So here's the thing, at 5'10 most of you would think I'd be crazy to take risks/spend money, on growing taller. but my legs are short and stubby. my inseam is barely 29 and most of my height is in my huge head and  torso. My main problem with this is that I am really into fashion and its hard for me to find pants without getting them tailored. and as you would know, longer legs look much better than have a long torso. I'm thinking of saving up 25-35k by 2018. Would it possible to go to  a decent doctor in Russia or somewhere that isn't in India, and get 2 extra inches with this budget?

Thanks

I actually understand your situation. If you are 5'10 and inseam 29, that's way out of proportion. I am 5'6 and 31 inseam... So you have my blessing.

I am the same height and inseam, and I would never even think about it.  It is a very difficult and costly procedure.

Yeah, why get your pants tailored for your legs when you can get your legs tailored for your pants?

5'10 and thinking about getting LL

I understand that a 5´10 guy wants to get taller, but if you only do it have an easier time finding pants it´s not worth it.
Post a pic, I´d really like to see how short your legs really are, make sure you hold the camera on hip level.

I agree with this. Unless you're living in the infamous Netherlands/Sweden etc (where the average is apparently 7ft and everyone feels short there)...at 5'10" you're average at worst in almost every other country. You blend in and are taller than almost all women in their heels.

I can understand you wanting to be taller...I would kill to be 6'3"...but I have a hard time recommending this to someone who's 5'10".
