Greetings to everyone.
I'm new at the forums although I've been searching limb lengthening for 2 years,
and been aware of this forum for 6 months.

I finally decided to create a membership, and share my desires to you all.
I know there are a lot of experienced people, that's the reason why I'm here.

I'm 18 years old, stopped growing as a doctor has claimed, and has not been growing for the past 2.5 years.
I want to lengthen both segments of my each leg, I want to go under 5 centimeters for tibias, and another 5 for femurs.
Does it make any sense, I know the measurements I desire are scientifically SAFE, but I want to hear about people's experiences.
Has anyone ever done 2 surgeries ? Can you please enlighten me about this?

Best Regards.

So 185 - 174 = 11 not 10

Yes, a number of people here have done both segments, myself included.  If that is what you want to do, I advise that you do them in separate years.  This is pushing the limits and that gives your muscles a chance to catch up.  Also, considering stretching your hamstrings, calves, and other such muscles extensively because they can be a problem when you want higher amounts of growth.

Hello Sir,
Thanks for your reply

I know this question is controversial but I still feel the need of asking it to you.
Are you able to run, and do extreme stuff?
Are your legs as powerful as they used to be back before you've got the surgery done?

Also another thing:
Do you think 174cm wingspan could pull 184-185 cm off?

Best Regards.

And also, unfortunately I've forgotten to mention.
I think going for 4 cm on tibias, and 6-7 cm on femurs would be an excellent choice for safety!

What do you think about it?

You can do extreme stuff and run after a solid amount of years, by extreme I mean like skiing or snowboarding or skydiving, but your athletic ability will never return to what it is in the past. It is a sacrifice one has to make to pursue height.

Obviously if you were never really active or athletic anyway and you do LL you could very well supercede your pasts athletically with training, but assuming you were very good and actually trained hard at tennis or something before LL, you will never go back to pre LL levels

4+6 sounds fine, a year apart, don't do them at the same time

Thank you for your reply,

Do you think we could be able to bend our knees as good as we could after having 2 seperated surgeries?
I think this question is kind of sketchy, but still, I think 2 surgeries would not allow you to do that.
I don't even know if it's possible to be able to run like a normal human being after having 2 surgeries.

Also could you please give me your opinions about the wingspan?


Do you think 174cm wingspan could pull 6'1 off ?

[ghkid2019]

Unfortunately I do think you should get an arm lengthening if you care about proportions and want to get to 185cm. An 11cm difference between height and wingspan is no joke. If you don't care then that's good too. Ideally 7 or 8cm more height than wingspan looks kinda okay still, any more and it starts too look very weird.

I'm pretty sure I've seen most people recover their knee flexion completely after recovering, and biomechanically running probably looks weird temporarily until you fully recover everything cuz alot of muscles affected, so like maybe 2 or 3 years after you'll be able to run normal, but can run weirdly earlier

Hello again,

I'd like to mention that when I stand on my toes against the mirror, my arms don't look too weird though.
I think I hit 182-3cm while standing on my toes, It's slightly shorter than It has to be but I think it does not look very weird IMO.

But I better see a Doc. and ask him his opinion.

Also, I'm not even pretty sure about my wingspan.
I tried to bend my arms 180 degrees to the wall and It was spotted pretty much as the same line as my height's dot that I marked with a pen.
(it was a long time ago.)

But now, I tried doing it and it looks like my wingspan is about 180cm or something.
But I'm pretty sure I failed doing the 180 degrees, I'll try again soon. I'll ask my parents I'f i'm doing it correctly and I'll see the result.

[a]

Well, actually I just measured.

I guess my wingspan is close to 180cm. I'm so glad.
I hope I did everything correctly though,
I sticked myself to the wall and opened my arms widely, then marked at the both ending of my middle fingers.

Then I measured the distance, it's like 178-180cm.
But the thing is, my lower arm is not tall I guess. My hands are HUGE. Literally the same hand as my 188cm friend.
So I guess it's kind of an disadvantage that my lower arm is not tall enough.

FYI, use the Modify button next time so you can put whatever you want to say into one comment, instead of 3 separate comments which creates spam. Noticed you been making like 3 comments in a row consecutively for no reason in your other threads as well.

Large hands are very very good, they give an illusion and can compensate for shorter wingspan. Your wingspan should be good to go for 185cm! Good luck

Thanks for the tips,

I know right, large hands are very good. But unfortunately I think that they are the things which make my wingspan high.
So I do think that my arms might not be as tall enough, maybe I think so because my hands are too big and I'm skinny as hell. So it might make my lower arm look small compared to my hand.
