is 175 out of the question or even 180?

I don't want to become a cripple I want a surgery with a budget of around 30k and 3-6 month recovery time? Am I being unrealistic?

I can live without 180. I guess 174 is enough for me

U can even go more than 180 but I won't advise cuz the risk of complications will be too high

Just do 8 cm on femurs and see if that is enough for you. According to DR Rozbruch 80% of his patients are satisfied with just that, and if it isn't enough you can do 5 on tibias. However doing more than 10 cm at that height (I'm that myself) porpertions starts to become off and it's really noticeable. So I would max if your're really craving height do both 8+5 cm but with 8+ cm your're already 175 cm ish which is within the normal range.

How long do you have to stay in the hospital with Rozbruch? NY rent really high compared to baltimore.

You can become about 1.72 with one LL or 1.80 with both segments if you push hard. Risks are big though with pushing to the limits with 2 LLs.
12cm in one segment are for lunatics and wannabe crippled ones. Stay semsible to your goals.
