Hello,


First off, I apologize for my ignorance.


I am having trouble wrapping my head around how someone with an average income like me could ever afford to finance this. My credit is average but I couldn't ever borrow near as much given the gap between the max amount I've ever borrowed vs getting the full amount of the surgery done safely in the US. I do not have living or functioning parents / family members that could cosign me. My only hope is to very, very slowly build my credit over time and get a better job, but seeing as I'm 4 ft 10, it sounds like such a long wait when my life is already so difficult being the heigth I am. 

So, how did you personally do it?

If you own your home borrow against your equity. Do you have any retirement savings? Borrow against that.

Are you male or female? If you're a male 4'10 is short enough where you could be classified as disabled and get gov to help pay in countries that have universal health care. There are also cheap external tibias as an option. What country are you in?

i worked an invested my money for quite awhile to have money. mostly in cryptocurrency. the wait was long in investing. i had to wait long time before i had free time until i can do it. most times parents give u the money to do it. with interest rates so high now it would cost a lot more than it did 3 yrs ago. i had low apr credit card that had help me with addtional money i needed to get through before going. also i went overseas to do it rather do it in the us. i can imagine the us will have less pain though. or even precise nail.

female at birth, but closeted transmale due to height. so i wouldn't qualify. I'd have to be an inch shorter.

still young and not a home owner yet, and my retirement account is only a few years old so there's not much there. but good advice for the future! thanks

Im 4'11 and my health plan is gonna pay for all of LON on femurs.

Otherwise i'd have to pay around USD 35k

I've got 46cm femurs and im hoping to get +6cm at best

You got long femurs for your height. You probably have long legs. It's a complement.

If you are 4'10", you will never gain enough height through Limb Lengthening to not be seen as short. 6cm on femurs, or 2.3 inches, will make you 5'0" and a hair. You will not be able to fix your height dysphoria through Limb Lengthening.

You will always be seen as being comically short, so do not transition to being a man. Limb Lengthening will not help you. Whatever perceived difficulties you have as female-presenting will be nothing compared to how the world will treat you if you transition to male and get LL to become 5'0". Do not do it.

Men that are 5'0" are living hell on earth. Do not do it.

People are doing 11cm on both femur and tibias. If u want the ultimate. I've watch alot of YouTube videos but really I wouldn't think of it.

I don't agree with the guy who said don't transition because leg lengthening can't make you average height. I'm a transguy as well and I know from experience there is nothing more excruciating in this world, including ridicule for height or appearance, than living as a female when you're trans. Your transness and whether or not you have surgeries to reduce gender euphoria are unrelated. Having or not having average stature as a male doesn't change your transness. Yes it's unfair and it's fking frustrating that some people just happened to have average male height despite being born female. But again, that didn't determine if they were trans or not. From brother to brother, I hope for the best for you. I know it's hard, but take pride in your transness. Whether you come out or pursue transition is up to you. However, there is no better feeling in the world than telling the world to go fk itself and living a life you feel most comfortable as.

Transition or not, going from 4'10" to 5'0" (2 inches) will provide no benefit to you even if you remain a woman. It's pointless. You are still below average height woman or not.
