The best advice I can give someone who thinks they'll look weird after LL...

Edit Post

maybe obama just like to wear high trousers like simon cowell

Edit Post

This is a tad strange to ask, but would anyone happen to know what Mr. Obama's pant inseam is?

Edit Post

Nah, he just wear his pants bit higher, just like simon cowell, his hand and torso vs leg ratio looks proportioned

Also my advice is get yourself some lifts, measure yourself, look in the mirror and ask yourself "Do I look okay or even GOOD with the boost?" The answer for me has always been a resounding yes! I've created my own ridiculously crazy lifts inside boots to get myself to about 5'10.5 and I look great vs my normal 5'7. I look actually natural at this height (maybe it has to do with my 5'10.75 wingspan, I'm not sure), but when I take off the shoes I look like my legs were sawed short or as if they never grew their full length... It's weird but I feel I look more normal and better with the extra height than without. Do the test yourself, adding 5 - 6 cms or maybe even more should not create crazy looking proportion issues for you. But judge it yourself; whenever you hit a point where it looks weird, set that as your stopping point.

Hey man I'm sorry to hear that :/ though there are a lot of people that have lengthened a bit over there wingspan and still looked fine, have you done any mockups? And there is arm lengthening too...

Hey thank you!! I've saved about $40k so far but I'm in the US, and the doctors here are sooooo expensive, so don't know whether I should save more of go with a foreign doctor and lengthen at home, hmmm....

For overseas, depends on what type of LL you're planning.

If you make 5 cm i think doctor salameh is very good option, because you can hide the device under trousers, and in five months more or less the device is smaller. He removes the bottom part the device. The contra is that you wear the device minimun 8 months. but the  pro it is you don't have problems in your knees. If you are planing 5,5 or 6 cm i think is better LON because the gap is bigger and the cosolidation period is bigger and you can have problems the shrink or fracture whithout internal nail.
I think the best options for LON OR LATN is doctor DOHOON LEE in seul. Ok the best options it would be PALEY,ROTzBRUCH,GUICHET,BETZ DOOHOON LEE. But Paley, Rotzbruch, guichet and betz are too expensive.
This is my opinión I am vacillating between dohoon lee and salameh.
