1" gain?
« on: August 31, 2014, 12:23:17 AM »

Hello,

I'm considering getting ll done on me to reach my ideal height.
However, I am only 1" short of it. I would like to know from anyone around here
who has had LL, who would be the best doctor and how long would it take?
I'm 6'1-6'1.5" and would like to be 6'2-6'3".

I think it is insanity to do this for so little, but there was a guy here with paley who did an inch and was on his feet walking normally 2 weeks after lengthening finished.

Sure if you want to do it then external tibias would be the cheapest option and would give you a good chance of full recovery.

But i can confidently say that such a small difference at the height you are already at, would give you little to no benefit in terms of how people percieve you. But of course this surgery should primarily be done to be pleased with one self so yeah go for it if you really want it.

I suggest investing in a psychiatrist. Antidepressants should be able to cure your 'problem' just fine, they'd cost less and they're less dangerous and it also doesn't hurt, when you take them.

2" probably wouldn't either but it's the standard. I think 3" or more would but the bright side is that I could go and move on with my life sooner and probably cheaper. I just heard that anything more than 6'2" would diminish returns from women but what do I know?

Psychiatrists do not help patients they worsen them. I'd be better off doing nothing if that be the case.

Why don't you just break your legs yourself at home and watch them grow together again. In that way you'll be a little bit taller.

A 6'1 guy wants to be an inch taller........ Please kill yourself for the sake of humanity.

It would be better to just buy small lifts for social occasions where you want that extra boost.

Dont usually agree with such things but I will this time. If you are thinking about LL to gain 1 inch then you are mad, more mad than most of us here who are genuinely thinking about breaking our legs to be average. You are already well above average, save your money and live your life. And if push comes to shove, invest in some cheap lifts, try Ebay, problem solved

Even I regard this as either trolling or delusion. For an inch at that height, just wear lifts....

I honestly think that wanting to be taller at 6'0"or 6'1" is understandable. It's extremely common to see people taller than you at those heights. I see far too many men that tower over me in my day to day life. But lifts will cause back trouble so it's probably better to wear elevator shoes. They're are people on the old forum old forum  (which I also believe to be corrupt) that are 6'0" + getting ll.

I agree that the height is very common (now being at it), but by no means do I ever feel short like I did on a daily basis before. So this has definitely been a huge success for me mentally. I totally get how you can feel frustrated every time you stand beside a 6'2+ plus guy-- I was especially frustrated at this reality since I felt that my investment deserved more return, but you have to put things in perspective. There will always be taller people than you. You're in the range of taller heights already, so this probably wouldn't be advisable for you. If you want to do it, do at least 5cm, and go with a surgeon like Parihar.

Yeah, there seems to be a bottleneck occurring around the average height range. Guys that are under average become average after LL, and those who were average naturally may feel cheated or offended by that. If more 6ft-6ft1 guys start feeling that their manliness is becoming jeopardized they too may start frequenting the site. Remember it's all relative, and no one can ever win in this game.

For some of those taller guys height was their trump card, even if a guy was better than them by every other metric he could quickly be put back in his place by calling him a 'manlet'. With LL that advantage
can be taken away.

For the OP if it makes you happy do 1 inch but only if you have all other aspects of your life covered. Career/relationships/finances. As you are not getting s**t about your height as you are above average you'd get a higher roi if you worked on those other aspects before LL.

If money were not a factor and I was offered the opportunity of Precise with a competent surgeon, I'd do another 7cm on femurs in a heartbeat. It's naive and ignorant to say there's no benefit from jumping up to 6'2 from 6'0.

 It's easy to feel the will to do it, but once you've endured it once then that image, though it does diminish with time, acts a reminder how arduous and risky this whole thing is. It's something that needs to consume you on a daily basis to actually commit to it.

To be honest, I wouldn't care if I saw someone taller than me at 6'2". I see 6'0-6'2" very frequently amongst caucasian males. I know 6'3" and 6'4" isn't rare however, it's significantly less common than 6'0"-6'2". I'll probably ll to 6'3" and wear really thin shoes to appear 6'2!

I didn't say that there's no benefit. I just say that a 6'2" doesn't tower over a solid 6 footer.

Didn't say it was you who was saying that. The consensus on here seems as soon as you hit the magical 6ft mark, then no matter what, if you even dare to think about height for even a moment, then you are mentally ill. Just because someone is that height doesn't mean they never get towered or feel the height difference to others. Being 5'9 and feeling short to a 5'11 is the same case as a 6'0 to a 6'2. Only thing I suggested to you was to do more than 2.5cm, or else the time and pain will not be worth it.

I'm probably gonna do 2" realistically. All though 6'3" isn't my dream height, it would probably give me my money's worth and I'll probably shrink an inch in my early to late 50s. I just thought I'd ask for 1" because recovery time would be halved (2-3 months till I can go home as opposed to 4-6 months from 2-3") and I could move on with my life at my dream height of 6'2"-6'2.5" but I didn't think my question would anger people on this site.

i would love to be your height op, i think that if i was 185 cm at night, i would not be writtng this message but i understand why you want to be taller, the average height for young caucasian males is  180 cm, which means 185 cm is not really tall, but it's above average.
My goal height is near your dream height.

My goal height is near your dream height.

My height varies. The highest it's been is 187cm(6'1.5-75.") and the lowest it's been is 6'1" solid. I have been measured as 6'1 1/8 but the doctor rounded down to 6'1" or sometimes 6'1.25". Average height for caucasian male is 5'10.5" in USA and African American is 5'10" solid.

I bet 100 USD you aren't gonna do the surgery ever, but are here just to troll and mess around with people, same with every other above average or tall retard on this site.

I will when I finish college. Honestly, there's no way you can pay for this surgery on a minimum wage job. Well I guess it is possible but saving enough could take years for it to happen. I could probably go to Dr Salameh next year if he transfers back to Syria where it is 15000-20000

Better safe that money for psychiatrist. Don't go to Syria/India or some other   country for LL, unless you want to throw away your life.

I'm 28 almost. I know the time and pain could be shorter and possibly cheaper. I may do 1.5" for collateral but still may do 2". But it'd probably take 3 months at most for 1". There is no pill or ritual that makes you grow unfortunately so a short term ll would be the only option.
