Hi everyone. I joined old forum about two years ago, but I haven't posted there in ages. I'm currently saving up money to undergo a bowl-leg correction first. I am considering Dr. Mahboubian but I will research on the negative stories that people claim.
I'd go straight into LL but I do a lot of hard physically demanding sports and full contact martial arts. Actually, the bowl-leg correction is more for health reasons than height gain (although that is a nice secondary factor). I actually suffer from chronic knee pain, on the inside of my knee joints, particularly my right one after a lot of physical activity that stresses that area.
My height is around 163cm, 167.5-168cm wingspan, of East Asian descent. After getting my surgery, I will then consider whether I will do LL in the future or not. If I proceed, my goal would be a mere 4-5cm, as I really don't want to negatively impact my physical activities in the future.
Ultimately, my health and peace of mind is more important. Still, it is looking like a definite possibility (unless something makes me completely change my mind) in the future. I think LL is a wonderful tool for people with the "short end" of the genetic stick. I'm very happy to have discovered this forum, old forum seems to have way too much drama for my liking. :/
