When is LL worth it?

Quote from: LLSouthAmerica on July 14, 2017, 04:05:43 AMWhat I mean is that people might get unrealistic expectations. You cannot say LL will "much benefit" because it may cause permanent problems and reduce athletism in exchange for physical appearance. A scrawny 5'10 guy needs to bulk for what? If he is considering LL because he thinks it will make him alpha, he needs a psychiatrist, not a gym. So a lot of people are unhappy with their height I know I would even if I were 5'8 - 5'10, but would I submit myself to a dangerous surgery or recommend it to someone as a great idea that will MUCH help? Of course not.

I agree, we need to be more careful about the way we give advice. We might be here to cheer them on for all the right reasons but (God forbid) if they end up cripple, our encouraging words won't be able to make it better. Everyone should be warned that these opinions are only that; just opinions.

I'll be doing 5.2 cm with Dr Pili. I'll be doing externals since I don't want permanent knee pain

Have you decided when?

I'm 5'5.5 and want to become 5'8, even if I already have long legs, around 48% of body height.

I also want to do it for at max 15k dollars in south america.

I'm thinking next year. The only issue is that if I do externals with Pili I will be out 6 months before walking normal again. That's time missed from work that I'm not even sure they would give me.

But I'm thinking of starting my own copy writing business and eventually pull 5 figures per month. That's ideal situation since I can do copywriting from home. That's the plan but then again nothing ever goes according to plan :/

After Unicorns case I am scared of internal nails, I might go for the external way, Will you be staying in Milan during the entire time or just for the lengthening?

I would be staying just for the lengthening phase.

However, does anyone here have more info on the pros and cons of externals?

And is 6 months to walk normal again without crutches too optimistic?

Both are bad. Problems with internals are . With externals too. But they are cheaper.
