Showing that even when you are perceived as being long-legged.. By filling out after your lengthening amount, you will be far more attractive that you initially thought, from a proportion perspective.

I totally agree, especially since my proportions here are based off 15cm lengthening. I do agree with the medical reasons you shouldn't do so, the idea of tissue and nerve damage. At the end of the day, you always do what the Doctor says. But purely from an aesthetic point of view, there is no need to undermine your final goal.
@Penguinn: i'd rather be 6 foot 4 and look like him than be 5 foot 6 and be demonstrating a perfect ape index. He may be photoshopped, but I wouldnt call him a 'freak'
@TIBIKE200: that is me 15cm of lengthening standing 184cm with 8cm on Femurs and 7cm on Tibias.
The reason why i may be perceived as looking good at 184 is because i have extremely long arms for my height. I have a wingspan of nearly 180cm and i'm 169. I guess I got lucky in that regard but you are correct, my bio-mechanics could be severely damaged for lengthening that much. My friend is 6 foot 3 and I'm only an inch off his arm lengthen.
Yeah so I range from 168 - 170 depending on the time of day so with 15cm added that was make my final height between 6.003feet and 6.08 feet (virtually 6'1).
@Alittletooshort: yeah most likely it is, but hey at least it gives us a visual representation of insane proportions. Dozer just finished 15cm with Solomin and Kulesh he did (7.5F, 7.5T) ... he has just had his frames removed and is on the way to a recovery. Need to catch up with him. But he did it on $8,000. It can be done .. just depends on if your body will allow it. 
@deads: I'm much like you in that I have a decent body(ish) but I have longer arms. If you get humerus lengthening (which after reading about I don't think will be too bad). Then you could achieve virtually the same thing.
Just got contacted by Dr Jamal saying he consider me 'for his programme'. I have never heard of this Doctor before, anybody else know who he is ?
He said he was impressed with my proportions, is this what Doctors base your ability to lengthen on ?
@Alu: it all depends on what the Doctor says I can or cannot do. If he says "right, you cannot do over 5cm due to my professional medical examinations" I would agree and force my expectations lower. Only time will tell, I'm aiming for an amount that is above average and if i can achieve it I will be very pleased. However, I completely respect your opinion as it is from the conservative standpoint that I will need to consider when lengthening.
I must say, the operations that I will have to endure are not phasing me. The money on the other hand .. that is a tough one. I will have 3 main debts in my life: car, house, university payments (currently 20 y/o). I will not add LL to that list, so saving the money for it will be a tough job, however i'm heading into investment banking and portfolio management, so we'll see.
I have a worrying feeling that I may have to settle with 5-6cm on tibias *smh*, when I undergo my first lengthening I want to do tibia first, so that if my height neurosis is cured afterwards, I will have lengthening the shorter bone segment, and can continue my life 
.
@Daylight: I don't know much about you, but the reason I enjoy forming proportion based topics is because it gives people something to talk about and get involved with, everyone on this forum is interested, in some way, in leg lengthening. Therefore offering some new material that is not offensive or ignorant, will often spark new ideas or concepts that allow people to acquire more knowledge.
Dont quote somebody's subjective experiences as an argument regarding the prediction of my own ends. In itself the logic of subjectivity means you cant apply the rule to all, or even one. I understand what you are saying, but please dont expect your respect on this forum to rise if you make statements like that.
@ KilKHAN: Would your experience on this forum lead you to recommend him as an option ? The main reason I ask is his pricing as no doubt he is a competent medical professional.
@TIBIKE200: Any reasoning to support your opinion? I'm interested in what information you have acquired that leads you to such abrupt conclusions about his performance. Catagni, I have not heard of that surgeon, any reason you rate him on the same level as Paley and Guichet?
@PatientZero: Yeah, I will do this in the next 5-10 years .. 100% and so starting my research now will enable me to formulate a detailed plan of what doctor I plan to go with and the time frames associated with my goals. Either I earn the money to do both internals or I go external .. but one thing's for certain. I'm not dying at 169 
.
The general way this lengthening stuff goes is that people will falsify or misunderstand the magnitude of a lot of things: patient diaries, doctor's skill levels and motives, technology limitations and benchmarks. But when it comes down to it, you will always have a highly trained member of the medical profession, you will be using methods that are FDA approved and you will be doing so, using a plan that has been tried, tested and medically approved.

Catagni was the one the introduced the ilizarov technique to the west and is considered one of the best tibia surgerons in the world.
Thanks for elaborating TIBIKE
TIBIKE200: Its not that i wont settle for average height, I will 'settle' with whatever is medically safe. However, I will strive to gain as much as a can up to 15cm. This is just simply a goal that has been formulated based on neurological factors and the knowledge of the opportunity cost between time+money .. and height. Why would you spent so much going to Paley if you are only going to achieve 3cm of lengthening. Nobody recognizes one 1inch .. nobody.
UK: average height = 175.3cm (5ft 9)
PatientZero: You are correct, not much will change my mindset based on my goals
KiloKAHN: No problem, thanks for the insight.
@KiloKAHN: Thanks for that info, it all depends on the money of course but to be honest I did feel like I wanted to stay away from external fixtures. Thing is, Dozer just completed 15cm with Solomin and Kulesh, he spent $8,000 and is now 15cm taller. He did 7.5F/7.5T. Now this to me seemed a bit ridiculous as he did both leg segments with external fixtures and he also did in a less desirable area (Russia). However, he's recovering fine and told me he had 0 complications.
It just seems to me there is very little point in going to the best doctor. If you can achieve the same results with Solomin at $8,000 (in total - including misc costs) .. then why go to Paley for over $110,000. Sure internals are nicer to use, but if im honest .. im not fussed about scars, 90% of my time will be spent with trousers on so scars aren't a issue for me.
What do you think?
Conclusion: Guichet .. if I had the money ... Solomin and Kulesh .. for if I don't acquire it by the age I want to get the surgery.
