I'm a 24 year old who's 175cm and 8cm shorter than both my two younger brothers, I suspect this is due to my taking accutane during my teens and it stunting my growth, ruining my mental health and causing osteopenia. I will never forget being a junior in highschool and my mom noticing my freshman brother has now passed me in height.
I know I'm not short but I've been dreaming about being tall ever since I was 14.

What is my best option for maximizing height gained while still prioritizing safety? I will do this surgery in 2-3 years.

I was thinking 8cm femur and 5cm tibia, which would be 2 surgeries, but I'm open to lowering this by a few cm for the same of athleticism, I want to still be able to go to the gym and jog.
Is there a doctor in Europe that does deals for 2 surgeries where we plan for both at a reduced cost? I don't want to overpay, Giotikas seems good.

Lastly, what's the difference between PRECISE and STRYDE2 and which is better?

Thanks for the reply,

I agree with you that just precice 8cm femur would be good on its own, but I've read that 5cm tibia is quicker and easier to recover from than 8cm femur?
I'm going to make good money soon so I can afford both surgeries as long as the total cost for both is below $100k.
Do you know the best doctors in Europe or the US who could do this?
I really wanna be 6'1/6'2 and long femurs don't look aesthetic, so it makes sense to also lengthen tibias as long as I'm responsible and don't pass 5cm.

I'm basing this all off cyborg4life who said the maximum safest lengthening while still being able to recover most of your athleticism is 8cm femur +5cm tibia.
