Proportions female

Edit Post

Hi!

I have been for a long time thinking to do a quad. lengthening(both femurs and tibias at the same time), but the recovery and the amount of pain has been a down factor for me. Now I am just thinking to do femurs. I am 163cm (my lenghtening goal is 170cm) and I have uploaded some mock ups of lengthening my femurs. Does this look weird? Are my tibias to short? Femurs or tibias(or both) for me?

+7 cm on femurs looks fine. However, do you have knock knees? In case these can only be corrected by breaking the tibias, and not through exercises, you should take that into consideration (for health reasons, not visuals). I would consult an orthopedic surgeon before making the final decision because of that. Tibias can be lengthened up to 5-7 cm, too.

Thanks for the information. I have actuallyy thought that my knees does look a little weird.. But thought more of it.. Will def look into it.

If you only one surgery go for tibias much cheaper than femurs  and external methods are less invasive and the surgery is safer. If I were you I would do 6 cm in the tibias

Here comes one of those annoying "dont do it posts". But at least consider what i say. I have done this surgery. So I'm talking from own experience and not out of my ass.


The tallest women in the world are located in northern Europe. The average woman there is between 165-175cm tall. Almost all women in northern Europe fall within that category. So you are only 2cm shorter than the average height of the tallest women on the planet.

So the question then is why do you feel the need to semi-cripple yourself and waste tons of money? you would not stick out in a group of women. Is it because you feel you will get more attention from guys? basically no guy out there will consider a 163cm girl "to short". Most of my male friends are around 190cm and their girlfriends are all in the 165cm range.

My sincere suggestion to you is save your money, time and health. Instead improve your body with workout at the gym or sport. You will get much more out of it.


And lastly: im a man who went from 160cm(!) to 170cm and i can honestly say my life didn't change much. If this didn't convince you then i would strongly recommend doing maximum 6cm in femurs. If you do more than that you will look weird, i did 9cm in femurs and my body looks weird.

Thank you for your input and just taking the time to reply to me.

I have gotten many of these "dont do it" arguments and I do understand why. Its a little crazy to risk health, time and money for this surgery but I am afraid at this point nothing will stop me. I have been to therapy and tried to fix "other things", but the only way for me to be happy would be me getting taller... Sounds stupid, but it is the truth.
I am also sorry for my english as it is not my first language.

Do you mind me asking some questions about the surgery?

I know this isn't what you want to hear but unless you're trying out for a modelling career or something in fashion then I'm not too sure if your life would change if you go from 163cm-->170cm. It's quite literally the average in the U.S for a female and female beauty standards don't force them to be tall, at least in America and a lot of western countries.

I don't know though, maybe in your culture it is different and female heights is emphasized along with male heights. Whatever you choose to do, good luck.

Exactly. Best do it somewhere in India or Egypt. I hear Afghanistan is pretty good too these days. Definitely don’t waste any of your money on the internal voodoo practiced in the US and Europe.
