Good morning,
I would like a gain of at least 4.5 cm on the tibia/femur or 7 cm on the femur. My question is the following, should it be better than 4.5 cm on the femur and be able to hope to keep its athletic capacity or go up to 7 cm given the throwing procedure in order to have a greater gain in size. As a reminder, 6'1 would suit me but if I can be 6'2 I wouldn't give up on that.

I understand your point of view however I really do it for myself and not for others. I know very well that my starting height is above average, however, I have always dreamed of being 1m85 barefoot in the evening, which is why I want to do the procedure. my question is to know if 4.5 and 7 cm is there a difference in terms of complication because the procedure is already very very long why not aim for more. once again I'm not judging anyone

ok I see and regarding the recovery time how much should we expect I hope 12 months or 1 and a half years maximum. in your case, viking you will go from 5'6 to 5'8. It's really not bad but you think you can retain some of your agility and your physical abilities in a more general way. in my case I plan more than 4.5 cm so as not to lose too much capacity but also to convert decent proportions.

Thank you for your answer. I'm currently considering 6 cm but I don't know if it's risky. I measure 1m80.5 at night and my femurs are around 50cm (a little less). but I don't know if it's better to make 5cm or 6cm?

I'm revisiting this topic to determine whether 4.5 cm is better than 7 cm. The ideal height I'm aiming for is 6 cm or 6.5 cm. However, I've noticed a significant loss of agility and potential biomechanical issues. From an aesthetic perspective, I'm leaning toward lengthening 4.5 cm on the tibia rather than the femur. My question is for those who have undergone this procedure: if you've reached 6 cm or more, do you regret your decision to exceed 6 cm? Thank you all in advance for your valuable responses.

Thank you very much lengthenme. your answer is very important. my goal is not to be 100% within 1 or 2 years but I would say that within 5 years I hope to feel that I have had a lengthening operation or at least to feel like everything would be fine. now if 6 cm or even 7 cm is not a problem why not. I plan to do the lengthening with precise 2. Some were able to resume the course of their life 100%, they regained their athletic abilities after 2-3 years, is this a myth in your opinion? Thank you again and I hope your lengthening goes well. for the arms in my opinion if you don't have a difference of 3 inches it doesn't make the humerus it really isn't visible

I understand your point of view and I would even say that a part of me thinks like you.  but I still have this obsession and my dream has always been to be big.  for the procedure I know that it is extremely trying and I even mentally prepared myself to lose my legs or to lose my life lol (just kidding) in any case I could only do it in 2 years and by then  maybe the procedure will have evolved or maybe I would have grown up  4.5cm or 7cm lol.
