for now, you have to educate yourself and read a lot of diaries, patients experience, most suitable method for you and of course an experience doctor. Forget about 187 cm its nearly impossible, even if you recovered after half decade you will look unattractive.

Half a decade lololololol XD
Ok I think I could be happy with 13 cm
Thanks a lot

Hey Mod997 -

My response might seem contrary to popular opinion, but I think 15 cm is not an unrealistic goal. I'm not saying it's going to be easy but if you're committed and plan things out, it's very feasible. Age plays a vital factor in your rate and quality of recovery. You're quite lucky to be 19 and can still afford Guichet or Paley, who are considered the best surgeons in this field. So here are some tips/suggestions on how you can achieve this goal.

- Improve your flexibility and muscle mass. Dedicate 6 months to 1 year on drastically improving your flexibility and muscle mass. That should really help to squeeze out those last few cms.
- Go for as much as you can on Femur, and as less as you can Tibia. As in, aim for 8-10 cms on the femur and remaining 7-5cm on tibia. The best case scenario is 10 Femur and 5 Tibia, and the worst is 8 Femur and 7 Tibia. The reason I suggest this because the rate of recovery in femur is quite faster than tibia. Moreover, your femur appears to be shorter than tibia, so it helps proportions wise too.
- First lengthen your femurs. One you're finished, don't immediately go for tibia lengthening. Give your body some time to heal and adjust to your new height and regain flexibility. If you can, I'd say take an year gap before your lengthen your tibia. Because you can increase the maximum on femur, so your height neurosis might be gone by the time you finish femur lengthening and you may not look for another surgery. Moreover, you can still wear shoes with thick sole shoes, which would look awkward if you'd first done tibia lengthening (might look like you're standing on a box)
-When you hit 15 cm, you might look a bit disproportionate. But I think it's better to be disproportionate than being short. That being said, it's also much much much better to be short than being crippled. So take every step with caution.

The key for this whole journey to be successful is your determination - how badly you want this and how much pain and inconvenience are you willing to endure to achieve this height.
