Quote from: TallerDream on September 19, 2018, 06:30:40 PMI already mentioned on my original post that my wingspan is 175cm.
It’s concerning because if I lengthen I’ll go above it and damage my proportions a bit.
But honestly my shoulders are really broad they’re 62cm in length, that is a lot.
At my current height I look like a small tank but if I get taller my broad shoulders will look really manly and aesthetic.
I have used lifts before that although uncomfortable brought me to 183cm and I liked very much the way I looked.
It’s just mind blowing how a few centimetres can make you look completely different.
My arms are short as well as my hands and I am worried but I’ll take my chances anyhow because I wanna be taller, period.


There is no way your shoulders are 62cm from one end to another.

Sorry I meant 52 not 62, my bad. Nevertheless, quite broad

ok, I'll try to do that.
In the meantime, I'll leave here my measurements.
Wingspan - 175cm
Inseam - 77cm
Sitting height - 98cm
Shoulder width - 27cm from one end to my inner chest x 2 = 54cm
Arm length - 68cm
Forearm length - 27cm (elbow to wrist)
Tibia length - 50cm
Femur length - 27cm

my tibias and femurs are tiny.. when I sit on a table with other people I am actually the same height as other much taller guys in the 6'-6'5 range hence why I think I can be a great candidate for this surgery. What concerns me is my arms, they're kinda short making my wingspan short despite my shoulder width so idk if I could handle 3-5 inch lengthening.

Femurs with Paley with the STRYDE nail is definitely the best out there nowadays but to save that kind of money is gonna take several years.
I'm trying to get in the investment banking scene here in London and right now I might even invest another 20-40k in a masters degree to lift up my chances... Let's say I achieved so, I reckon in a couple of years or 3 years I could save 100k pounds and with STRYDE the scarring is minimal and I can resume my life a lot sooner.

On the other hand, doing tibias with externals in Russia for 20k seems quite tempting but being bedridden for several months, can you imagine how hard it can be to put your whole life on hold for that long and the toll it can take mentally? Beyond that, thrashing my legs with lots of scars sounds like a big downside but maybe it is my best chance right now because I don't think I can afford internals on both segments and externals is seemingly the best method to lengthen the tibias
My ultimate goal is to lengthen both segments, 8cm on my femurs and 5-6cm on my tibias reaching 188/189. I could be 190 wearing shoes...
In the hypothesis I lengthened 14cm my inseam would raise to 91cm.. still less than my sitting height so I wouldn't look lanky would I?
Just a thought... I'm open to criticism

internal on tibia is not wise. smaller bones and digging into them can lead life long problems. externals is the best method imo for tibias and internal for femurs.

I measured my tibia from the ground to the top of my knee and my femur from there to the end of my inner quad touching my genitals. I’ll try to measure again, but I’m pretty sure my Inseam measurement is accurate

You measure it absolutely in a wrong way. You should not measure your tibia from the ground. Search some tutorial video on youtube ,but bear in mind that your own measurement will  not be accurate as well. You should get your x-ray done

Dude. Count your blessings. I became 172 after quadrilateral lengthening. You're of average height. Unless you choose to live in Denmark, people won't regard you as short. Use that money to optimize other parts of your life first.

172 is slightly below average. average in very few countries. he has the right if he chooses.
