Hi all, I was just wondering if you thought it would be possible for me to go from 5'7 (171cm) to 6' (183cm), likely with two separate surgeries, and still look proportional. As you may have guessed, I'm 5'7, a fair bit on the short side. My dream has always been to be about 6' or 6'1. Maybe I'm being a bit greedy 
.
I wanted to hear your thoughts on whether this is feasible or not. I've seen some videos and pics of people who have lengthened 9cm who look pretty good to me.

Seeing as how these people look all right after 9cm, do you think lengthening 12-13cm and still looking proportional is a realistic goal? I understand this would have to be done over two surgeries.
Please let me know your thoughts, thanks so much for your help everyone.
Can I go from 5'7 to 6' and still be proportional?
Yeah, greedy. Just do 5-6 cms and wear lifts. I'm 5'8 and that's what I'm gonna do anyway.
Did you not notice how stiff the guy from the first video was, even after 2 years?
That would not be acceptable to me, also his arms looked very small.
Holland it does require noting that he went 9cm straight to Tibias. If it had been 6cm per segment spread out with enough time it's possible to end up with. Better end result that of the 2nd vid guy
Okay but I'm talking about the guy from the first video, his movement is very unnatural.
Imagine living in an uncapable body like that for the rest of your life, -not worth it!
Of course not but 9cm is a ridiculous amount to do for cosmetic reasons (in my opinion) however 6cm is a much safer alternative. Like I said if he did that, consolidated and waited some time after that for safety and then did 6cm femurs, well then it's not crazy to see there'd be a very good chance it'd go well.

And yet he did even less, 5CM +4CM and he still didn't recover very well.
Both of those guys look like they ended up with short arms compared to their height. I think it looks better on the buffer guy because he has more muscle mass.
The skinny guy with the stiff walking looks particularly unnatural. When he first started walking I just thought, "wow what long slender hairless legs". Super effeminate.
I'm not sure but I think the buffer guy did it all in his femurs. He carries it well. The arms look short but yet largely due to the muscle it's not a hindrance. Or rather, I should say, he's clearly better off being tall with short arms than being short with short arms.
OP, what's your wingspan? What's your wrist circumference?
After 2 years and still walking like that I haven't seen one compete video of someone at complete recovery
