Advice for 4.5 inches total across two segments?

Quote from: arnoldhams10 on May 01, 2023, 08:36:38 PMI'll decide after the first surgery, but realistically don't see any reason to settle for 5'11 and not 6.05. Yes, the surgery is extremely painful, costly, time-consuming, but the height increase is a quality-of-life improvement that extends for the rest of my life.

People go through traumatic gambits in life to make the rest of their lives easier all the time. Example, college degree at an intense school, medschool, lawful school, intense early careers etc.

Why is limb lengthening any different? 1-3 years of your life, significantly higher quality-of-life for the rest of your life. It seems like an obvious fair trade to me.

It’s easy to say this now, until your legs are actually broken. Be realistic in your goals! Reason why all top surgeons only let people lengthen certain lengths

There's nothing unrealistic about 5 inches across 2 surgeries, many people have done it.

I want 2 surgeries, and I'm sitting here right now, with my legs broken, at 1 inch lesser height than the OP.

Non height obssesed people will tell you otherwise. But still, 3+2 is achievable. Just that I dont think there is any difference in quality of life between a 5'10 guy and a 6' guy. But each to their own.

Again, you can do 3 inches in fems and 2 in tibs tell us afterwards how being 6' instead of 5'11 changed your life completely. Maybe I will be proven wrong. But I believe it is better to be 5'11 or 5'10 and wearing a 1 inch insole instead of breaking your legs.

you can aim for 6'1, 6'2 or even 6'3, they are all exceptional heights for men. If you are young and in good health you could emerge undefeated from both segments.

There’s nothing unrealistic about a 3+2 and a lot of people have done it. It’s more so, your spirits will be broken at 3cm after your first surgery in your femur. You’ll want nothing more than the 8cm to come already and to fully heal. I had just about as much enthusiasm as you PRIOR to the surgery too. I’m now about 4cm in my femur on Precise 2.2 as a healthy and athletic 26 y/o and I’d rather die than lengthen another day (obv a joke, but legit I’m so sad every day because of this surgery). I still think it’ll be worth it, but no way in fking HELL I’m doing anything like this again after I hit 8cm and am healed. Fwiw, I’m 5’8.5 to start with and going to end just shy of 6 feet.
Id love to be 6’2 too brother, but another experience like the one I’m going through? fk no

Mods can we please do something about this guy? There is absolutely no reason to behave that way, and I don't think we should tolerate it. If he's unable to be respectful to others he shouldn't participate in this forum. It's pretty simple as far as I can see it, otherwise we're only encouraging more people to throw a hissy fit every time they disagree with someone.

Yes no wonder a soy paladin like you preaches (((tolerance))) and (((respect))). You're going to die a harmless obedient tranny, mark my words.

What ACTUALLY needs to be done something about is you, and people like you, who try to snake and sabotage other members by pedalling the lie that there will be 'no difference' between heights like 5ft 8-5ft 10 and 6ft-6ft 2. I'd have you all banned without delay.

3in femur + 1.5in lifts and enjoy your new height. then another 2-2.2in on tibia if you feel like its worth.

I've decided that it just doesn't feel worth it for me to stall getting this done as I've been doing so my entire 18+ life up to this point, and now I'm in a perfect place financially and age wise to get this done.

I'm looking to do two-stage lengthening and maintain proportions somewhat.

1) What's the best split in this case?

2.5 inches femur and 2 inches tibia?

2.25 inches femur and 2.25 inches tibia?  Any other splits to consider?

2) What order should I get the segments done if I want to do them both in a year?

3) Which nails should I use for each segment? External tibia seems to be worrisome for me due to the delay lengthening time. Any thoughts?

Yep. Now is the right time or you could face complications related to non-union if you instead chose to do it at a slightly older age. I mean you could wait; but then you'd likely be forced to engage with pharmaceuticals like anabolic steroids to assist with consolidation / regaining muscular strength.
