so I'm around 169cm, maybe 170 morning on a good day
I currently plan to get 6cm femur lengthening. I'll get minimum 5, as I want to be at least 174.
But personally 180+ has always been my dream height. Even something slightly lower, like 178 or 179, since I'd be 180 with most shoes. Which leads me to the question: would it be a good decision to get an additional 3-4 cm tibia?
I'm not 100% insistent on this, it'd just be nice and make me the happiest personally, but I'd still be around average at 175 and can always just wear high shoes or something.
But athleticism is very important to me, swimming, hiking, combat sports, are all hobbies of mine. Explosivity is important to me. Of course, I know I'll never be the same after surgery, let alone two, but I'd like to still maintain 90-95% athleticism and enjoy these hobbies without complication
That being said overall: is it a good idea for me to go with the additional tibia lengthening? Or should I just stick to the 6 cm femur. It could be a good idea to get my first surgery and wait, but if I opt for two surgeries, I could get less femur to compensate: so, say 4-5 femur instead of 5-6, since I'd still be growing ~8cm overall as opposed to 5 or 6
