So obviously I'm new to this site. I have been lurking around on these forums for a couple of weeks before considering to make a serious account. Anyways, I'll cut to the main points.

Height: 5" 7' or 170 cm

Desired height gain- Anywhere between 3-4 inches or about 7- 10 cm (Personally, I just believe that any lengthening below 3 inches is just not worth the time and hassle.)

I'm completely open to doing tibias, femurs, or both (if It's the best option) in order to achieve my goal height.

Here are some recent pictures of my body. Sorry if the angle isn't the greatest. The camera was relatively placed at around knee level. But anyways, what do you guys think is best to lengthen? And do any of you have any doctor recommendations under $10,000 outside of the U.S (that you know from experience)?

Thanks!

Okay understand guys. I was just wondering. And i didn't mean it's worthless as in it won't make a difference (because it will) it's just that, for me personally, i would love atleast 3 inches. I don't think it's greedy, Because its not 4+ inches, I just know what I'm aiming for. But thanks for the replies! Gives me a good insight on what I'm looking towards in the future.

Hey thanks for the reply. I've been reading a lot more about this and you're right. If I may ask you though, would it be worth doing 4-5cm on tibias and then 3+ On femurs (won't need internal since it's not past 7 right) in order to achieve the 3+ inches? Recovery time for me is not an issue, I'm fairly young in comparison to most people so taking time off from work isn't as detremental. And if it means having to save up 15K - 20K then I'll just delau the trip by a few months until I save up enough, if it means getting my goal.

Okay cool. So then i'll avoid external femurs, but do you think it's best to lengthen a couple of cms of internal femurs first in my 1st surgery, then fully heal and have my second for tibias a couple months after, or is it best to do both within a couple of days?
