Limb Lengthening at 180cm

Edit Post

Hello everyone,

I have height dysmorphia and am considering limb lengthening.

I’m roughly 180-181cm tall but when I was younger everyone thought I would grow a lot taller.

I was always the tallest in school and doctors thought I could reach 6’4 but I stopped at 5’11

I’m considering doing 11cm. 6cm on femurs and 5cm on tibias to reach 191cm or 6’3

I believe this is healthy for each segment and shouldn’t cause complications.

Who’s the tallest person to have gotten limb lengthening?

Should I go through with this?

I truly believe it will cure my dysmorphia as I always thought I would grow to be tall.

Just do 6cm femur with reliable doctor. 186-187cm will be totally enough to anyone.

6’1 will be a nice height but I feel like it won’t be noticed as being “tall” the same way 6’3 will be.

But I want to do femurs first and heal before I do tibias.

I’ve seen too many scary stories of delayed healing for people who did cross-lengthening or boat segments simultaneously.

So I can see how I feel at 6’1 and then decide.

where do you live? unless you live in denmark or netherlands, you won't get 11cm LL, let's me honest.

I think some patients from Dr. Betz (Germany) did 11 cm.

Bro, youre 5.11, forget about ll and live your life. Period

In my opinion Betz is not reliable doctor. In Europe Köhne (Germany) and Giotikas (Greece) are way more better options.

why people around this height would be willing to go through this surgery is beyond me. Complete waste of time, money, and energy. Nowhere in the world you will feel short at 5'11".

Im 178cm and i dont feel short. But i feel average. And in fact, Im average but still I almost hate it. I simply want to be tall. Its maybe my biggest dream. Probably most men at my height are just fine with their height. But im not. I think it everyday. Many men are shorter than me and height is not problem for them at all. Why? I dont know.

I been trying find cure. And the cure for me is simply do ll surgery.

So please lets not judge each other. If someone want to be longer, bigger or even different sxx, it's not off from anyone.

Seeing people ask strangers for advice regarding such tremendous life decisions, the mind is not at the right place.
The real question should not be "should I do it", but rather "what can I expect", "what do you think about my proportions" and such.

It does not come across very manly or decisive. Your mindset is average, that is why you are average. It's not your height.
Your character development has more upside potential than your body.

Maybe you lack physical appearance, I don't know. But someone with a well trained body would not ask childish questions such as "Who’s the tallest person to have gotten limb lengthening?" and not even knowing if you should do it.

Do you need compliments to overcompensate for your frail ego after LL?
