what is your idea of complications 
? 1.5" per segment is quite conservative I was thinking more along the lines of 5 cm per segment , are you recommending that low because I intend to get two surgeries?
Quote from: MrHandsome on June 24, 2017, 07:25:53 PMIn your case I would do 1.5 inches on each segment. You will still have complications but they won't be as bad.
1.5 inch is a ridiculous amount for LL and it clearly doesn't worth the money and the risks this surgery has regardless of the amount you lengthen, as the height increase is insignificant.
If someone does both segments he could lengthen 5.5 inches (3 on femurs and 2.5 on tibias) without much risks.
A 5.5 man should try for this amount and if his body can't handle it (which is not very possible as it is a normal amount) he could stop earlier.
But 3 inches (1.5 per segment) is a joke, especially for a short man.

Being 5.5 is a serious drawback in someone's life and that is said from an originally 5.6,5 guy like me which was in the same situation like you.
I was and still am a gym freak so I never let my short stature be an obstacle to bulking and I made a very built body as short men have a great advantage in becoming muscular and even at your height you won't look bad with great muscles as you are not abnormally short as men under 5.4
But I was very determined to get taller and improve my life and time, reduce of athletic abilities and complications never stopped me.
I ended up in a good height (5.9) and although my athletic abilities was compromised due to doctor's faults, I hit the gym more than before, I became more muscular than before, I have much more higher self esteem and I never regret LL.
Right now I am 2 months after the surgery I did to fix my problems with ach tendons that my LL doctor caused me with ach. tendon lengthening and a minor misalignment in my right tibia and I don't drive and I walk with special boots to protect my tendons for 1 months more.
But still I am very motivated to finish successfully all these and in 2 years to do a second LL to reach 5.11 because we live only once and we must try to fix anything that we don't like in our life (in normal borders of course).
So don't cry like a baby about the time you'll lose or the athletic abilities reduction or anything else. Everything in life has consequenses, but if it really worths then you should ignore them and do it.
Be 5.5 means a miserable life for the majority of men. So if you want a better life the only way is LL with all the risks it has.
After all it is much better to try and fail than never try and live in misery.
Muscles are irrelevant to women unless you are above 5'9 or above.

I'm starting to think you're a troll and not a very good one.
Btw did you go around asking all the women around the globe personally about that , I'd love read your study someday.
Oh and say hi to the tooth fairy for me

I'm not a troll bro women don't like short men but what is defined as "short" depends on your area bro.
Yeah that's true but ....... damn that's true :p.
Well I guess it sucks for guys like me (sorry) . I've read some studies that suggest women usually prefer men over 5'10 and being tall is a lot advantageous I don't know why some short dudes disagree with that.
But since I'm doing this for myself a couple of inches gained won't hurt 
also I'm worried about the downtime of this surgery not so much about how good a recovery I'll get or how many more women are gonna flock around me.
@bodybuilder I'm not a pussy man , I'm concerned about my height - yes ! but I think I will never trade 6-7 years of my life for a couple of inches even if they would change the rest of my life for the better , some would but that's not me.
3- years or even four years with surgeries done for correction is acceptable for two such major surgeries.

Honestly it depends on your facial appearance also but in real life under 5'9 is classified as short.
If you are short you can still be hot but everything else has to be perfect. Also I don't know what types of girls you go for anyway.
Mr handsome I'm starting to think you are a troll or just delusional. This man at 5"5 has more reasons to go all in and do 7 cm on each segment given his very short stature. For him to do 4 cm would be a waste of time. Only people closer to average 5"8+ have more of a luxury to do smaller amounts like 5 cm or 4 if there are severe complications. And besides that, you are always saying your super short but that 4cm would make all the difference?
For me personally after talking to some veterans, those passing the 170-175 cm mark seem to be the most satisfied. I personally am more than happy to have passed the 180 cm mark
Quote from: saifi on June 24, 2017, 05:52:04 PMYeah no man I absolutely get what you mean to say and it's such a acceptable downside of ll that we won't get our complete health back or be walking the same I mean why would we our leg lengths have been changed so the biomechanics of our bodies would too. It would be disadvantageous but my question is to what point ? I cannot live with not being able to perform normally with my new set of legs 
it's amazing that you came out that well buddy I'm happy for you but I wan't to be as safe as possible.
Do you have any complications as of now buddy?
Also what do you think about the time lapse between two ll surgeries , mostly how should one judge that he or she is ready to undergo a second surgery given the downtime varies patient to patient.
I had many complications like nerve desensitisation, knee contracture, mild ballerina. Now I only have mild numbness on my feet which is continuously improving
