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.

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)
Same price. Shorter recovery, prob not much athletic performance changes for 1-2cm. Expect 3 month post surgery to walk normally and 6-8 months to get back to sports.
Most doctors no longer care about your starting height. It was a thing of the past where they cared more, but now everyone is accepted if you pay for it and pass the blood tests.

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?
This is one of the most ridiculous things i heard. 1.5cm LL. lol
lol leave my mans alone. We all acknowledged he’s an idiot. It’s nice we have surgery to get taller but he’s got no surgery to get his brain larger so cut him a break
Lool
182cm...witu stretching and in shoes you are 185cm, so pretty much 6 1 in shoes and nobody would blink
I lost brain cells reading this. Forget about ll and live your life ffs

Take out a ruler and look at the lengths you are suggesting. Then understand you're looking at probably 2 years of recovery from surgery to nail removal, scar removal, and athletic recovery. Im telling you in good faith this is not something you want to do.

TBF you are being dunked on for asking questions that could be answered with a small amount of research
the procedure will cost the exact same
the price of the nail is fixed
the operation will take the exact same amount of time to perform because the surgery is just the breaking of your bones
your postop hospital stay will be the same
you could potentially be saving money not from the surgery itself but from cost of living
aka
you would only need to pay for a bout 3 weeks of accomodation
the amount of physio may be shorter so you may be charged for less sessions
so yes you would be spending less but on the lengthening phase not the operation
