This is going to be a long post but hopefully the community can give me some great ideas.
I did some height measuring over the past couple days:
I am currently 178.1 cm night height and 179.8 morning height. I usually stay at around 178.4 cm throughout the evening.
I also gained about 1cm stretching over several years of doing yoga. I remember when I was 23 I was only 177cm.
I have been wearing lifts since I was 21 and I just turned 30 so I am having a bit of a mid life crisis lol. I’ve kept it secret from everyone including my ex girlfriend who I dated for 4 years. I usually wear thick sneakers that give me 3.5 cm and then insert a 2.5cm lift. I wear two pairs of socks to give me a total of about 6.2cm added height. So when I have my shoes on I look to be about 184.3 night height. This height has worked well for me with girls, but I truly can’t enjoy life. I can go to the beach, walk around the house without wearing baggy pants and on tippy toes around other ppl. It’s actually quite miserable in that sense, since I used to love being by the ocean and swimming when I was younger.
Anyways I have been look to get LL. I know alot of ppl are going to on me and tell me to be happy at 178cm but honestly wearing these lifts for the last 9 years, as well as getting a lot more attention from woman (I’ve tried upwards of 184.5 cm and it helps but diminishing returns) I can’t leave this height.
I am looking to do 3.5-3.8 cm femurs with Paley. What do you all think? I have the money and a work a remote software job. I know the risks but I’m hoping with just doing this amount I can somewhat reduce these risks as well as get on with my life quicker.
At +3.5 I should be either 180.5-181.5 (depending on if that stretched height goes away). I feel like either of those are fine with me and will clear my height neurosis.
Talking with doctors I just don’t trust them, since part of their consultation is a pitch. How long do you all think it would take me to get walking fine after lengthening 3.5-3.8 cm conservatively? I do hit the gym frequently have a pretty strong upper body as well as do yoga about 3-4 times a week so I’m decently flexible.
Also if anyone has any other ideas for like a 1-2 cm gain (not stretching since I maxed that out) I would love to hear it and at 179.5ish might not even do LL as I can just “fake” 1-1.5 cm somehow.
Thank you all.
I mean everyone wears shoes but some people wear shoes with a 1cm heel height, 2cm heel height etc.
So by having thicker shoes I am “gaining” in that respect compared to my peers when I go out to pick up women.
Also, I do agree with what you are saying somewhat that the height increase is making me feel tall and more confident. But it’s not a 2cm though I don’t really think ur really doing the math correct it’s about 3cm which actually does make quite a difference.
That 3cm difference pushed me from about 50% percentile to about 75% percentile. That’s a pretty big jump.
So even with a gain of 3.5 cm I should not be walking before 6 months? As much as I feel like your post has both some great points it seems to be laced with anger and 6 months from what I read to walk seems like a very conversation estimate for 3.5 cm.
I’m asking for your advice and I appreciate you gave some great things to think about, but why does it have to be filled with so much hate and anger.
Thanks really appreciate your insight EndGame as well as 188cmdream.
No problem I might have just been reading it that way. I do really appreciate your advice and points, has made me really reflect if this surgery is worth it.
