the reason youre not getting sympathy is that youre already at a height for which 99% of the rest of the forum would throw their mothers in a woodchipper for

especially guys who have already done the surgery and endured the torture that is LL on the body as well as the mind

look at this guy: http://www.limblengtheningforum.com/index.php?topic=64498.0
he did back to back tibia and femur external frames + nail and even after all that youre still 1 inch taller than him LOL

now i understand you wanna CHADmaxx and have hot model sloots throw their panties at you while you walk down the street like youre elvis presley but as far as the majority of us are concerned you should stop bragging about your 6 ft height and look into moneymaxxing instead

Please by all means go ruin your life when you already have a perfect height that 99% of short men would salivate at the thought of. Short men withstand this immense pain and effort to get to an average height where they are on equal playing field with an average dude. But this...?? Doing it at 6 ft is beyond retarded. Why stop at 6'4? Go lengthen till 7 ft. You will be unmoggable. Look what guys have to go through to have a fraction of what you are gifted naturally.

I have in no way bragged about my height. I have informed you what my current height is and what my height goal is. It's quite important to mention those numbers in order to have a reasonable discussion about different lengthening options.

I think my thread will be a good place to discuss limb lengthening options for people with higher starting heights. I also believe that it will lower the threshold for people to come forward with their wishes to do LL without the fear of being labeled as insane. People taller than me have gotten LL.

In what way would I "ruin my life" considering the quite modest lengthening I am planning (tibia 4,25 cm and femur 6,75 cm) and considering all is going well? The less you lengthen, the less risk of complications. Going from 6" to 6'4" is quite a leap and makes a major difference. I think that 193 cm is a good height, so I have no intention nor will to go above that.

tbh i think if you wanted to do it, you will have an easier time than the majority of us.
simply because the amount you lengthen will be small relative to your original limb length

if you are obsessed with biomechanics maybe what you could do is
measure you original limb ratios via xray, then lengthen your each individual segment just enough that you preserve that ratio

Thank you for a good and helpful answer. Going from 6" to 6'3-6'4" with quadrilateral lenghtening

I am not totally obsessed with biomechanics. I just want to keep the ratio relatively intact. The LL-doctors who do quadrilateral lengthening probably have a good insight on this matter.

It is a good idea to start out with getting x-rays of the bones to get the exact measurements of them. It is also a concrete step toward starting this procedure. Once I have started out with something, I can't leave it undone. If it is not too expensive, I will try to get the x-rays in my home country. Another option would be to get the x-rays at the clinic where I am going to perform my lengthening procedure.

Suppose I choose to lengthen my tibias with 3 cm and two weeks after that I would start to lengthen my femurs with up to 6 cm, i.e. quadrilateral lengthening with a small pause in between the surgeries with the goal to increase my total height by 9 cm. I would go with fully weightbearing nails both in the tibias and the femurs. My starting height is 6 feet (183 cm). How long would you say that my recovery would be? I read somewhere that the recovery time for lengthening the tibias with only 3 cm would be around 2 months and lengthening the femurs with only 6 cm would take another 2-3 months to recover from. Note that I am talking about bone healing now, not complete recovery with normal walking gait. What is a realistic recovery time for me, considering my starting height? And how long would it approximately take for me to have a normal walking gait and being able to go to the gym without any hassle?

For 3 cm on tibias you will need 4,5-5 months. 45-50 days for 1 cm.
For femurs maybe a little less like 40 days per cm.
Very bad decision though to do quadrilateral at your height and for amounts like 3cm. You harmed yourself for literally to gain nothing. Anyway.

The total lengthening would be up to 9 cm. The good thing about lengthening from a higher starting height is that you put less stress on the muscles, nerves and tendons. The risk of complications is also very low, since the percentage that I am lengthening is quite low proportion wise to my bones. I would go from 6 feet to 6'3, which would put me in the range of the most optimal and ideal male height. So no, you're completely and utterly wrong when you're saying I wouldn't gain anything, but only harm myself. Have you read my other posts in this thread? Not sure if you're trying to be funny. But thanks for the info about recovery time. I appreciate it.

Even if you wanted to increase your height you could have done just 5-6cm on femurs and have a good result with not much time and money spent.
3cm on tibias are ridiculous, especially when you are already 6ft and you did femurs too. And 6.4, is not a good height, at least compared to 6-6.2 ft. Thats why I said you harm yourself (because always LL is harmful, no.matter what, just not at the same degree for everyone but that doesn't have to do.only with the initial height but with many factors too) for nothing. And thats the truth.
But its your decision after all so it doesn't really matter to anyone else what someone does with his body.
