He says 5 8 and says he very short. I live in the bay area and have been to Berkeley where he says he lives and felt quite average there not short at all.

5.8 is not for sure very short anywhere in the world.
It is short only in Scandinavia or in the few other countries where average height is more than 5.11 but even there is not very short.

However I can't understand how someone who thinks that he is supershort is ok to do LL for only 4 or max 5cm.
I am 5.9 at morning, I consider myself about average height and still I wouldn't so another LL for only 4cm as my limit is at least 6cm or 5 if my body doesn't adapt at all at femur lengthening.
But I am very determined to gain 6 cm and my upper limit is 7cm.
So, how can someone who is shorter and thinks that he is very short is ok with only 4cm? If in his mind 1.72 is supershort, 1.76 is at max short so he wouldn't feel ok with only that imo.
I'm very curious.

Yeah I consider myself only below average needing a little more to be content. That is why I have been thinking of doing 4 cm but if things go very well and not much complication then I might push for the extra cm. I just think that with wearing lifts for years that it will be very painful for me doing tibia lengthening.

By the way body builder you have used more than one inch lifts when you were 5 6 correct? Did you feel that it made your tibia lengthening more painful because I'm worried about that.

I used to wear elevator shoes before LL which were about 2.5 inches tall.
Not a big difference compared to now where I wear 1 inch insoles and most of my shoes are about 1 inch tall on their own.

However I don't think it played any major role in tibia lengthening which for me was almost completely painless.

Quote from: MrHandsome on April 27, 2017, 02:49:25 PMHonestly when I wear my lifts I do well with girls but without them I get rejected 24/7. With the lifts on I am 5'11 and without them I am 5'8 (172cm).

I want to have a safe surgery so I am only going to do 4cm to 5cm. I am planning to have a consultation with Dr. Rozbruch.

Is there any reason why this 5cm difference is making a huge difference for me? Honestly without the lifts I am basically invisible to women and furthermore many of the girls are no longer interested in me after seeing me without the lifts. Even though there is only a 5cm difference, they are very attuned to height.
go for 6cm femurs, it will be a big diference

Did not see that he's going to rozburch. He'd be crazy to do less than 5 cm. Internal femur and done by a top doc like rozburch will be much easier to do 5-6 cm.

Do you think people would  notice if you do 2inches and you already using 2 inches shoes? In the end you will look 1inche taller ( 2 inches LL + 1 inch normal shoes) .... 2 inches could be nice since no one would really notice, so no need for crazy explanations, faster process, secure etc...

In my case I will use lifts after instead of second surgery so my boost would be apperant.
