Im 165 i wanna add 4cm at femur, goal its only (169) and with shoes (171-172) . I dont wanna add more because risk
Do you think this 4cm safe ? I can return to sport again?(even just 80%)
(Sorry my english its little) thank you

4 cm on femurs is a conservative goal, but no surgery is guaranteed safe. You need to discuss this with your doctor, but you can probably safely reach 6 cm.

As for sports, it depends on the person and the sport. Golf, sure. Football, maybe not.

1,65cm is a pretty good height for a men

[Body Builder]

If you are a woman, then 1.65 is an excellent height and it is stupid to do LL.
If youbare a man, 1.65 is a bad height and so is 1.69 so breaking your bones for staying short while you can lengthen 2-3 cm more and become about average, is stupid too.

So in both cases avoid LL or lengthen more if you are a man.
4cm compared to 6 have no real difference for femurs in terms of risks, even 7cm are not very risky.

[Bander72]

Its an especially bad investment on femur because you will have to pay a lot more. With tibia you can go to good doctors for 20k but with femur it is more than double that at least. So its better to do tibia first and then see if you want to lengthen more.

He could live in an Asian country where 168~170cm is the average. 4cm wouldn't be bad there. But there's really no reason to go for just 4cm on femurs.

So you’re pretending to be a specialist on investing? If so your doing a terrible job. Get a life hobo

He might not want to start a new life in a Asian country. I agree that he should not do just 4 cm in the femur.

I agree with this,better to do first tibias and then femurs if someone wants more

[Knik]

4cm is ok, but even at 2cm there is risks
and yes, you should make at least 5cm to reach the 170

[koko]

Thank you for your opinions guys
i decided 4cm because i think its better than 5 or 7 (for risk). And 4cm its enough for me .i dont wanna only to be too short.
Im scared just about problems and ability (of walk,run,jump..) after surgery
+ i feel bad everyday with my height

I don't think that you won't feel bad at 1.69, especially after about a year you finish LL and get used to your new height.
But it is your choice. I just wanted to warn you as I don't even feel completely ok with my height and I am 1.74-5, although when I was 1.68 I thought that at 1.75 I'd have been very happy. After 1-2 years with my new height I got used to it and I saw that it is not enough for me.
So I really doubt if 1.69 would make an 1.65 man feel ok with his height or he'll regret about lengthening so little. I am almost sure about the second but you know better.

[Knik]

there is not much risk by doing 5cm rather than 4, I advice you to go for 5cm.

[koko]

@Body Builder
Thank you man for your care
I will explain more to you , i will be satisfied with 4cm and i'm sure.  Because i care about my health after surgery more than how much i will add 4 or 5 or..
In my country 171-172 its normal not too short
My purpose is ( only not be too short+return to normal life after surgery)

(And 169 without shoes but with shoes 171 or even 173)

[myloginacct]

He might not want to start a new life in a Asian country. I agree that he should not do just 4 cm in the femur.

I worded it poorly. I meant he might already be from a country like that.

If you are OK with 4 cm then go for it. It is much more safe than pushing your body to get 6 or 7 cm.

And going from 165 cm to 169 cm is a huge improvement.

Thank you bro this is good news from you

I agree with this comment from Body Builder

It is not.
4 cm is no serious improvement to any height, moreover to 1.65 for a man.

But Koko seems sure that 4 cm are ok for him so I don't want to disagree with him because he knows better what he wants about himself.
I suggest though to do at least do 5cm to reach 1.70, there is no difference in terms of risks between 4 and 5 cm and the closer you are to average the better you'll feel.
But thats just my 2 cents. I wish you a smooth LL journey.

[Bander72]

Every cm counts but it makes no sense to do 4 cm on femur when it is a lot more expensive. Do tibia first if you insist on 4 cm.

[Andy]

To all of you who "agree" or "disagree"... I say respect and don't judge other people's goals, feelings, thoughts and reasoning based on your feelings and perspective... If someone says 4cm is ok, just accept it! My best wishes to you all

[dean9191]

well he asked for others opinion

[Thatdude950]

Snapping your legs in half, stretching out your muscles and relying on your body to adequately regenerate new bone in the gap is not safe under any circumstances

[jojo]

Guys, when People say what They want for Them self this site should not be about telling People how stupid They Are.

Its like going to a breast implant forum and start telling girls They should get at least double D's Lol xD

I know this is alot more invasive. But we cant get around the fact that less cm is safer?
If a person did 1 cm ( fictional) it would me almost like a normal broken bone i guss.

Anyways, bless to everyone. No matter there Goals. And Best safefy for all.

BTW who is the last person to have Big problems? Unicorn and Music maker ?

[yagen]

If you are happy with 4cm, it is a safe goal. I have seen a lot of people smaller than me and they don't have any height phobia.

Maybe you can feel happy if you have 1 million USD, other people don't feel happy with 10M USD.

happiness is inside us.

Good luck

You know, experts say that lengthening of the legs is to fill the gap we have internally rather than what we lack externally.

From your comments, it seems that you really do have a problem internally. Just like women who are addicted to plastic surgery.

Since you are a body builder and does your LL as well, your satisfaction in yourself seems to come from skin deep. I bet that you have a dysfunctional family or is badly hurt by a woman before. No offence at all, just a guess.

The only problem I have is that I am not ok with my height. And that only has to do with how women see men less than average height, as I really like how I look regardless of that.

I am not addicted to plastic surgery that's why I discourage people above average to do LL and anyone (except midgets) to do arm lengthening. So your conclusions are far from real but it doesn't really matter as you don't know me personally.

My opinion in that topic has to do from my expierience and I can guarantee that 6cm have a little to almost not at all difference in the overall rehabilitation compared to 6cm and that also 4cm are so few that almost none will perceive you as taller. If someone is ok to be seen after LL the same as before LL then it is ok, but any sane person would like to be and seem taller after LL and 3-4 cm are not enough for that.

End of discussion for me.
