To the people who actually did LL on femurs and got 7-8 cm

If you're 183 starting, I would highly advise not doing this.  Even with quadrilateral.

I assume you are talking to me. Please use the quote-function in the future.

Apparently I really have to defend my choice for becoming taller. Why would you "highly advise not doing this"? You would probably say that I already am at a good height and so on.

My reasons for LL is that I want to be taller, simply put. I have a quite long torso compared to my legs. I also know that I would highly advantage from LL. Going from 183 cm to 193 cm makes a huge difference. I would also look much better and proportional with a little bit longer legs. For me, 193 cm is a good height. It's tall, but it's not too tall. It is a very ideal height that I would and will look good in.

Another good thing doing this procedure with a higher starting height is that the recovery process will be much easier, since the percentage of the bones being lengthened is kept well under the safe-limit (20 %).

Cool. Than go ahead and do it

8cm is fine for daily life and you won't notice a difference there. However, I think I'd have recovered better athletically if I did 6cm. I can still play all the sports I enjoy though, so it's not a big deal for me.
