Hi i am 21. Been looking at lengthening for a long long time. I know I should be happy for my height at 183cm/ 6’. But I was supposed to be taller but then through bad sleeping habits and probably a whole set of things I didn’t grow after 13-14. I apologize for those who may think I am ungrateful. I already have very long legs. Boxers start at 40.5 inches off the floor. Knee cap ends at about 22.5 inches. My arms are pretty long too wingspans about 77 inches. My goal height is 191 cm. I’ve looked at the Paley institute website and it says that all patients need an illotibial band release if the lengthening is 8 cm while only 50% need it if the LL is 5 cm or less. Would anyone be able to tell me if I would need the release with my long legs. I know I am not the average patient when it comes to lengthening so I was wondering what any of you would be able to tell me. Thanks in advance

I’m not saying it’s holding me back. I never said that. I want it to better myself at the end of the day. If I have the means, why not try. I’m ready in my mind already for the pain. I know it’s difficult to understand the mind state, but it’s just what I want. I don’t think I need to go to some educated person to tell me I’m find. I already know I am. I want to be better than what I am already, isn’t that what we all want on this site?
