its all relative to ur situation.. if ur 5'0 to 5'4 u want to do this to get to a so called 'normal height'.. when ur 5'5 to 5'8 its to be close to or around a male average height as it will drastically improve confidence with women..... anything above that will normally have to do with alpha male status.. u have a complex of being belittled by other males(often siblings).. i know in my situation i hated being belittled by the 6'2/6'3 guys that i was surrounded by all the time..  once u hit 5'9 majority of women wont find ur height a problem..

I think 7 cm can fit into a frame well, but it should be split 4cm femur, and 3cm tibia. This will keep you in proportion and your limbs will still be within normal variation. My knee height of 60cm after 6cm at 184cm is not possible naturally, and I really wish I went the route I am suggesting. Go with Dr Mitkovic and you can do both for $26000USD.

I'll never go monorail.  Theoretically yes, 3.2+4 or 4+5 is ideal but in RL 2 surgeries is a pita.  Not too many people can afford the time or have the patience to do both.

Are you planning to do femurs to even things out?

Quote from: Alittletooshort on July 06, 2015, 11:02:48 PM6 cm´s would be fine for me as well, being at 185 is very decent. 7,5cm´s sounds so tempting though, I think I could handle it proportion wise but the recovery is a little worrying.
The 1 cm shouldn´t make a difference though this can easily be accieved by a good posture, some strechting or slightly higher shoes.


185CM (at night) is certainly a decent height for a young adult, even here in in N. Europe it is respectable enough. Assuming good proportions, which is a must according to me, there can be no complaining really. Not sure we can gain that extra CM through stretching, maybe a few MM but i wouldn't count on it.

No, I am at the point in life where it doesn't matter to me.

Ok, you would have prefer to split the cm but still, how is life at 1m84?  Any significant positive changes?

No and yes. It feels good when I'm just standing there,  but if I have to do anything functional or athletic, I'm wishing I was the way I was before.

Not trough streching alone but 1cm is not even noticable, just stand slightly straighter than you used to and there is your extra cm.

I am now 180 or so. When I hanged out recently with a model friend (177 cm), I felt I was much taller than her. Interesting how a few CM can make you feel so much taller. If I were 178CM ++ I would not consider LL. That is the minimum height for runway models. But now, since I have already broke my legs, I am aiming for 180-182 CM.

IMO, for guys, above 180CM there is not much difference anymore. Its down to your face, physique and money. Many guys here say they are good looking, but when I saw their pics, it was not really good looking. Someone here posted about having a  fit and nice body, and nice butt, but when I saw, it was just a meaty or slightly chubby body.. not the lean-fit type.  It is interesting how people have inflated self-esteems under anonymous usernames.... I am sure some users here who are 180+ CM are lacking in other departments (eg, looks, money) and think that height is the issue, but it is not............ Above that height, height takes a backseat.

One of the most self-centred post I have ever read on this forim. Let me ask what is so special about you then? Runaway model, actress and print girl! Why do you need limb lengthening if you think your that special? What happened huh? Do you wish  to be extra extra skinny at 180? Like them thin logs who usually be on the front cover of magazines? Like a twig? Before judging others on how they look like, see the mirror first. Why are you having limb lengthening if you don't have issues with your appearance. I tell you one thing; modelling or showbiz is a sad career. Your looks will fade one day...
