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?


Damn this is the post of someone who needs to take a break from the forum and touch grass. “Should I do it” is a totally valid question especially for people who are new to the forum. The guy has 2 prior posts and probably doesn’t know where to start which is the whole purpose of the forum. For a lot of people they don’t have anyone but strangers to talk to about this given the nature of the surgery.

“ it does not come across as manly or decisive”. The vast majority of humans alive would say a man who wants to do this surgery isn’t manly. Decisive? Being overly decisive on such a massive undertaking should wait until you have learned extensively about the surgery, OP is obviously in the beginning stages of learning and being decisive would be idiotic.

His mindset is average? Are you role playing as Sherlock Holmes? There isn’t nearly enough info here for you to say that. There are tons of factors including mindset that go into being below, above, or simply at average.

A well trained body = not asking the tallest person to get the surgery? This just sounds schizophrenic. The logic doesn’t follow at all. It’s also not a childish question, it’s just an interesting one.

Why do you assume he wants compliments or that he has a frail ego? Everyone has something they want to change and height dysphoria can be crippling. Just because he’s at a height that most people on here would love to have, there are many reasons one can develop dysphoria. Me, as an example, am average height but had abusive parents and a much taller sociopathic older brother all who always demeaned me for my height while praising my older brother. I was also way below average height until senior of high school so this feeling inadequate based on height is deeply ingrained.

I’d bet my life that you are just bitter that this guy wants to reach a height you will never be and maybe already is at that. Your entire post is just projecting, you are the one who lacks masculinity, who has a frail ego, and who is mentally underdeveloped.

Hey beyondaverage, unfortunately for people your height it will be very hard to get good advice on this forum. There are a lot of cool people but also a lot of bitter angry ones who will be jealous of you. Feel free to message me if you want.

Quote from: balme on September 11, 2022, 04:41:02 PMwhere do you live? unless you live in denmark or netherlands, you won't get 11cm LL, let's me honest.


I thought 11cm was possible with LL as long as you lengthen both femurs and tibias and not just 1 segment?

Is this considered ill-advised? Does it lead to greater risks?

Quote from: Hatch on September 11, 2022, 05:34:24 PMIn my opinion Betz is not reliable doctor. In Europe Köhne (Germany) and Giotikas (Greece) are way more better options.


Thank you for the information Hatch. I only just learnt about LL a week ago.

Who are you considering for your surgery? Or have you already completed?

Quote from: Hatch on September 11, 2022, 06:25:11 PMIm 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.


For me between about 10 years old and 16 my identity was tall. All my photos at these ages I’m the tallest of all my friends.

Then I stopped growing and some reached my height and 1 or 2 overtook me. Now I’m around the height of all my close friends and jealous of those that overtook me by a couple of inches.

I want to be known as the tall guy again.

I hope you achieve your dream king.

What phase are you at for your plans to do this surgery?

Why is it wrong to ask people for advice?

Everyone here is the expert and I know nothing.

There are people on this forum who have researched everything or even undertaken the surgery.

If they grant me some time, I’d love to learn from them and make the most informed decision possible.

I feel that asking if someone else around my height has completed the surgery is a valid question? They would be a good person to talk to if they’re available.

I only came across this Vice Asia documentary on Limb Lengthening a week ago and was completed stunned that this is possible.

I believed my height was set in stone and that’s it.

And this forum is even newer to me.

I’d love to message you as I learn more and could use an opinion.

Sorry to hear about your parents and brother, and I hope you successfully complete this surgery and heal from the trauma.

I didn’t come across abuse, but the way I was treated when I was the tallest to just being average now, the difference is night and day.

When I was tall I was naturally the leader of everything, everyone always complimented me, and people were just naturally nicer.

I wasn’t treated badly when everyone caught up or got close to it, and I just blended into the crowd, but I do miss being the tall one.

I want to improve everything about myself I can. I have a great job now and a mortgage on a nice home. I’m not buff but I’m fit and jog 20km’s a day.

I see height as the thing that I can improve that will give me the most benefit at this point in my life.

The "bitter short guys who are jealous of your height" and went forward with the surgery are actually the only normal people here. Of course, listen to guys who are average height or even above and struggle with women.. They sure know what's best.

You are 180cm. You are not short, realistically speaking, and knowing if this surgery is worth for you is something only you can answer. But don't listen to the average height lunatics around here who usually 95% of the time don't ever go forward and do the surgery and just stick around endlessly fantasizing about how 1-2 inches will magically turn them from basement dwellers into chick magnets.

Only average height or above people I know are a few and there is someone called optimus on cyborg4life channel that did an interview recently. But also in his case, he was a 175cm man with a weight of 245 pounds (which is atleast 110kg I think). Instead of just dieting and stop being extremely fat he went on the broke his legs

There is nothing wrong about want to be tall. But please remember that this surgery has risks. One Giotikas patient died about year ago. So 2 surgeries means 2 x more risks.

Please read patients experiences so you get realistic picture of this process.

Im planning to do surgery at next year. Max 5cm femur is fine for me.

At least Giotikas has already operated patients near 180cm so nothing special about that. But probably you would be one his tallest patients.
