I'm having a hard time focusing on which segment to go forth an research before lengthening.
I'm 170cm (5'7") with a normal inseam of 30in (76.2cm).
I was at first decided on lengthening my femur but when I grab a ruler and measure 5cm (2") out from my kneecap it seems very long.
I'm also wondering if my tibia(s) are short in comparison to my current femur, I feel like I have long femurs but I am also quite skinny at the moment which could accentuate the longness. I'm 62kg (136lbs) bulking up to 77kg (170lbs).
How have some of you made the decision on which segment to level?
I'm interested in internal nails for femurs but for tibia lengthening I am un-aware of what goes on for that.
I would of course be going to whoever is the best surgeon since money for this type of procedure is something I will not skimp out on, I understand not everyone has that luxury to which I respect.
I'm 20, in university - currently working on my own business, I don't struggle with women at all, I want to reach 5'9" / 5'9.5" for my self as I feel at that height I will look better, feel better and truly feel average in height.
Edit: The most I would do on my tibia(s) is 4cm, femur(s) would be 5cm-6cm.
