wtf, doesnt he? many times i've heard that he does external femur lengthening and it's clearly said on his site. why u think he doesnt, man?

to be honest though, because you have a really good starting height and you said you have already been waiting 7 years...... do you really want to do 1 surgery and then wait another 7 years?

would 6cm on tibia only be enough? or you recon you would need a second surgery? how long do you think you would need to save for to afford both surgeries?


its amazing when you look back at when you first leant about LL and suddenly realize how many years have passed before you actually get LL.

yes now im thinking of lengthening just my tibias (5 - 5.5  cm + bowed leg correction) then recover and then decide if i need femur lengthening. Maybe crosslateral LL is actually bad idea for me. I am not sure if 183 cm height is worth breaking my legs and taking a year out of my life, though. Is it big difference to 177 cm?

I have really big head (have been suffering from it for all my life) so with becoming taller im going to make it look more proportional. I reckon 183 is still average height and people still tend to have average sized heads at this height. But 185-188 cm tall people tend to have bigger heads, in my opinion. Maybe im wrong, though.

If i go to St-Petersbur i will need like a couple of months to afford 1 surgery and couple of months for another one.
If i go to Bagirov then i need like a year to save up for 1 surgery

It shouldn't take a year to recover from 5 cm unless you are bad luck incarnate. For 5 cm, it will be between 5-7.5 months for externals and about 4-5 months internals.

183 is not average no matter where you are in the world.

where are you from anyway?

I recommend 6cm tibia. make it to 183 and be happy at that height.

LL is not suppose to take up your entire life spanning literally decades.

i mean not average, but not tall. it's just normal height. not average but not tall as well.

yes, it shouldn't, but from patients diaries i can say many ppl experience some complications during their lengthening and total time in frames is like a year for 5-6 cm


btw, guys, don't u think my tibias are long already? i look at my legs and cant decide which segment needs more length, i look totally proportional to myself now

Edit Post

it looks ugly or i am bad at making mock ups?

I call bull.

 176.2 cm is the official data for the average of Russia.

the big delusion of height neurosis is that people believe in a lie and think that the average is taller than it really is.


Stats: between 2006-2010 and for youth: age 20-30.

Edit Post

if you count all adults over 20 the average for Russia becomes 175.0 cm

If your head is 26 cm in height, then you lengthened 6.85 cm in your tibia only mockup and 8.6 cm in your tibia-femur mockup. I do pixel science.

Here's 5cm mockup.

i think i placed camera too low because my legs are too long in this photo what makes me ugly long legged freak in every mockup. i think this angle is better and reveals my real proportions better.
