I'm planning to get LL at 5'11, aiming for 6'2 to be above average in western countries.
I wonder whether the cost and length of the surgery are worth the gain. I could instead get other cosmetic procedures done in the face, but I suspect I would need more money than a LL would cost to make a real difference there.
I am aware of 2 people initially at 5'10+ who got LL surgery. Both of them are from the United States as well as their LL doctor, lengthened their femurs with the Stryde nail (when it was available), and are fully satisfied with the results.
I do not personally know them, but I have seen videos of them.
Person 1: Was an interviewee with Cyborg4Life. Initially 5'11" and lengthened 6.4cm to be 6'1.5".
Person 2: Has YouTube channel "Break My Legs!". Initially 5'10" and lengthened 8cm to be 6'1".
