Title: Heel lengthening - Possible to have at least 2-4cm more height
Post by: Hatch on April 23, 2025, 11:11:52 PM

Does anyone know more about heel lengthening? Possible to have more height 2-4cm, in some cases even 6cm.

You can use hyaluronic acid which is injected to your heels. New height last 12-18 months. Also its possible to choose polyacrylamide that last (lifetime?)

One operation cost from 2000$ to 2400$ . And you can have 2cm height in one single operation.

At least this clinic performs operation: https://www.doctorabarba.com/hombre/tratamiento-corporal-para-el-hombre/aumento-estatura-sin-cirugia-acido-hialuronico.html#

is there other clinics and has anyone gone through this operation?

edit:

In this study no height decrease in 12 months. So the effect might last way longer than 12 months. Maybe even years.

Ive read into this topic before and the reason people don’t just use foot implants for height is because the whole body would be standing on it meaning it would just be a matter of time before rupture. Foot implants allowing any noticeable height increase would probably be very uncomfortable and painful. It would also make your foot weird ugly looking and difficult to fit into a shoe. There are no replacements for LL surgery.

These are just injections. HA injections are used as filler and in joints as lubricants, but to add height? They make a 6cm fluid bubble on your heel and you could stand on it? I don’t buy it man man.

Personally I think that heel and foot looks ok after 1,7cm increase.

Also: "The patient expressed high satisfaction with the aesthetic results and improved self confidence"

Oh I see, I guess it is possible for small height increases. I still seriously doubt its integrity past 2cm, definitely not 6cm.
