Hello everyone I haven't heard of much concern for shoulders and/or overall body "width" for lack of a better word. One of the things that makes height so valuable to men is that it's crucial in building a manly frame that looks good and has a certain presence. I think, however, that it can be detremental to be tall with a narrow build i.e a thin body with small, narrow shoulders and short arms but I haven't seen much concern for how well a patient will "carry" his new height.
LL patients will obviously be smaller than a naturally tall man: smaller hands, feet, head, torso etc. I know the upper body can be built but only to a certain extent and so I wonder is this not an issue?
As we know wide shoulders and a strong neck will give much illusion of stature while a tall but lanky man will not have a very attractive body type. Maybe this isn't much of a problem I don't know much about shoulder width but I would assume it correlates with height, my father is roughly 8 cm taller than me and has much wider shoulders, it may be hat I haven't "filled out" yet as they say but I still doubt my frame will be as big. Does this worry anyone else or can it be solved by building the shoulder muscles?

Guess I'm unfortunate in that regard my hands, feet and overall frame is still smaller than my dad. Did any of you grow into your bodytype/build till 20-21 or have you been the same since 19?

Hold on so you've lenghtened 12 cm above your original height?
If I got that right you look great mate and I've got little to worry about. It could even be a slight aestethic perk for us ll patients as our hipbones should be shorter than our naturally taller peers so we can get that V-look with more easy.
