I'm 5'11 - do you even logic?
Quote from: westercoasten on November 03, 2017, 06:13:37 PMNobody cares what height an arab has, most swedes hangs out with other swedes and compare themselves to them.
No matter what height, no Swedes are getting laid these days anyway unless it's with other men.

Interesting trivia, I'm glad we have someone with experience to enlighten us. Thanks.
Thanks for the advice, Android and others! As for the person who thinks that he can so much as annoy me by attempting to demean my ethnic group, just lol. Time to grow up (no pun intended).
I bought a stadiometer to ensure proper height measurements. Yesterday, I woke up slightly north of 5'11 and held a comfortable 179-179.5 cm even in the late night (I didn't really exert myself heavily though, remained seated for most of the day). Recently fixed my anterior pelvic tilt, so perhaps I am able to retain more height now as my lumbar configuration has improved.
Think I will go for something like 4 cm on femurs, making me a minimum of 182 cm, which is an OK/good height in my situation. The smaller the increase, the smoother the recovery, I figure. If this proves insufficient in the long run, I would much rather opt for a second operation a couple of years down the line, adding 2-3 cm to my tibiae. I think that if I added 5+ cm to my femurs alone, things would start to look (and function) a bit sub-optimal.
As for my "bike inseam", I don't know how thick "a book" is supposed to be, but my testicles are presently 82 cm from the ground.

There won't be things working in a optimal level. In fact you will be less atlethic. So if you are referring to looking better then perhaps you will depending on proportions but your body function is at its peak right know. And if you are doing femur no point of doing less than 5 cm.

Yes, I am referring to looks exclusively. I don't have any need to be particularly athletic. However, I wouldn't want to be unable to run and do basic outdoorsy stuff either, so functionality is of course important up to a point.

Well you don't seem to be aspiring to lengthen big amounts so if you lengthen. 5 cm with a respectable doctor then you should be fine.
Wow, apparently I performed the wrong kind of arm length measurement. My arms are actually just a little over 32" (82 cm) from acromion to fingertip. Would that look OK at 6'?
EDIT: I'm overthinking this I guess. Since my arms definitely don't look short now, they won't at 4-5+ cm either.

I think you should lengthen 1.2 cm your arms to look ok with the 3cm femur lengthening you want to do.

I sincerely doubt that breaking my humeri would be worth it for only 1.2 cm. Does anyone know the average arm length?
