Complete recovery is never likely if you break your bones. Psychologically speaking, you would now that your legs are not the same anymore. For example, football stars, when they break their legs or get a sever injury, they very very rarely return at the same level. Leo Messi and Cristiano CRonnie7 have been extraordinarily lucky not to suffer a major injury such as bone breakage or muscle tear. Most major football stars have never suffered such injury. On the other hand, when the Brazilian CRonnie7 started having problems, well his career failed.
With that being said, based on what I ve read in here, 6, 7, and even 8 cm would be possible to recover to the extent to which one can walk normally, does not have pain, and even play tennis/football at an OK level, albeit worse than before.
What do you guys think, can I lengthen 3-4 cm and recover completely?

I think it's self-explanatory really. Or could you be a bit more concrete?
Quote from: Peaceout on January 07, 2016, 10:07:30 AMI meant what you dont like about your body when you try 5 -6-7 cms.Your upper body?your arms?your femur/tibia proportions?
Because i still insist 3 cm is not worth
It's not really necessary to get specific, I will say that the effect can be mitigated by building muscle. Besides i'd rather be 181-182 and more proportionate than 183-184 and less.
My starting proportions are also unfortunate, small wingspan, normal inseam and thin build. I also place a lot more value on looks than I think anyone else on this forum and I'm a bit obsessive about it I guess.

Uppland, everyone can agree that 3cm is just too neurotic and nitpicky.. Don't do the surgery if it bothers you that much.
Also, I think now is the perfect time to clear something up. As everyone is already aware, wingspan is a measurement of your arms AND your back. You've made it clear that your small wingspan is a result of your small back. You're afraid of how you're arms will look based on a number that is only a partial indicator to how your arms really look on your body. Anyone can gain 5cm and look great. Not just okay, but great! Completely normal.
I want to ask; are you just trying to seek attention? You keep making threads asking people what to expect when you are one of the most longest standing members here. You know what to expect, you know what recovery should be like after 3-4cm.. There's nothing left for you to ask that you haven't already been exposed to in your time on this board. The only thing left to do is just decide. If you can't make up your mind, then get mock-ups done because there is really nothing left for you to discover at this point. It baffles me that you haven't already done mock-ups if you're really that serious about proportions.

Whats your wingspan?
Quote from: Uppland on January 07, 2016, 08:46:26 AMI don't really lack anything material, guess I would invest it.
You genuinely don't believe that you'd be better off with +60k in the bank and the ability to put in 2 years of hard work at the gym, compared to +3cm of height and being crippled for the same amount of time? Really?
I have a suggestion by the way. If you're worried about your wing span because of your back, why not spend a year getting yourself into optimum shape. Build a broader back. It will take at least a year of solid work. Then you will be ready for LL if it's still needed.

Training your back and shoulders doesn't affect wingspan. It's a bone structure thing... thought I'd blurt it out before Uppland does haha

For sure, you're limited by your frame - but you can still make a difference. Even if it's an illusion.
You guys think I should refrain from it all then?
Perhaps that would be best, I would have liked a small gain, a relatively quich recovery and then to forget about the ordeal but I suppose that might be unrealistic. I would spend the money if I had it that doesn't concern me much, however my health and my time I consider almost priceless.
