Quote from: MyLongLegsAndMe on July 20, 2019, 02:05:08 AMMax for tibia is 7cm according to  doctors who specialize in this field and say there would be consequences if you exceeded that. It's some of these businesses who offer heigher and claim there won't be a problem. But 7 is fine.

No it’s not, and you’re an idiot for saying that
If paley and rozbruch and donghoon, the best doctors, will refuse to go more than 5-6cm what makes you qualified to say that?

agree @ Activatedx
It also depends on your starting bone-length.
<= 15 % is safe-zone, some people can reach something between 15-20%, but it's dangerous as hell.
Everything above 20% is lifetime hell!

American doctors have done presentations where 8 and 7 are stated as the max for upper and lower parts, respectively. Some people have exceeded it slightly and recovered in the average amount of time.

There's a reason why there's a disproportionate percentage of men over 6 feet who are CEOs and the percentage of 6 foot men. Many physical features could make or break you, and height is no exception.

If you ask me, it sounds like you're seeking confirmation bias and looking for people to agree so you don't feel bad if you were to get 7+8. Correct me if I'm wrong.

In any case, that doesn't mean you should lengthen those amounts.

Dude you can't lengthen that 15-16cm and expect to fully functioning after.

As soitchi stated your just looking for a confirmations bias .Yes height is important , we all know this,but your out right refusal to listen to people on this forum suggest you've become preoccupied on a particular height.

The closer your height is to male average ,the less noticeable additional  or diminished height becomes as there is actually an extremely small variation in human height. A two inch deviation above and  below the average male height captures 80% of the population. Hence why you won't immediately notice a difference between a 5 10 ' and a 6 0' man.

Temper your expectations for your own safety and sanity.

I initially started this thread to see if anyone had any examples of people doing more than 15 and turning out okay due to promises made by a certain doctor. Based on all the information I've compiled, I haven't found a credible source tell ling me 15 is dangerous. But I'm an evidence-driven guy, and what you're saying is new to me. So I'm all ears if you could give me the run down on consequences for folks who do 15-16. Might just save my life.

Edit Post

A 2inch difference is very noticeable for me personally, but that's besides the point. I wasn't looking for confirmation bias, just some fact checking based on a doctor I got in contact with.

So we've established past 15 is dangerous, so what's your maximum based on everything you've seen?

Edit Post

Oh btw when you used the numbers 15-16 were you thinking of 2 surgeries or 1? Because I was thinking of two. It's pushing the limit, but I wouldn't say you'd not be fully functional eventually.

Edit Post

2 surgeries of course.
While muscles can grow, tendons can't, streching them is limited.
Another problem is the relatively short lengthening period towards natural growing.
