Did a mockup. 8CM Femur and 6CM tibia. Is this realistic? Seems too good.

Edit Post

Original is 164/165cm. Other one should be 178.5 (I only stretched the actual part that would be affected, arms left original state)
It's 8cm Femur and 6cm tibia. I feel very anxious about my height and I have been for a very long while and being this height would solve every problem in my life (except for the fatness hehe but that's something I don't mind)
What do you guys think? Could I accomplish this? How should I do it? "Cheapest way" while still being safe? Ty in advance.

Ah nice mock ups you've made (speaking specifically about the quality they've been made). Wondering if you could help me in the near future.

Anyways, yeah that seems doable segment wise. 8 CM is my personal max for femurs; and 6 for tibia. I won't ever go anything over 5 on either though, but that's just me.

Anyways, besides the massive (and I do mean massive) hit your proportions would take, it's a goal that can in theory be accomplished. I firmly believe 10 CM+ is too much though, and in your case, just doing 10 CM would put you at average, so consider that.

As for the cost, there is no easy way to do it. In your case do femurs first and see how that goes, then decide whether you would go for tibia. And when it comes to femurs I would only ever recommend internal, which is an expensive method already... at that I would only recommend Paley and Guichet.

Your legs look too long with that much lengthening. Also your tibia looks really long even in the original picture, if the picture isn't misclicked somehow and your tibia is really long, I'd definitely say do femurs for 8cm. Internal femurs are very expensive.

In theory, 8+6 could work because that's the safety cap for both segments.

I'm thinking about contacting Parihar because I can afford him I think. Do you know his price for 7cm or so femur?

Yeah it looks kind of overkill. I am 14-15cm shorter than avg in my country (Sweden) though. So that's really unfortunate for me...
Why not external femurs? Is it risky?

I know what you mean, im in similar situation. Living in a tall european country and even after 10cm i can be downside average.

Because it's painful af.

For femurs, you'd have to use an internal nail like Precice 2. With taxes and everything it's cost approx $45K+, but I think that includes the deposit we get back on returning the Precice lengthening equipment. If you're not from Mumbai, you'll have to pay for travel and stay too.

Maybe take more pictures in case that one makes your tibias look a bit long by accident. Tibias wouldn't be nearly as expensive.

I tried measuring it was quite hard but I think both tibia and femur are 30cm.
Also, I think my armspan is 170cm.

That is impossible, femurs are the longest bones in the body.

Yeah it's not accurate at all it's hard to measure bone length on my own.
