I think that a lengthening of the femurs would really improve my confidence but I think that might seem odd given my tibia..., as cedi said, I'd be taller than most girls without heels.

Knowing that I've been with quite a few girls over my height 1M70 - 65 -68.


Given that my tibias are shorter, does anyone have the knowledge to make me a model with 8 c in the femur?

Hello mate, i can understand you very good. I am around 158cm in height and can understand what you are going through. Right now I have my surgery planned for july 24 with Becker in Germany. With betzbone you can lenghten up to 12cm. You have to know that you Most likely wont get as athletic as before when you lenghten 12cm on your Upper legs but at 158cm i just think f*ck it. 170 is the goal.

I researched a lot and at the beginning wanted to do it in turkey. 1 month before surgery I just wasnt sure about if it is Safe there. Safety and the 12cm Limit got me convinced to do it in germany. And i also live in Germany so win win. We can keep in Touch if you want. I am planning on doing a diary on july. I think or expecr that from 160 to 170 is a hige difference. Because now you are just Short not extremely Short. And Like there will be Girls that are shorter than you. You can be the bigger one in the relationship and protect yourself and your surroundings. People will see you as as a grown man.

People will say that the things i mentioned are just in your head and its all *Mindset*. It surely is until one point. But it isnt mindset if you are 160. at 160 its just facts.

I never knew such as surgery could be covered from social security, if it is you should also check https://www.athensbjr.com/cost-pricing-of-cosmetic-limb-lengthening/ people say he's the best value for money doctor in the EU.

Personally, I've always wanted to do surgery with Solomin, adding 5 cm with externals and then nailing. I remember prices in late 2010s were around 5000-8000 k. eur for LATN external tibias.

Yes, man, you live a drama... so the only way is a quad surgery, which helps you to gain 12-13 cm. The result - 1.72 - is not in the tall men league at all (because I was 1.72 and I know)... but will change your life to MUCH better !
Start with femur, because you can get 8 cm, and then with tibia !
The money is a big problem. Me, for example, I would never have done external technique like LON, Illizarov, etc. and NO WAY to accept clicking nails like Betzbone or G-nail.
So, I dreamed and I was waiting to have money for Precice... otherwise I would have remained short. I don't accept extra suffering and risks only because I am poor and stupid-desperate !
But, of course, most of the guys here are 20-30 years younger than me... so no money at this age usually... so they have no choice.
Overall, man, if you don't do the Quad surgery, you will be forever unhappy and frustrated... so its a must !

bro i recommend u do ur research first before doing 12cm. i;ve heard of people doing 9cm on femurs with monorails and another 5 cm on tibias. that would sound good. the guy grew to 176cm from livelifetaller. so he was 162 cm.
yeh two surgeries would be recommended before thinking of doing 12 cm in one segment.
the guy wore a sweater had a short torso but looks pretty good with long legs haha.

IMO, there's a reason why they (in the west) recommend up to 8 cm for femurs and up to 5 cm for tibia when doing the surgery bilaterally on a particular leg segment. It's very hard to go past 5 cm on tibia in one go and IMO it doesn't worth it to push it for 6 or 6.5 (the higher you can go for that segment in one go if you're really determined). That additional 1 or 1.5 cm doesn't worth the hassle and potential complications it may bring.

IMO 5 cm is already enough for tibia in order to lengthen the femurs up to 8 cm and look proportional. There's no need to lengthen the tibia more than 5 cm as it's a very problematic segment and 5 cm is already a higher percentage for initial tibia length as it's a shorter bone compared to femurs.

With 8 cm femurs, it will really make a huge difference in one's appearance and proportions, especially for someone who has short femurs to begin with. 8 cm distraction is a huge gap and makes femurs much longer and aesthetically pleasing to look at.

Some people who do 12 cm on their femurs with Betzbone are really pushing it and it doesn't look good at all. It's too much lengthening and not necessary.

Basically, it's 5 cm on tibia and 8 cm on femur when done each segment bilaterally within at least a year gap between.

As for quadrilateral and cross-lateral lengthening, they are not worth it IMO. You either do just femurs for 8 cm or just tibia for 5 cm and then decide if you want to lengthen the other segment in the future.

So, 13 cm total from both segments is what you can get safely and it doesn't worth it pushing for additional gains (like 10 cm on femurs and 6.5 cm on tibia for additional 3.5 cm height). 13 cm will make anyone a completely different person, no matter their starting height.

This is your 13 cm height difference between two men:

That's more than enough to become completely different person no matter what your starting height is.

Hello! Thanks for your reply! I can see that we're in the same situation, we understand each other, it's not easy, is it? Great guy, come on, you'll soon be on the spot!
I'd love it if you could put up a post! I'd love to follow the process with you and be able to encourage you!
I'm waiting for my appointment in September with the FR surgeon, then I'll see if it's a good one and if he agrees to take me on, otherwise I'll have to do what you're doing and I was thinking of Dr Becker too.
I'll be in touch.

@BeemerM3 Yeah I know what you mean. For me LiveLifeTaller or Turkey in general is not really in Option for me because i read so many things about them. I am still Not sure if thats all true, but I am not ready to Risk it.

I am pretty sure Proportions will be like poop after 12cm one Segment lengthening but life is not always Perfect. I could do 8cm femur and 6cm tibia but it is not something i could afford to do with probably around 120k in total. Also if I do femur now and i could think of tibia maybe After 3-4 years to get the leg proportions better. I have short legs to begin with. I did some mockups. Actuslly i look with 12cm more legs more natural than right now which is quite funny.

@AnotherLLer you are completely right going with 12cm is really pushing it. Sometimes some risks or athletic limitations are worth it. In Germany we say geben und nehmen. You give and you take Man - 1M60 help plz


@quika34 pretty cool that france is paying a Part of it. In Germany there was a woman who wanted to get it paid by the Social Security and went to court with it. She was 150cm and they still declined unfortunately. So in Germany we do not receive financial support regarding cosmetic limblengthening.

@shawtleg Yes, that would be great but it's a long shot because I'm fluctuating between 1M60-61-62, I can't really tell exactly, and I'm going to be checked to see if I'm within the limits.
If this can be taken care of, it's huge. And I'd be grateful... Fingers crossed now we just have to wait....

For the model, could you show me what it does? Or would you be able to make one for me? It would be a great help
