Newbie here, but I've been lurking for months on this forum. I'm 157cm (5'2) and 22 years old, I won't go into my reasons for considering LL because I think that's a given. I would appreciate comments only related to LL, as I feel very self-conscious putting not the most flattering photo of myself in underwear on the internet!

I would love your thoughts on the mockup I did, or if I should do one of the femurs instead/included. I would love to gain more than 6cm, but I still want to be reasonably proportional! Realistic height gain for a really short girl?

Femurs imho would be better.

You want to do internal or externals?

I've read up on each and from what others say, internals are best for femurs and exterior for tibia? I would definitely prefer internals, but permanent knee problems sounds terrifying. I'm also deficient in vitamin D, so I'm wondering if I would even be allowed to have it done?  Realistic height gain for a really short girl?

I read in another thread to do the photo in underwear else you can't see proper proportions, so take your body shaming somewhere else.

I actually think you look nice compared to most of the girls. I was saying this to protect your intimacy ( wait, is this english? lol).

I do appreciate that, but I've blurred out my face so I'm not really fussed who sees this as they won't recognise me. I definitely need to get fitter if I were to go ahead with LL though, my exercise rate at the moment in non-existent!

5'2 isn't really short for a girl, just short. Read the title and expected you to be 4'7.
Anyway, femurs.
