Realistic height gain for a really short girl?

Edit Post

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!

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?

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 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!

Anyway, femurs.

I guess it depends on where you're from, I have never met anyone my age that was my size or shorter and thanks! are femurs better to get internal or external?

Quote from: YourSpaceBoyfriend on July 29, 2016, 09:44:27 PMIdk where are you living but im in the middle europe tall country and i met tons of girls your height. I even checked the height table and you are in 15-20 percentage.


External femurs are really painful, if you can afford internals that is your way to go.

Please send them my way, I don't remember the last time I was at eye-level with someone that wasn't a kid! and sweet, I'll look into that. I would have thought tibias would have been better proportion wise, but I'm unsure now what with everyone commenting femurs!

Okay, I get it. I'm not as short as you were expecting, but where I live that is considered really short for my age. I'm wondering why I even bothered posting here now, I was hoping for more understanding and helpful responses.

Quote from: YourSpaceBoyfriend on July 29, 2016, 10:15:42 PMWe understand your urge to get taller but you can't claim something that you aren't. Tbh i dont even know which country you are from.

We already got someone(5'9 guy) that claimed everybody in australia is 6 foot so people tent to question others.

You'd think I was claiming something much more ridiculous from how you're talking! Just ignore the "really" in the title then if it annoys you that much. As you said, you don't even know where I'm from so stop jumping to conclusions. I'm just here for advice and suggestions regarding LL.

Here it is classed as very short, but thanks.

I would kill to be that haha, every inch matters! Sadly I'm smaller than that and below average, but I do like only having to pay child fares on trains
