Opinions about 20cm lengthening

Edit Post

Quote from: Skyisthelimit on February 09, 2020, 09:59:47 PMThe moment I decided to look into this was when I met the family of my current girlfriend. It felt bad guys, his little brothers who are still in their early teens are towering over me, saying things like “hey there little man or you’re a man stuck in the body of a boy”. At first I could ignore it, but the more family I met, the worst I felt and it all let me to here.

You will never do LL. It would be very retarded to do LL just because two kids made fun of you, something that you could easily deflect saying something like "it's big where it counts".

10cm is ok but already pushing a lot on the femurs. 10cm on tibias is not recommended. Even Betz recommends 7cm for tibias.

You obviously want to tower over them, we all want to be big boys, it’s in our nature as men

Most doctors will do max 8 cm femurs + 6 cm tibias, max

I’m about the same height as you, and the max with limb lengthening is about 6’2 or 6’3 at most

People in the Netherlands have the average height of about 6’0 to 6’1, so you’re already beat the average height there

If you want to try to hit 20 cm... good luck... and may disable you than make you taller. The reason being is your muscles/bands/etc will be stretched, and you don’t want to exceed what it can’t hold

If you think your girlfriend is the one to settle with, you’re in for a bumpy ride

You have to accept that there’s always someone taller than you (I accepted that as well)

And if you’re consantly surrounded by people who are taller than you, you’re setting up yourself to fail

And with people who are constantly destroying your self esteem inch by inch, literally, is not a good place to be surrounded by - it’s toxic

I’d recommend

1. Trying femurs first, feel it out for a year, things can change
2. Distance yourself from the toxic people who demean your height
3. Check if you really want to increase tibas after 1 year of being 6 ft tall

Thank you for the advice, I’ll definitely sleep on it! Adding to my post, I would never jeopardize my legs, so if on any moment I felt like my soft tissue were tighter than I believe it should feel, I would stop right there and then. I believe that no cm is worth my mobility, and I will continue to read diaries and contact doctors to find out which is the safest and more efficient way to do this.
I really appreciate your time and advice.

So measure your tibia, and femur.
Second, honestly man these guys are kids at that age, don't let them bother you.
Come up with witty banters, I may be 5'10 but I fk your sister like I'm 6'9. Or better be a short guy with a big dck than a tall guy with a small dck. Or seems your sister enjoys my dcks size, .... oh my bad you were talking about my height. Can send you more if need be lol

Will definitely remember those comebacks😂 Thank you!

GO TO THERAPY

Technically, legs that are 10cm longer than upper body wouldn’t look disproportionate. I already already have longer torso. Regarding proportions, the place where I would notice the biggest difference is between my body length and my arms. But yes, I will consider therapy before going through with this procedure. Thank you

It’s not really the kids that affect me the most, it’s the whole scenario. But I’m just gonna draw you the picture of it, so you can stand in my shoes. The father is around 1.95-1.98, older brother around 2.02-2.07 (very hard to pin down his height), younger brother 1.87-1.90 (12 years old). You have no idea how hard it was to spend the holidays with her family. Everyone is over 1.85, including the women. But yeah, I would never push too much if my body can’t stand it. Thank you for the advice

I mean, you already have a tall heigh, and you want risk walk like a 80 yrs old all your life to being 2 mtrs tall?
Are you joking?
You dont need speen a year of your life and thousand of dollars to be a cripped weird gigant, you need go to a therapist, because you are already tall.
 If you were already short, maybe under 1.70 mts (that it's no short but yes a few centimeters under the media) I would say you that do maybe until 12 cm is the safest before serious complication, but you are thinking in ruin permanently your legs tu be 2 mts tall, when you already are tall.
You dont need LL, you need a good psychologist to fix your mind
