I'm 5'7, but I'm not lengthening because I think I'm short. I have other reasons that I can't quite explain.

Btw, what is the height from the ground to your navel? With that, I can find out what you're golden ratio proportions are.

It is 91 cm

Right now, the proportions of the length from the ground to your navel to the length of your navel to the top of your head is 1.43. The goal is to reach 1.63, which is considered "ideal", or a little past that for some extra height. Right now, to reach golden ratios, you need to lengthen to 5'6. However, you could even push up to 5'9 proportion wise with a 1.73 ratio. Technically, if realism wasn't a factor, you could pull off 6'3 with basketball-player-type proportions, but that obviously isn't going to happen. However, I do think that 5'7 is a realistic goal.

I am fine with 5'4" lol, but thanks! However, I think that the golden ratio thing isn't really a realistic thing. The half of your total height should go across your scrotch.

You need to familiarise yourself with the lesser evil fallacy because problems do not disappear by pointing at an ever bigger problem: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_dilemma

If you severed your finger and your friend needed a leg amputation after a car accident, would you "accept" your severed finger just because your friend has a much worse injury than you? I don't think so.

This surgery is a cosmetic surgery, not a surgery that is exclusively for very short men. A dwarf/midget can join this forum and tell you "you're too tall" for this surgery and I doubt you'd appreciate it very much.

Reading your post didn't discourage me from having leg lengthening. Insecurities do not disappear that easily.

Give the man a break. I don't totally agree with him, but I also haven't been through his experiences. However , I do agree with him saying to be thankful four our heights. At least we have good starting heights going into ll.

now I feel like a douchebag, being 180(5"11') and wanting more height. you really got delt a   hand. 

Edit Post

Yeah 5'1" has to be a tough height.  I thought 5'6" was bad but it's an LL away from about average in my country.  But you can do tibs and femurs and get close to average height.  Save your money LWM and go do LL when you are ready.

Edit Post

Why the hell do you want to do ll? You're 5'11, man. That's almost 6'0.

Edit Post

theres also a netro side to being to short, you are simply disregarded and then you can go underground and do illegal trading and earn   ton of money. because you are excluded just like dwarfs- and breaking bad dilemma.

You want to be 6'1". Just saying.

Edit Post

Because I'm trying to maximize lengthening per surgery. If I'm going to do two surgeries with Dr. Guichet , I might as well do about 7.5 cm per segment, which would put me near 6'1.
