Hello, I'm a newbie to this forum. I have been contemplating how much I could gain at 150 cm from LL without looking too ridiculous. I'm 19 years old and I would like to at least hit 164-165 cm. It would seems to me it would definitely take 2 surgeries in order to reach my goal. Feel free to ask questions,information, or give me some advice below.

Since you're only 19, are you sure you wont grow anymore or you already ceased growing ?. It's rare but some people have a late growth spurt or they don't stop growing til around 21.
How much you could lengthen also depends on your body proportions, like the relative length between your torso and legs. Wingspan and height and tibia/femur ratio. Also depends if you want maintain a proportional body. Some people don't care and just want extra height at the expense of how they look.
If you want a basic idea of how you would potentially look with your leg bones extended up to 15cm, do a mock up LL on ms paint
Thanks for responding.
Well I'm sure I wont grow anymore my growth plates have probably closed. Due to the fact that I have not grown any taller since middle school, plus I'm Asian and I would say I'm proportional. How would I go about measuring my proportions exactly like with a measuring tape? Also how do I use ms paint to get a general idea?
I will try to post a photo of myself, and I think I have seen the photo you are talking about. He looked way out of proportion compared to the normal standing non LL guy. I'm figuring if he wasn't so skinny he would have looked more proportioned, but I'm not so sure it would have made a significant difference.Quote from: tlannister on August 02, 2018, 08:03:56 AMits hard to say without seeing your current proportions.
Some people have large torso and short legs. These can obviously lengthen without messing up their proportions.
Other people are already proportional even if petite. (Asian/Indian)
Crazy+6 (Indian) I think lengthened alot and on a picture he posted which is removed now btw, he looked like a man on stilts.
So again, try to post a picture where you black out your face and other identifiable marks.
Well I'm from the united states, so I don't think I would qualify for insurance.
