This is for my own general interest, I have not had LL before as of this thread.

I wanna compile a list of all the differences between the two, here are ones I can come off the top of my head, please suggest more. For the sake of simplicity assume the two people are adult males and the same height (post op). I will refer to natural tall people as "natty's".

the natty has longer arms (unless the LLer lengthened his arms as well, but that's rare)
the natty has longer fingers
the natty has longer toes
the natty most likely has a longer neck
the natty most likely has bigger feet(?)
the LLer most likely has reduced muscle strength (varying depending on how much was lengthened and exercise)
the LLer most likely has had a huge self-esteem boost postop (based on journals on both LL forums)


It is a statistically proven fact that shorter people tend to live longer than taller people. Do LLer's gain the generally shorter lifespan of taller people from LL? What are other differences that these two men would have?

Taller men are proportionally bigger in every way, of course there are overlaps but statistically a taller man is also bigger in every dimension.


so they have bigger muscles? Bigger heads? Bigger hips? What are the consequences of being an LL tall person without having the bigger everything else?

Quote from: Infinity on December 02, 2015, 12:09:54 AMnattys won't appreciate and saviour their height as much as LLer would do What would be the differences between a naturally tall man vs an LL tall man?


agreedĀ  What would be the differences between a naturally tall man vs an LL tall man?
