Aren't u nice darlin
Unlike many of us here, he is actually short and completely entitled to have the surgery to gain the maximum amount, as BB said what he should aim is absolute height more than proportions and there is no limit to LL. I think in some countries he is considered a dwarf. Of course the more you lengthen the more you risk and there have been cases of paralysis and permanent nerve damage when going above 20 cm gain.

However if I were doing 2 LLs, I'd do 7 + 5.5 = 12.5cms = 5 inches. I wouldn't stretch both segments to the supposed maximum capacity. That's just my opinion. You can reach 5'6 in 2 surgeries, hopefully your proportions allow it. 5'6 is still short but a world away from 5'1.
^^this is the answer.
Also look up Iamready's diary. He did 11 CM.
My best advice is to look into Dr. Parihar for a safe and cheap way to do femurs and get 7 CM done. Penguin's diary is really good for that.
We have basically the same starting height.
I will go for the 6 inches.
Check out this thread.

As you can see, my proportions would look fine. I don't know about your specs, though.
Look for your sitting height, your wing span, your ape index before and after two LLs, and on the overall visual impression.
I too am at 5"1 (154cm) and around the same weight and understand what you are going through.
I'd like to get LL and will do both segments. I'm hoping to do 5cm Tibia + 7cm femur = 12cm (4.75in). I could stretch it and go further but I'd rather take the less risky option and go a little less. I know I'll be very happy at 5'5" cause I know how big a difference it makes just to wear 2" lifts.
Although, I haven't started saving yet as I have other priorities at the moment. I'm hoping to save over the next 2 years and will look at my options again then.
Quote from: Body Builder on August 04, 2017, 06:32:22 PMThere are no absolute limits in LL. Especially the 4 inches you mentioned as most people can do 5 without much problems. Both segments of course.
Hopefullytaller if you push it you can maybe go to 5.6, with about 2.75 inches on femurs and 2.25 on tibias.
It maybe look weird as you are short and your legs would look huge compared to your torso but still wih clothes you probably look ok and at the height you have what matters more is the absolute height, not proportions.
So if you are lucky and have good doctors maybe 5.6 will be possible. It is still short but normallly short, a huge difference comoare your current height.
I think he got the point, but just he is saying if you want to 'function normally' after the surgeries then 10cm are the limit, but if you don't care about your function(which you actually don't need to if you are not an athlete) then you can go over 10cm.
