The idea that LL can just totally fix your short stature is total crap unless you started off fully disproportionate which is extremely rare. The ideal LL candidate is someone with a long torso, long clavicles, long neck, long skull, long arms, big hands, and big feet, but only suffers from short legs. You can see how almost nobody is like this and this is why almost everyone will end up disproportionate after LL. Some people are more suited for single or quad LL than others but almost nobody will end up with "tall" person proportions. People who will be at your final height will STILL look taller than you because they have a better overall frame for their height. There will always be something "short" about you even if u manage to gain 6 inches of height. Now if that is not an issue to you and proportions don't matter, then by all means. But my point is you will never look stereotypically tall and if you're not okay with that you shouldn't do LL.
LL is not a cheat code to becoming taller
Can this user be banned please?
Can you enlighten me on what I said that's against the rules?
the variation in human proportions is spectacular actually. what you think isnt "normal", you see everyday.
What is true, is that many shorter stature men (under 5'7") have unusually short legs.
My stats: Sitting height is about 54% of standing height, which is 2.5 std devs away from mean (about 49.5%).
Add 5", I get to 50.5%, well within 1 std deviation.
Wingspan, 175. So that is now a little shorter after being a little longer than height.
How in the world do you think I look less "normal" after LL? If anything, I look more normal, but no one notices either way but they do notice height.

Despite of having a long torso, I don't care about proportions, a lot of other people don't care too, so please, stop talking so much about a topic that a lot of people don't care.
Hi guys,
I'm a shorter man myself currently toying with the idea of getting LL surgery. As a result, I'm working with a UK TV channel to document my journey. Excited but nervous. I'm keen to speak to people who have had the procedure or are thinking about having it like me. If you'd be interested in featuring in this documentary please email [email protected]

You are a depressed short guy who asks stupid questions, doesn't read any diaries and use this forum and the d to vent cause you can't afford this surgery. Useless user

I kinda agree that after extreme ll your proportion might become (slightly) weird. But tbh people have all kinds of shapes and proportions dude. There are tons of people who don't have the best looking body shapes and proportions: runway models, athletes, your tall friends, you name it.
Notsettlingforavg your're overthinking this way to much. 99% of people don't notice all of what you mentioned except the height and like others have pointed out, everybody has different shapes.
Well most people arent complete r-tards who are going from proper short height to 6 foot. Stop making dumbass threads ffs. You have yet to make a single thread that is actually beneficial and every question you ask has already been answered multiple times. Your the only one who should be worrying about proportions, most other people with a tad bit of logic arent lenghtning over fkn 10cm. Id 💩 on your “goal” but i feel like everyone else has done that enough. Your 5’5. If you truly believe you’d be able to get even a FRACTION of your goal you are fking delusional. Id give it at most 3 inches in total before your body gives out. Your not big or tall enough to be going to 6 foot from 5’5, end of story.
