Man - 1M60 help plz

Hello, I'm French, so I'm using a translator. First of all, thank you for all your testimonials, which have given me back hope, even though I know that it's a major operation and that there may be consequences.
I looked into the subject when I was 23-25 years old, and now I'm 27.

I'm 1M60-61, I've been through some very dark times due to my complex, I keep looking around me, comparing myself, feeling inferior, I'm just fed up, I've tried everything to fight this complex, but it keeps coming back.
All my ‘girl’ acquaintances become a failure, because I'm so frustrated.

As a result, I'm living with frustration, so I'm unhappy, so I'd like to know if I can have my femurs lengthened...
So my question is: if I manage to gain just 6cm, i.e. 1M66, will that change things?
I've become an expert in this field by dint of watching.
Knowing that I live in Europe, the average height for men is 1M76 and 1M63 for women.

Are there people who have had this operation who are the same size as me?

Thank you in advance for your answers.

Hey.
My opinion:
Given your height, and especially if it bothers you for years, maybe the lengthening improve your situation.
Lengthening to 167 may not make you considered tall, but still it's a significant increase compared to the average and girls height.
If you can push femurs to 8 or even 9 cm, and one day in the future lengthening the tibia may push you closer to average.
If you can afford a good experienced surgeon, have time to spare, and most importantly are willing to endure this ordeal of surgery,... I would say go for it.

Thanks for your quick reply,
In France, this isn't really a subject we talk about, but more and more I'm seeing cases of complaints about the size and I can see that it's really worldwide...., so I've found a French surgeon.
I have an appointment on 16 September, with the Precice Nail.
Otherwise I'm thinking of going to Germany. In France, part of the operation can be paid for by the social security system if you are a man of 1M60 or less. Given that I have no money, this could really help me. Hopefully I'll pass. You really shouldn't be over 1M60.
I have also taken information concerning Dr GUICHET
But I realised that Dr Betz /Becker has a good reputation in Germany.
So I'm waiting to see in September, time is so long now....
I'm really affected...

I'm ready to go through with this operation, I'm wringing my neck so much. Everything comes back every time because of my size.

You can gain up to 6 cm on tibia safely. Becoming at least 165 will make you normal short. After that, you have to either accept your height or go with the 2nd round for femurs and do up to 8 cm for maximum height gain. IMO, your best bet for 2 LL is 173 cm which is significant boost from 160.

That would be incredible, I can't even imagine such a difference.....

All I need now is to make some money

It would be incredible, I can't even imagine such a difference..... it would change my life in so many ways, not least my self-confidence. Confidence...

All I need now is to make some money
Thanks You

You have to be realistic of how much can you lengthen safely. Beware of tibia LL, don't go with unknown docs incapable of doing corrections on that segment. Basically, tibia is really challenging to lengthen as there are 2 bones and misalignment risks are higher. Just do 5 cm and don't bother going higher cause the recovery time increases exponentially after that amount. Disregarding recovery time, complications such as ballerina foot becomes very problematic so 5 cm is good for tibia, it's very noticeable for that segment because it's shorter than femurs. After 5 cm on tibia which will take about 7-10 months depending on your healing rate, you can go with femurs and do up to 8 cm relatively easily. At least up to 6.5 cm on femurs is achievable without much troubles. IMO, 11.5 cm total is not a joke and anyone will be satisfied with that amount from 2 LL, no matter what their starting height is.

u are really in a bad situation. u need to work. find a job. let your memory free from being short. invest on what you can. spend your time reading up bitcoing and crypto currency. after saving up and investing for 4 years because bitcoin can take like 5 years for gains. invest in the bear market. start looking for overseas doctor that can take care of you. some doctors will take you in while being cheap but the forum guys on here will talk bad about you because u went with a cheap doctor but dont worry they got no money for the surgery too.
doing some tibia ilizarov frames is really cheap and easy but the recovery can take a long time.

As Body Builder frequently mentions, the only realistic option for poor fellas who are really short like below 170 is pure external Ilizarov tibia lengthening. Of course it will still cost a reasonable amount of money, but nowhere near that of internal methods. 5 or 6 cm tibia lengthening will need about 3 months of distraction and during this time the expenses will be higher due to staying in a foreign country and needing caretaker. If one has a family member who can take care of him, he can save a good amount of money on caretaker and food. I mention food because ordering meals will cost a lot whilst if someone who is taking care of you knows at least basic cooking, he / she can buy groceries and cook various dishes for 1/3 of cost or even cheaper than what you might spend on restaurant food in a month.

After 3 months of distraction period and returning to home, expenses are mostly the same as if you never did the surgery. One will need occasional x-rays and some meds / supplements and that's nothing in terms of expenses.

But, the most important part is avoiding going to places like India with unknown or shietty docs. You have to do a thorough research prior making your decision.

Thank you for your answers. I do have shorter tibias, but as I risk being taken on by the system, isn't it better to start with the femurs?

That would allow me to save a good part and then be able to do the tibias.
