Will this surgery ever be accepted by the majority

Edit Post

why do people have such a problem with this surgery if it makes someone feel better about themselves what is the problem. Women get breast implants to look better and no one cares if they do l, it's considered ok. People get sex changes and people don't mind it (I'm not comparing a sex change to LL I'm just using it as an example) my point is if someone is unhappy about themselves why shouldn't they have the right to change themselves.

When I was saying accepted what I meant was accepted among the celebrity world they would be furious if someone did it but they don't have a problem with the likes of the kardashians getting surgery on their faces,ass,breast and even their lips this is what I meant like with is LL seriously frowned upon but this isn't it makes no sense sure your breaking legs to be taller but I'm sure the kardashians have done more damage to their bodies then 1 or 2 LL surgeries will do to a single human.

Quote from: The Dreamer on September 13, 2017, 03:25:03 PMI don't think so.LL is way more dangerous than nose job,breast implant and any other cosmetic surgery.

i didn't explain what i said clear enough sorry what i meant to say was the amount of times they have done something like that once for all those type of surgeries is ok but the amount of times they have done it surly there bodies must be damaged. with a jaw reconstruction surgery and other things like that.

that being said if you went to a good doctor for all these and the doctor said what the limit was based on your body for LL wouldn't you be able to walk normally after the surgery is complete an when i say a good doctor i mean the ones who charge like 100k on it like paley.

the reason i bring this up is because when see celebs getting nose jobs etc and so on i think clearly they have went for an experienced doctor to do it so it is done right. The point i am making is any surgery can be a dangerous procedure if it is handled by a bad doctor same with LL if it is a confident good doctor then won't the surgery be a success obviously it comes down to the patients will to walk and so on with LL.

hey please don't think i'm sounding bad here but what doctor did you see and do you think if you had of had like 2 surgeries for example done like 4 cm tibia and 4 cm femur do you think you would look more proportional also how long have you had this done are you a recently complete LL patient or have you been like that for a few years also isn't it true that the safe limit on this is 6cm per segment again please don't take offence or think i'm being rude or sound like a jerk if i came across that way it really wasn't intentional.

true but that being said do you think this statement is true i saw this on another topic in the forum a few weeks ago the person said if the person doing the LL surgery is naturally tall like 5'11 then their body would be more better suited for LL simply because they have a longer torso, legs and wingspan then say someone who is 5'7 or 5'8 also if the everything does go right with the sergury is the only real thing you lose an athletic ability lets say you have a 100% athletic ability then would you probably end up with like a 60-70% athletic ability after it also is it true that the safe limit is 6cm per segment for best recovery

Quote from: IwannaBeTaller on September 13, 2017, 06:24:20 PMThat's not true. Taller people can generally lengthen more than shorter people, with the amount varying. It would be more suitable to compare leg lenghts instead of total body heights for that. However, it still can't be said that a 5'11'' person is more suited to undergo LL than a 5'7'' person. For example, for lengthening 4 cm on the tibia, or 5 on the femur, there won't be much difference between the two people.

The safe limit for tibia is also more like 4.5-5 cms instead of 6 cms. It's very possible that even a 5'11'' candidate will have trouble with 6 centimetres, or at least the risk for that is high.

so are you saying that if say someone who is 5'8 and someone who is 5'11 have the same leg length like inseam are both 30 i only use this number because that's what mine is at 5'10 then the length they could lengthen would be the same

Quote from: onemorefoot on September 13, 2017, 06:45:47 PMYes, but what about the people that are better in terms of height, should I feel anger about them? Bad Luck is a real bitch, but there is always a solution

i understand where the other guy is coming from although i can understand where you are also coming from look at me for example i have 3 brothers and all of them are well over 6'0 my oldest brother is 6'4 my 2nd oldest is 6'4 aswell my younger brother is 6'3 maybe 6'4 now and then you have me at 5'10 honestly it ain't fair espacally when my dad is 6'1 and my mom is 5'9

Quote from: The Dreamer on September 13, 2017, 07:28:43 PMI think that those are quite different things.Being forced to stay for all your life in wheelchair because Nature gave you a faulty genetic is way worse than being short.When you are short you can still walk,do sports and have an acceptable life.When you are disabled in a wheelchair for all your life you are condemned.
However those are my consciousness debates,i don't want to involve all of you or to say don't do LL

I fully understand where you are coming from on this i really do but if it isn't me or the people in this forum doing LL someone else will at some point a big name person IE celebrity will do it and then it will be like all those other surgeries that have just become the normal thing in todays world on one hand its annoying on the other hand its really a gift for people who have really bad insecurities with their height.

Quote from: FDR101 on September 13, 2017, 07:54:14 PMI don't really think it is "acceptable" for heterosxxual males to get any cosmetic surgery at the moment.

It signals insecurity and this is frowned upon. With regard to LL it is seen as very negative, because you are losing a pair of healthy legs to something which will end up giving you 2-4 inches more and reduced athleticism or wheelchair for life.

Factor in that women don't like this because they are attracted to "good genetics" which height signals, so if a guy gets LL, their biological instinct is that they are getting cheated as they might get "inferior genetics" without knowing it. Plus you have naturally tall men who feel like shorter people can "steal" their positive traits.

Then add to the fact that society really does not want to accept the fact that short males are frowned upon for something they have no control over, as you risk losing a major part of your workforce, basically destroying society and you have a perfect coktail as to why LL is probably the most hated cosmetic surgery out there.

that isn't really true look at me for example i have 3 brothers who are all like 6'4 true one of them is like 6'3-6'4 but either way they are all around the same height then you have me at like 5'10 yea i am a bit smaller but my dad is 6'1 and my mom is 5'9 so if i have a kid for all we know he or she could inherit the genes from my dad or my brothers and end up at 6'1-6'4 because it is in the genes i know someone who's patients are like 5'7 and 5'4 and they ended up at 6'2 small people could have tall genes in their family that they didn't inherit but could pass on to their offspring so it dosen't always mean a woman is being cheated

That's true I think the more it becomes known the better the results and technology involved in this surgery will be because more people will probably be doing it.
