Hey everyone I am new to this forum and wanted to get your opinion on weather I should go with a LL or not. I am 174cm or 5’8.5” I weight 195lbs alit if the weight is in my thighs I have larger than average thigs(mostly muscle) and muscular upper body as well. I am looking to potentially add 3-4 inches I want to be 6’. I am looking to do this within one or two years. What advice do you have me? Where do I begin? Which doctors should I consider what will be the cost of this surgery, what are the complications are there any long term effects? Which country is the best to do it ? I am not looking to spend more than $30,000 I will include some pics of my self let me know if 4 inches would look good on me in the femur. My main concerns are long term side effects, possible complications And also proportionality I don’t want to add 4 inches to my height if I’m going to look weird or out of place, I would rather just stay 174cm.

A lot of people who do tibias get monster calves afterword due to the increased biomechanical requirement for movement.  A muscular guy like you might like that look.  Although the people I've seen that happen to were all kind of skinny before; I'm not sure if your calves are already maxed out.  You might ask a doctor about that.

You'll have to get it done in a poorer country using external fixators if your budget is $30,000.  Maybe Dr. Pili in Italy or one of the Russian or Indian doctors would be good for you.  Check the doctors directory on this board to choose someone in your price range and then do research on him.

I believe Dr. Donghoon Lee offers LON for <$30000.

From the pictures it looks like you might have short legs so I would not think lengthening a lot would be huge.
