Hello,
I haven't been active on this forum for a while, but I am back here now.
I recently got 120K RARE tokens as a result of my sales on a website called superrare. This token is evaluated at $1.34~ and as such I have money to go get height surgery right now if I wanted to. (I feel it's probably smart to establish that I do have funds for this, I would be able to cover the surgery anyhow but that would be with money that could be spent elsewhere - this is effectively free money so I believe it's appropriate for me to spend it on this!)
STATS
Height: 177-178 cm.
Inseam: 83 cm.
Torso (estimated by subtracting length from shoulders up): 66 cm.
Wingspan: N/A, my measurements are extremely inconsistent.
Initially, when I entered this forum, I was looking to get to 195 cm, but I think the closest I can plausibly get to is 193 cm so that is probably what I'm shooting for. (4 cm tibia + femur, two times totaling 16 cm). This isn't to say I wouldn't get 18 cm if it was deemed possible by the doctor, but by the looks of things that can't happen whatsoever.
I am also doing arm lengthening, which I'll be covering with the money I have put aside other than the RARE tokens. Which, even if my wingspan isn't as long as my height, I've found to be fine at least in my perspective from a cosmetic standpoint.
If we suppose I get a 16 cm lengthening, my legs will sit at 99 cm and my total height at 193-194 cm. This means I have a ratio of 0.512 (leg height/total height). I went on a biking forum where everyone compared ratios of legs to height, and I found people to have a >=0.508 naturally, which is comforting to hear.
I am going to take some photos but currently, I don't have any mirrors that would show my full body so I'll have to go elsewhere to get a proper picture. With that, I'll try to do a mockup myself (I assume I can just get a pixel to height ratio and lengthen based on it to get semi-accurate results?). So I suppose I'll know by then if I look disproportionate, but nonetheless, input from others is great and appreciated.
With the information here, what do you think? I am very eager to get surgery as soon as possible, but I obviously wouldn't want to make any mistakes.
I'm still not entirely sure which doctor I'm going with but it's likely the one located in Florida. I'm in Norway so I would probably Airbnb or stay with my friend because she lives in the Florida area. I don't want to go back and forth because that seems like a hassle.
I kind of want to look at Turkish doctors but they seem inconsistent and I don't know if they could produce the results I want (seeing as I am asking for a lot of length, 16 cm - I haven't read much about people going THAT far with a Turkish doctor). Benefits here would obviously be that I would save money but at the cost of the quality of the surgery.
I'm somewhat interested in looking at possibly doing two separate doctors but I don't know if that's very conventional? Ie. First 8 cm in Turkey, last 8 in Florida seeing as those last few inches require higher precision and care.
Obviously, cheaper surgery isn't strictly necessary so that is just an idea. But what do you think?
I think I've done a good amount of research, I'm mostly scared of what my proportions will look like but seeing as you gave me the go-ahead here I'm inclined to just go ahead and do it. If I'm doing it I see myself doing it next month, roughly. Though I really want to give all options a proper thought, so I don't waste money or end up messing up my legs.
