I've measured my wingspan to 180 a couple of times but even 178 and 179.
I am only 180 on a very good day. I'm not 178 or 179, just like my wingspan.
I would soooooo like to be 5-6cm taller. That's like nothing, but it makes a world of difference.
Still undecided.

What factors are involved in your decision?
Mostly passing my wingspan. I'm equal right now.
I imagine 5cm doesn't do much regarding visual aspects.
But also sitting height is one enormous factor. ALL of my friends have taller sitting height than me, ALL of them(they were also all taller than me before)
If I become 5cm taller then I think it'll be FU when we sit down. I can't stretch like a jerk, I have to relax when I sit or else it'll look weird, more weird.
Other than that there is nothing holding me back.
I have an interview next Monday at the local flight school. If I pass I will start studying to become a pilot in September. Then I can't do it in 2 years.
sweden i think you have a nice height, im 165/166 in the morning , thats is a f**king bad height, i think that 70 per cent or more of girls are taller than me, having problems to date even im good looking and people made fun about my height. with 180 cm you are taller than most sweden girls. no one will think you are short even in sweden so i think there is no reason to do another surgery. you will lose your proportions and athletyc hability
Wow!
Posting that video right after those posts by Apo was pretty much the most epic burn I've ever seen since I started reading forums about LL. You delivered everything people have been asking him for, and then more. Beautifully "choreographed" video, I must say. 
Also, pretty much an excellent post-lengthening showoff with everything from proportions in business attire to underwear and your (well above average) level of athleticism.
Your wingspan makes you quite lucky. I think if it was naturally equal to your height (which is statistically more common), your arms would be approaching noticeably short. They're not so now. You look more "leggy" than most guys in the dress pants with your shirt tucked in and in some positions it's noticeable that your knees are a bit high up. So primarily I think you shouldn't lengthen any more with regards to our lower vs upper body proportions. You don't look freaky or anything now, bit I think you could cross a few thresholds if you did more.
Now, what this DOES say is that when a person lengthens over his wingspan, and even more than you have already in BOTH segments, they most likely WILL look like a weirdly small upper body walking on stilts like a spider. Even worse if the person doesn't have broad shoulders and a big upper body build. Ironically this applies to a lot of genetically skinny and small guys below 5'6" so they have to be even more careful with how much they lengthen.
A thought hit me today, that for a "cosmetic" surgery, this procedure has very few proper visual demonstrations of the results, even from surgeons wanting patients. Or in Apo's case, even people wanting to promote it. Pictures and videos are few and far between. We've collected some in the old thread about it here, and in my opinion many of these look visibly abnormal even with not that much lengthening. The only surgeon who's been posting videos is Donghoon, and they seem more focused on showing off function (running) than whole-body proportions. I think the fact that most people can't lengthen more than 6-7 cm before they start looking weird in one or more way is among the reasons for it. In almost all cases it's going to be a choice between height and proportions. And every body has their limit for what's going to look "freaky".
Anyway, thanks a lot for these videos!!
Sweden I have the sameish sitting height as you and I agree none of my friends over 5'10.5" have the same as me. Everyone on old forum kept saying that "yeah 50% Sitting height ratio is still good" when in reality, for European Caucasians, it simply isn't. 53% is ideal.
Inb4 "sitting height isn't accurate measure of upper body length". It is accurate enough and is used in the medical world as a far more efficient estimate of leg/body proportions than any other measurement. I guess it's just a 'coincidence' that every with sitting heights 2cm more than me have longer bodies than me by - gasp - 2cm roughly.
WTF did i just watch ? Nice videos, nice moves 
ok so after he took off his sweater
