At the end of the day, without shoes, I'm about 182 cm. I know it sounds silly, but it gets to me knowing that I'm not a real 6 footer. I've known about CLL for a while, but I don't want to go crazy, just an extra 1-2cm to get me over that 6 foot line and nothing more. The thing is, everything I read online, especially related to cost and complications, assumes you'll be lengthening at least 5-8cm.
So how much more affordable would CLL be if I wanted 1-2 cm instead of 5? Also, would it still have a noticeable, permanent effect on my athletic performance? Lastly, what doctors would even work with me? I hear some won't do CLL for patients who aren't abnormally short.
>inb4 "don't even bother, you're tall enough/you're basically already 6' "
This is for my own peace and mind, so that I can confidently continue to tell people I'm the height I've been saying I was for years. Also, I saw too many "guys under 6' are undateable" memes during my growing years to be content being just short of that height.
A few questions about more modest limb lengthening (<3 cm)

Interesting, I've read the price was proportional to how long you wanted to lengthen. Then is that minimum ~$80K price a flat rate for the initial surgery or something?
Quote from: Hagane on May 30, 2023, 08:29:37 PMso yes you would be spending less but on the lengthening phase not the operation
thank you, that's what i wanted to clarify
Quote from: TheDream on May 30, 2023, 09:50:49 PMSo I think the question to ask yourself is whether it isnt better to just stop saying 6 foot and instead say 5 foot 11.5
not an option sadly. i guess i'll just have to live with the anxiety
Quote from: jerrytheman on May 31, 2023, 02:49:34 AMHow about just do the limb lengthening and get 6-8 inches to 6'2-6'3
so i can still run fast if i have to

182cm...witu stretching and in shoes you are 185cm, so pretty much 6 1 in shoes and nobody would blink
what stretching?
Quote from: junior006 on May 31, 2023, 05:23:56 AMgo for the "typical" 5-7cm femur and/or 4-5cm tibia and enjoy being 6'1-6'4.
you're gonna wish you went for those 1 or 2 extra inches when you meet someone 6'5+
i see those types of giants maybe once every few months. personally i don't even see guys that tall as the same species so i don't really care about being shorter than them.
