You are around my dad's height. I would recommend using lifts and getting a little bit bulked up. He seems like 5'11" with lifts and bulked up.Quote from: TomD on December 23, 2014, 11:31:36 PMI am in my 40s which isnt unheard of but is fairly rare on these boards. Overwhelmingly you guys are in your twenties. I sure wish this was avail in my 20s . Even if it was in some form, we didnt have the internet to get the information that it was even possible to do in the first place.
I am 5ft7, but you guys who are 6ft who pine to become 6ft 3 or whatnot is cool by me. I realize that height dysphoria or whatever they call it is dependent upon the person, and not the height.
However, I will say that paying all this money, taking time off, getting your legs busted and going through months of rehab to be 6ft 3 instead of 6ft doesnt seem worth it to me. You are already tall enough whereas your society does not judge you. In fact you are already reaping the benefits of your height. However, its your call and if you go for it, I stand behind your decision.
Just my .02
As far as how much you lengthen goes, I do not see the benefit of being 2-3 inches taller considering the pain, effort, money and risks we take. I just dont. Some of you might and I stand behind your desire as well.
I want 14 cm . Basically the safest limit we can do without risking complications. Maybe even only 6cm per segment but 7 is not unreasonable. This amount of height will make a tremendous amount of difference to me and well worth the 1 1/2 to 2 years its going to take.
14 cm wont make my proportions look way out of whack. My legs might look a tad too big but again I have very short legs for my body so I caught a break there. My torso fits a larger man.
Everyone has their own goals and dreams. Who are we to scold them and say its 'wrong'? As long as we are informed of the consequences and are prepared to live with them, there is no right or wrong choice.
