologist and it has just reaffirmed me doing it. Yeah it has long recovery, but definitely worth it. The results you get are for decades.
Quote from: onedaytall on August 02, 2024, 12:25:06 AMFor information this forum is a good place. For like minded people you wont find many here. Here you find short / average height people who are willing to invest a house payment and go through torture to be your height. Most of these guys if they were blessed with taller genes like yours, they would not even dream about a surgery like this. You think just because you want to be taller just like them, you are "just like them".
We are all in this together. A significant amount of people on here share a common goal of getting taller. Compared to all my family and friends 183cm is among the shortest. Environment definitely has something to do with it, as human height varies quite a bit.

If I understood correctly, after this operation you will no longer really be able to play basketball... Just a little light weight training, at the limit...
Well it's up to you, here is the journey of a guy who went from 1m82 to 1m98:

You can find interviews with him on youtube, he is known as "Hulk of Livelifetaller"
He also had an Instagram page, but it no longer exists, according to rumors due to his health problems following the operation...
Yeah I saw his story. I wonder how he is doing now, I am not aware of a update since April of this year. As for athletic performance, I believe one surgery will actually boost my performance. Additionally I am already 32, so I am on the tail end of my athletic career.
Quote from: DanishViking on August 06, 2024, 10:11:05 AMSo your're born with a perfect height, even according to most women, and you will like to ruin that... For what? Not being extremely tall? Bruh.
183cm is definitely not ideal for me when it comes to dating. The women I typically go for are basketball players/model look and they average taller me, and thats not factoring in heels.
Quote from: onedaytall on August 06, 2024, 09:12:42 PMIf you feel you want be with women who are taller than 183 and that you want the surgery, then sure. That's the first actually goodish reason I've heard from you and I wish you success. The athletism stuff is total BS and you should know it if you are an actual athlete and know anything about the surgery. No-one has come out of this surgery more athletic than before. You intend to be the first one? Are you sure you're not a boxer who's got hit in the head a few times too many?
183cm is tall. You are tall. You are above average even in Denmark. You say "we are all in this together" to short people. That's like a millionaire saying to homeless people "we are all trying to make ends meet". You don't seem to grasp basic reality. You are tall. It is not an opinion, nor is it a matter of location (although slightly). Just because you associate with only tall people and want to date the tallest women in the world, doesn't mean you are not also tall.
But yeah go for the surgery. Wishing you success, let us know how the athletism turns out
The reason I am optimistic about athletic ability after 1-2 years after the first LL surgery is because I have a friend who is a Pro Basketball player who went from 188cm to 196cm and he has noticed a positive difference, he also got the surgery when he was 18 though. The average height among countries doesn't really matter to me, I find what is more important is my family and friends. I am open to connecting to people of all heights, it just happens my kin are a little taller. Yes, when it's comes to dating my preference is the taller the better.
Aye I wouldn't say it's that extreme. I might be slightly taller than the average person looking to get LL surgery but not much.
Quote from: Body Builder on August 07, 2024, 12:24:03 PMAt 32, after LL for sure you won't have any athletic carreer.
Thats guaranteed.
Everything else about dating models etc are plain bs. Most models are below 1.80 and don't want much taller men than them but they need status and wealth most of the times. So LL won't fix anything.
You simply have mental issues, especially since you want to do 2 LLs at that height with crazy amounts either, and I really doubt any sane doctor would operate you. Of course there are always the crooks from Turkey that would do LL even to Shaquile Oneil for money.
Nearly all the women I have ever met want a guy at a bare minimum to be taller than them. Id say the average female model is around 175-178cm, but the ones I have dated averaged about 185cm, the basketball players were about 193cm. I have already expiremented with shoe lifts/boots to test out various heights and the taller I am the better the results. 200cm is the tallest height I have tested out and I have noticed a huge positive difference between that and ~185cm factoring in shoes.
Yes status and wealth are definitely factors as well and I am working on those as well. I am striving to be the best in all areas.
Quote from: Rotting on August 07, 2024, 03:20:11 PMPLEASE do the procedure. Nothing would make me happier then seeing an already tall, insecure mentally unwell tall fxg get botched and mutilated. By all means. Please go and do the surgery, preferably in India. They’ll give you the quality your looking for🖕🏽
I don't consider myself tall especially when I am playing basketball and when I am around my family/friends. I am not insecure, looking to be the best version of myself. My height is decent, it has the potential to be way better though. Haven't decided where I am getting the surgery yet, probably won't be in the US. Thinking about possibly Germany.
Quote from: heightiseverything on August 10, 2024, 04:49:13 PMWhat you're saying is true, but I think OP just wants to nichemaxx his height to be able to date tall girls, and a lot of them happen to be models. 6ft to 6'7 is a major jump and he will never get rejected by, say 6ft women, because he is "short for her".
Yeah that is one of the reasons. The dating scene is also becoming increasingly competitive with social media sites making celebrities, the ultra rich and other easily accessible to the best women. I believe the additional height will give me a advantage over many other guys. Height isnt the only attribute that I am striving to be the best in either.
Quote from: Body Builder on August 10, 2024, 05:19:02 PMHe may be rejected as beimg too tall, as 2 meter height is abnormally tall and not aesthetic for the majority of people, especially after 2 huge LLs.
That said, I don't believe OP will even do LL or will do one femur LL for 7-8cm and never ever think about it again.
LL is not sometihing easy and you must be very determined and disatisfied with your height to do it. And I don't know any man more than 1.80 to be really disatisfied, thats why some delusionals who open topics here never does LL in the end.
I have met a been around a lot of women and hung out with my much taller friends(a few of them are over 213cm), and not one has ever said anything about them being too tall. Just the opposite actually, it's a lightningrod of attraction. They immediately stick out almost anywhere they go and the women swoon over them. I believe 2m is the ideal height tho as once you start going much farther past that you run into other issues like finding clothes, knocking your head on doorways/lights, fitting in planes/cars, etc. In my environment 2m is quite a bit above average, not rare by any means. I see many people over 2m on a daily basis, I would say the real outlier height 2.13+m, as outside my friends I only see may be one or 2 people a day at least that height. For women though, 2m is pretty rare. Almost all the women I see that height are basketball players.
I know LL isnt some walk in the park. It takes months of recovery/rehab and dedication. I am set on following through with it though as it's a long time coming and be the best version of myself. My current height is way over-rated, it has a lot of room for improvement. I believe it's overhyped due to the majority of people on here being shorter than that.
Quote from: BJAdvancedEducation on August 11, 2024, 10:21:46 PMI can understand why you want to do this surgery but I really doubt there is gonna be any doctor who accept doing this surgery to you. 183cm is perfect in the perspectives of all of doctors and I don't think you should keep contemplating over it.
People should be able to go head with the surgery regardless of what their height is. There have been taller people than me get the surgery such as a guy going from about 185cm to 193cm. I am not in the "still thinking about it "phase. I am in the planning and prepartion phase as I save up the funds. Still need to workout the details like the doctor, method, country, etc
Quote from: jbfjbj4 on August 13, 2024, 12:15:37 PMBollocks.
Even more hilarious than the first lot of bollocks. OP reckons he sees 7 feet tall people every day.
Confirmed troll, pack it up.
No I stand by what I said. I have a few basketball friends who have been measured at 213+cm, so I know I am not exaggerating.
