I’ve been really thinking about this and have made my mind up and I am 100 percent certain I want to do this surgery if I can make sure I have 100 percent of my athleticism after. Initially I wanted to go to 186-185cm,I’m 176cm morning and 175cm during the day,but I think I will go more conservative,to preserve my athleticism and functionality. I’m Planning to do 8cm,so 4cm femur then 4cm tibia to reach 184-183cm. I could do either quadrilateral, or just do tibia first wait for a year then do femur. I reckon this is the best bang for my buck,in terms of amount gained preserving functionality and proportions. My wingspan is the same as my height at 176cm which wouldn’t be too bad at 184cm. At 184cm I will be tall anywhere in the world and will be around 6’1 in shoes. Yeah it’s not very tall, or stand out tall but I will be satisfied. Going from 5’9 to 6’0 opens up a whole new world for women, and dating especially for me as I have an average looking face. I will go from that short guy to the big guy. I can build muscle and not look stocky. There’s a reason why the minimum height to be a male model is 5’11, it’s because you actually start looking like a man from that height not a little boy. I even think going from 5’9 to 6’0 has a better impact than going from 5’6 to 5’9 because at 5’9 your still short and your life doesn’t really change. What do you think guys? What are some reputable surgeons that I can do this with minimal complications?

This is so funny. Unless you live in the Netherlands or certain Nordic/baltic countries, 5’9 barefoot, I.e 5’10 in slippers and able to fraud 5’11 to 6’0 in boots is not short. You’re not getting women because of your less than desirable face. I am around that height barefoot. I get women. If you're doing this because you don’t get women at an average height, you are going to be so disappointed it’s not even funny. Somerhalder is less than 5’11. He’s a model because he has a good face. You’re considering breaking your legs because you don’t.

If it’s just because you like the aesthetic or whatever fair enough. If it’s for an inner confidence you just can’t find then ok. But shattering your femurs at average height for women who are 5-6 inches shorter than your original height on average is retarded. And please don’t compare going from 5’6 (slightly above the average female height) to the average height for a male to going to a height you like because of social media.

how is it possibly retarded? - what kind of comment is this? - height dysphoria is often a mental illness - so a man of average height may well feel inadequate and this may impact all areas of his life etc

I literally said exactly what you’re saying. If he’s suffering from a genuine dysphoria it’s difficult to almost impossible for me not to recommend the operation as it WILL cure the dysphoria. He did not say that. He said models are taller on average (which doesn’t concern him as he doesn’t have a good face) and he wants more women. Breaking your legs for surface level reasons like that, especially when you can just wear thick shoes and tower the average woman, is the retarded part.

to repeat - who are you to state anything is retarded - though this word went back to the 70's? - have you had this surgery?

are you yourself striding the catwalks of paris and milan? - your face is perfect?

Are you adding anything of note to the information people require re. this surgery?

You’re exactly the kind of person I expect to find on a forum like this. Low IQ and gullible. I’ll be gradual so you pick it up:

- OP said male models being 5’11+ was part of his justification. He also said his face is not great, making the male model point moot as male models have fantastic faces (many of whom are actually below 5’11)

- OP’s only real stated reason for increasing his height is to feel like a “man” and because it will open doors with “women”. Breaking your legs for these superficial reasons, especially when you are already the average height for a “man” barefoot, implies a lack of critical thinking skills when you consider the amount of women in happy relationships and FWBs with average height men (including myself). I.e lack of critical thinking skills = slow or retarded.

If OP came on here and said he was doing the operation because of serious lack of confidence or deep rooted psychological issues around his height, I would be fully in favour. But the reasons he has given for BREAKING his legs, are dumb.

Again, pathetic ad-hominem attacks - lack of 'critical thinking skills', whatever that is, does not make a person 'retarded' or 'slow' - do you actually know anything about LL? & have you ever done it?? - & you're commenting & insulting others on a limb-lengthening site - & you call people retarded?? 🙈🙈🙈🤷🤣 good boy 👦 it's a discussion forum, 'the reasons given are dumb' - that's your view, & you don't even know him - male models below 5 11!!?? 🙈

I literally gave you an example of a male model under 5’11, but that’s not the point as once again, it doesn’t apply to OP. If you don’t think it’s retarded to break both of your femurs for surface level reasons at an average height, you’re an idiot. I’m not replying to you anymore because I’ll literally just lose brain cells. Have fun.

it's absolutely nothing to do with what you deem to be retarded - people do the surgery for various reasons - you'd call those who commit suicide retarded - what a nasty cunt
