Honestly reading the replies, this might not be what people are suggesting but I am consulting some friends and going over some photo shopped pics and I might just stick to 7 cm femurs (maybe 8cm). I realize 177 cm is not a bad height generally speaking, but I also want to lengthen enough to stop thinking about height.

Height neurosis is complicated af and is all based on body image and individual perception. Paley actually discussed this in one of his interviews with Cyborg4Life. Being unsatisfied with your height can happen at any height whether it be at 160cm or 180cm.
It's not really our place to judge OP for wanting to do this surgery even tho they're already at an average height. To OP: if you truly feel like this procedure will make you feel happy then by all means do it but please stay safe and choose a good doctor who has a lot of experience
If you've done LL, you understand how difficult it is. The hardest and most painful thing I've ever done in my life. I literally would not even think of this procedure if I was 5'8+.
I guarantee 7-8cm will be enough. Bilateral will be less painful plus that will pretty much already put you in the 6'1 range. Regardless of the actual numbers, for most people the fact that you did something about your height is already enough to cure height neurosis. The problem is never your height but how it makes you feel; this is what most people don't understand.

That's exactly the reasoning I was going through right now, I just need to lengthen enough to not think about height anymore! I am just really worried about lengthening 7-8 cm (in one bone) as that might limit my athletic abilities.
The silver lining is that my legs are already on the longer side (I don't mind them being longer according to my photoshop edits) and 8 cm is exactly 15% of my femur length.
I am really worried about my athletic performance...
The fact is it will affect your athletic abilities 100% since your biomechanics are completely going to change. Even simply squatting your lever arm will be completely different if you do femurs. It really shouldn't be something you should be worrying about tho unless you're a world class athlete in whatever sport it is you'll be doing.
If you know the risks and are ok with the trade-offs then you should go for it but remember this is a surgery that will take an immense toll on both your physical/mental health and quads are even more intense and very few do it ( I saw one JP person that did it 2 years ago and he legit runs like someone that his pants - but he did all LON 16cm and he's satisfied with the results ).
The best thing you can probably do now is to find a quality Doctor that you can trust and have good basis with.
The state of this forum. So many clowns wanting to risk their mobility at 5'10. Its diminishing returns past average height, and huge sacrifice. You sound like a looksmaxxer. Whats next after LL? Bimax? Jaw implants?
Probably a penis enlargement

why would i get bimax or jaw implants? nothing wrong with my jaw... "the state of this forum" is certainly not improving with your condescending attitude.
No one bats an eye when people lengthen to 180 or 181 cm and push for a whole 8 cm increase in femurs to reach that height despite an increase in complication rates... no one questions why they don't just stop at 177 cm but hell rises the moment you start lengthening at 177 cm.
jesus christ another looksmaxxer with a normal height wanting to get LL. You live in clownland my friend.
